Have you recently installed or converted to a gas boiler? Are you unsure of how often a home or business needs a gas boiler service and repair? Here’s what the experts at J Griffin advice.
Boiler Home Warranties
Is your boiler still within the warranty stage? It’s usually five or ten years. If so, manufacturers usually require boiler owners to have regular servicing to keep it valid. Improper maintenance will invalidate your warranty and lead to out-of-pocket expenses for boiler service and repair. Most warranties require a service check annually to ensure the boiler is working efficiently.
Gas Boiler Service & Repair
Gas boiler service and repair depends on need. While warranties only tend to require annual check-ups, boiler usage and the level of its performance will dictate the need for service and repair. Newer boilers may not require as much upkeep as one that is aging, but at a minimum, it should be annual. If you notice that your boiler is working less efficiently, call for a check-up.
What Is A Gas Boiler Service And Repair?
If your gas boiler is at least one year old, it’s time to start thinking about proper service and maintenance. Here are the critical components included with our gas boiler service and repair.
- Boiler Inspection
A thorough inspection is vital for boiler longevity because it allows our technicians to identify aging parts and maintain their shelf life. It’s also important to inspect the pipes to ensure the lines and connecting accessories are in the best working condition. It’s also the best time for our technicians to find boiler parts that are corroded, cracked, or leaking.
After a visual inspection under the boiler casing, we also do a safety check to ensure the parts are working properly before we leave. This step lets us know that the parts we have repaired or replaced are now performing at optimal levels. Hiring a technician from J Griffin Heating and Plumbing ensures you get qualified, timely boiler service each year.
- Pressure Check
After the inspection, our technician will perform a gas pressure check, which promotes safety and performance standards. This is the optimal time to also check and clean the flue to ensure gases are exiting the home properly. We also want to ensure your boiler is burning the proper amount of gas. If it is too high, your boiler is not running efficiently.
- Part Repair or Replacement
You don’t want to wait until your boiler quits to call for part repair or replacement. We can do that during a service call. It’s the best way to extend the shelf-life of your boiler.
- Cleaning
A well-maintained gas boiler equates to a high-performing household appliance. Regular cleaning of parts like the burner assembly or heat exchanger ensures higher efficiency. It also prevents dirt and debris from getting inside the casing and causing serious damage.
