The Dangers of Skipping Boiler Maintenance

Money’s a little tight right now, and you’d probably like to spend it on anything other than boiler service. We get that, but this is one area we advise spending a little extra. Skipping annual maintenance not only means a shorter lifespan for your boiler, but can also pose a severe safety risk to you and your home. Without regular visits from an HVAC expert, your boiler will consume more energy, lose efficiency, and become increasingly at risk for catastrophic failure.

Left untreated, your system can build up excess heat and pressure—becoming a bomb on a twitchy fuse. And, if that safety risk isn’t enough to convince you, there are warranty requirements to consider. Many manufacturers will require proof of annual boiler maintenance before fulfilling their obligations. So, if you don’t want to be left on the hook for an expensive boiler repair, it’s best to give 303-663-6840 a call and join our yearly service program.

The Benefits of Boiler Maintenance in Castle Rock

We wrote briefly about the dangers of skipping boiler maintenance, but now it’s time to look on the bright side. Having your system regularly checked by the HVAC experts at Nytech Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing can:

  • Catch Problems Early: What was a loose bolt or rivet can quickly blossom into a repair worth hundreds of dollars. During our check, we’ll check belts and other components for signs of excess wear. Replacing them before they break is the best way to prevent a catastrophic failure.
  • Push-Off Boiler Replacement: The low cost of regular boiler maintenance is far lower than what you’ll shell out for a brand-new boiler. By making your system more efficient and relieving excess wear, you can extend your unit’s life by months or years. This will give you ample time to save up for a replacement.
  • Safety: Annual boiler maintenance protects your family from the risks associated with a lack of boiler maintenance. This includes a lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure and a lessened chance of complete system failure. Call Nytech Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing to get your annual boiler service scheduled and sleep easier.
  • Lower Heating Costs: Imagine trying to run with ankle weights. It’d be a lot harder than doing so unencumbered, right? Well, the former scenario is what your boiler deals with if it isn’t regularly cleaned and maintained. Through annual boiler maintenance, you give your boiler what it needs to perform at its best. Our typical customer reaps a savings of 10 percent or more on a yearly basis through this one service.

We’ve looked at what happens if you don’t service your boiler, so let’s look at some of the advantages of performing regular maintenance on your boiler.

Boiler Tune-Up FAQs

You’ll be happy to know your boiler in Castle Rock doesn’t need as many check-ups as your teeth. A once-yearly tune-up is ordinarily adequate to keep your radiant heating system going. Call Nytech Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing to schedule your annual appointment for boiler service in Larkspur or Parker.

Ideally, your boiler should be drained annually to keep it efficient and sediment-free. Though we recommend leaving this task to an Castle Rock heating contractor, it is something you can handle yourself. To do so, you’ll need a bucket, a wrench, a pair of gloves, and a hose. The steps are relatively simple:

  1. Turn off your boiler and the water supply at the main water valve.
  2. Turn on the hot water at your tub or sink. When it stops flowing, you’ve drained any residual water.
  3. Connect a hose to the boiler’s drain valve.
  4. Open your boiler’s drain valve and let the water flow.
  5. Circulate cold water through your tank and turn it off.
  6. Repeat Step 5 until no more sediment comes out.
  7. Close the valve, remove the hose, and turn the water back on.

Sediment build-up can significantly impact the efficiency of your boiler system. Fortunately, there are ways to help limit this and extend the time between draining your tanks. These include:

  • Add a water softener such as Borax to your tank to reduce buildup.
  • Install a whole-house water softener in Castle Rock.
  • Periodically add chemicals designed to prevent sediment buildup.
  • Perform small flushes to remove sediment without draining the system.

Though it’s best to leave a lot of Castle Rock boiler tune-up tasks to an HVAC professional, you can tackle a few things on your own. Aside from the periodic tank flushes mentioned above, you might want to consider the following:

  • Regularly checking your boiler’s pressure.
  • Periodically bleeding your radiators.
  • Inspecting your boiler and associated pipes for leaks weekly.
  • If your system has one, check on the pilot light.
  • Listen for banging, whistling, or gurgling.

If any of these items strike you as strange, you’ll want to call 303-663-6840 to schedule a boiler check-up with Nytech Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing. We’ll quickly uncover the problem.

You know the old saying? It’s too good to be true? That’s the case with $49 boiler maintenance. This low price tag comes at a cost. First, these ‘inspections’ are often nothing but glorified sales calls. Once the technician has their foot in the door, they’ll frequently push things like half-hearted duct cleanings and early Castle Rock boiler replacement. If you get a quote for radiant system maintenance below $150, there’s likely some fine print you need to read.

As Castle Rock HVAC professionals, we’ve seen the advantages of regular boiler maintenance firsthand. The few hundred dollars you invest annually in maintaining your heating system leads to several benefits. These include hearty savings on utility bills, an extended system lifespan, and a lower likelihood of emergency Castle Rock boiler repair.

Every HVAC company in Douglas County does boiler tune-ups a little differently. But there are some things that separate a good maintenance call from a bad one. First, your company needs to do a flue and fresh air check. This ensures verification systems are working correctly. A pressure check will also be done to ensure your family’s safety. A vigorous cleaning of things like the condensate trap, anode rod, and spark probe follows. Finally, a leak test and visual inspection will be done.

Whether you have a furnace or a boiler, the best time to schedule remains the same. You’ll want to schedule these annual check-ups in the early fall, just before the heating season starts. This ensures you won’t hit the first frost with a system that can’t keep up. Want to make scheduling these things easier?
