Signs Your Boiler Needs Service
Early detection of boiler problems can prevent costly breakdowns and extend system life.
Warning Signs
-
Strange Noises
Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds often indicate air in the system, low water pressure, or mineral buildup inside the boiler.
-
Inconsistent Heating
Some rooms too hot while others remain cold suggests circulation problems, air in the system, or failing zone controls.
-
Leaking Water
Water pooling near your boiler or radiators indicates a leak. This requires immediate attention to prevent water damage and system failure.
-
Rising Fuel Bills
If your heating costs are increasing without a corresponding increase in usage, your boiler may be running inefficiently.
Maintenance Tips
-
Annual Flush
Annual system flushing removes sediment and mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and causes corrosion.
-
Regular Venting
Bleeding radiators once per year (especially at season start) removes air and improves heating performance.
-
Pressure Monitoring
Keep an eye on the pressure gauge. If it consistently runs high or low, call for service.
-
Professional Inspection
Annual professional inspection catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns.
