How Boilers Work
Boilers depend on your pipes or radiators to provide efficient heating to your home. Because no blowers are included in this type of system, you can enjoy consistent heating without a draft. However, it also means that a leaky pipe or aging system could greatly affect the boiler’s performance and your home’s comfort level.
Common Boiler Problems
Because they use water, boilers generate buildup without proper maintenance. The heated water leaves behind minerals that can put pressure on your pipes, eventually leading to leaks. Air in the heating pipes can also make your boiler less efficient.
Pump failure is another common issue requiring boiler service, especially for boilers over 15 years old. This results in less heat—or none at all—in your home.
Common problems for boilers include:
- Low water levels
- Broken thermostat
- Leaking boiler / pipes
- Malfunctioning pilot light
Boiler Service FAQs
Is it worth repairing a boiler?
Yes, like most appliances and major equipment in your home, it’s better to repair a boiler than replace it if possible. Repairs tend to cost less than replacements and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by years.
The only time it is not worth repairing a boiler is when it is extremely old. If your boiler is more than 15 years old and experiencing a major issue, replacing it might be more effective. However, if the boiler is made of cast iron, it can last well past 20 years. To determine whether repair is the better option, hire a plumber to perform an inspection.
What is the maintenance required for a boiler?
Though boiler service should be carried out by professionals, there are a few tasks that can help you maintain your boiler. First, you should check for leaks and noises weekly to ensure nothing is wrong.
If nothing is wrong with the boiler during your weekly check, you should perform some basic tests to ensure its functionality. This includes changing the temperature and monitoring the pressure readings. We also recommend sampling the water for hardness and mineral content.
It’s also a good idea to schedule regular boiler service with a plumbing company. They can come yearly to ensure everything is functioning properly and tackle any potential issues before they impact your home.
