Boilers

A boiler is essentially a hot water tank with the primary function of heating up water on-demand. It’s usually meant to provide water heating capabilities to residential properties as well as commercial ones.

While there are different types of boilers, gas boilers are the most popular and work by being connected to a continuous supply of fuel. When turned on, the boiler valve opens to let in gas which then enters a sealed combustion chamber. After this, an electric ignition system will ignite this fuel so it can burn and heat up the water inside the tank.

Just as with any man-made system, it’s inevitable that sooner or later a boiler’s ability to run smoothly will diminish. As it ages, it begins to operate less efficiently, and heating your home might even get more costly as the system gets worn out. This is why scheduling routine assessments where our team can spot potential problems before the worsen is imperative to a boiler’s performance. Even if your boiler is not faulty or experiencing issues, routine tune-ups are important in prolonging its life.

If regular professional maintenance is overlooked, a boiler not functioning as it’s supposed to can become a safety hazard for your family and home. It’s important to know the signs of a faulty boiler so you can turn off the system and call us immediately before the problem develops. We offer emergency repairs should you experience a breakdown as boiler damage can be incredibly dangerous if not tended to right away.

Usually, boilers begin to wear out and require replacement every 10 years. If your boiler is more than 10 years old, it’s very likely that it’s no longer running as efficiently as it once did. A boiler replacement will ensure smooth, quiet operation, optimal energy efficiency, savings on energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
