3 Boiler Maintenance Facts You Didn’t But Should Know

1. 3 Boiler Maintenance Facts You Didn’t But Should Know Boilers are a much-needed commodity in homes. During the cold chilly nights of winter, boilers can not only provide you with hot buckets of water to run a bath or household chores but also give you a warm and pleasant bedroom to sleep in. However, boilers are also one of the most neglected things in a home. Not only are boilers not given the proper attention during summer but also boiler servicing is completely neglected by most. What most people don’t realize is that it can have a drastic effect on the performance of your boiler. Boiler maintenance is extremely necessary to maintain the “health” and effectiveness of your boiler. Here are 5 facts by boiler experts at Edmondson Heating that will help you know more about your boiler: Boilers are Affected by Season Changes: While boilers are impossible to live without during winter, summer is a time when most homeowners forget that they have a boiler. This is why most boilers tend to break down, rust or leak due to a long downtime. What you must remember is that summer is a good time to schedule your boiler servicing schedule so the boiler can be cleaned and checked for any problems before winter comes. A good practice is to give it summer runs so that it does not rust or breakdown due to inactivity. Servicing can Improve Your Boiler’s Performance and Life: Notice how your car gives better mileage when serviced regularly? The same goes for boilers. Boilers have to work constantly for part of the year which can cause them to wear out. Constant use also means occasional pipe breakages, leakages, blockages, sludge build-up, and such. These can affect the working mechanism of the boiler and slow it down or cause it to work harder. All of this leads to inefficiency since it puts more pressure on the boiler. In preventing your boiler from using more energy or wearing it down, boiler servicing plays an important role. No Water Wastage: Boilers are essentially closed systems that do not waste water or energy unless you force them to. Modern boilers work in a loop where water is recycled to feed the system and keep it running. Unlike old boilers, these do not dry the air or make it moist. These are completely closed systems and remain so if you maintain a good boiler servicing schedule. Servicing helps detect problems early on giving you time to fix them before they can cause any problems. It is important to note that 35% of energy is wasted if your boiler does not work efficiently. So make it a point to get your Boiler Servicing Dagham done by registered engineers.
