How To Tell if Your Boiler Needs Repair
Sometimes a boiler fails all at once, leaving you suddenly without heat. In many cases, there are warning signs that a boiler is malfunctioning or nearing the end of its service life. Paying attention to these signs may allow you to fix the problem before it becomes an emergency. Call a professional boiler repair technician if you experience any of the following conditions.
Banging or Clanging Noises From the Boiler
Banging noises from the boiler are a sign of cavitation, which happens when a steam bubble suddenly pops, allowing air or water to rush in and take its place. Normally the boiler should not be running hot enough to produce steam bubbles, so cavitation signifies something has gone wrong. Cavitation is also not good for the boiler since the vibration produced by cavitation can damage the boiler and its valves.
Unusually High Gas Bills
If your boiler uses natural gas, a gas leak will show up as an increase in your gas bill. Another sign of a gas leak is the smell of sulfur around the boiler or the gas pipes. Natural gas manufacturers add an odorous chemical to natural gas to make leaks easier to detect.
A gas leak is a serious emergency. You should contact your utility company immediately so that they can identify and stop the leak. Get people and pets out of the house and do not generate any sparks or flames that could trigger an explosion.
A Yellow Pilot Light
The usual blue color of the pilot light flame results from the mixing of natural gas and oxygen that enters the combustion chamber. The flame becomes yellow when there is too much natural gas and not enough oxygen. This imbalance could be due to blocked inlets for air or a defect in the boiler allowing too much gas to enter the chamber. Without adequate oxygen, combustion becomes inefficient, producing soot that can damage valves and ductwork.
Boiler Maintenance
Experts recommend that you have your boiler serviced at least once a year. Ideally, this should occur in the fall before the weather gets cold enough that the boiler is necessary for heating. An annual check-up allows the technician to fix problems before you start using the boiler again, potentially avoiding damage or wear and tear on the system.
Trust 1 Services
carries out the following maintenance procedures when we are on a service call:
Checking the boiler for signs of rust or corrosion
Examining valves for signs of leakage, wear, or corrosion
Ensuring that the heat exchanger is functioning normally
Confirming that the pilot light is working properly
Inspecting piping for obstructions, scaling, and other problems that could impede water flow
Looking at the condensate trap for any problems
At the end of our service call, we will discuss any problems we have found and decide on a plan of action to correct any problems. We won’t pressure you into any services you don’t want, and we will make sure that you fully understand the options and that we understand your concerns.
Boiler Installation
When you’ve decided to have a new boiler installed, after consulting with a Trust 1 Services expert, an installation technician will come to your home and plan the installation process. They will identify the hookups and connections and plan how to move the new boiler in and remove the old one. The technician will discuss the specifications of the new boiler and confirm with you any other changes that might happen.
Once the boiler is ready for installation, the technicians will arrive and install your new boiler over the next one to three days. Before they leave, they will make sure that you are satisfied with the installation, answered all of your questions, and explained what you need to do to maintain the boiler over the next fifteen to thirty years.
