Mid-Year Boiler Check-Up

Just because your boiler isn’t working overtime during the summer doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Off-season maintenance ensures your boiler is ready when the colder months return. Here’s your mid-year boiler check-up guide.

Clean the Boiler

Dust and debris can accumulate in and around your boiler. Give it a good clean to remove any buildup that could affect its performance. Pay attention to the vents and flue as well. Our local experts can assist if you need help.

Check for Leaks

Inspect the area around your boiler for signs of water leaks. Even small leaks can indicate more significant issues that need professional attention. If you notice any leaks, contact your neighborhood experts at Lake Michigan Heating Cooling Plumbing. Our team of friendly technicians can come out and fix any issues.

Test the Pressure

The pressure gauge on your boiler should read between 1 and 1.5 bars. If the pressure is too high or too low, it could affect your boiler’s efficiency. While topping up the pressure or bleeding the system might sound simple, it’s often best to let the pros handle it to avoid complications. Contact the knowledge team at Lake Michigan Heating Cooling Plumbing to have our certified technicians ensure your boiler’s pressure is optimal.

Inspect the Pilot Light

Ensure the pilot light is burning blue. A yellow or orange flame could indicate a problem that requires professional attention. If the light is not blue, it’s crucial to have it checked by our experts to avoid potential issues and ensure the safe operation of your boiler.

Schedule a Professional Maintenance Check

While DIY maintenance is crucial, nothing beats a good-old-fashioned professional tune-up. Our team of local experts can perform a comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and maintenance service to ensure your boiler is in top shape. For added peace of mind, consider joining our Service Club Membership, which offers bi-annual tune-ups, priority service, and exclusive member benefits.

Regular professional maintenance during your boiler’s offseason can extend the lifespan of your boiler, improve efficiency, and catch any potential issues before they become costly repairs. Schedule a professional boiler maintenance check with the pros at Lake Michigan Heating Cooling Plumbing at (616) 540-7918 and find out why life is better at the lake.

Satisfied Customer

The phrase first impressions are lasting impressions rings true with Daniel VanderHyde. He rescued us one Saturday morning after we tried “fixing” our leaky shower faucet ourselves. Hoping he could not only undo what we’d done, but be able to fix it without it being a major project was our biggest concern. And he did just that! We were very impressed with the pride and care he put into his work; he was truly a professional.

Jamie & Christie H.

Daniel came right down to fix a pump that was broken on a machine and the timing… was critical, he had a very difficult task completed promptly and I was returned to productivity faster than expected. Thank you I’m very happy.

Mark G.

Dan and company were very prompt, efficient and fixed the problem at my Mothers’ house quickly. We were very happy with their service and how quickly they could come to fix the problem. I would highly recommend them.

Sarah Z.

Daniel and Aiden did an amazingly quick job responding to and repairing my broken furnace over a weekend. Cheers Gents!

Robert D.

Daniel and the entire staff are very responsive. I have used Lake Michigan Mechanical throughout the years. They are professional and charge a fair rate. Both Nigel and Brandon did an outstanding job fixing my old A/C unit and installed the NEST thermostat. Well done gentlemen! Also, most recently installed a tank-less water heater. Once again did outstanding work by Daniel and Team!

Lauren M.

Daniel installed an Eternal Water Heater and we absolutely love it! He was quick and very knowledgeable about his products. The quality of his work is second to none!

Melissa K.

So we have to get a shout out to Lake Michigan Mechanical. They were the only ones who could come do the repair today, everyone else was like three days or more out. They were really cool and made the best out of what was a really stressful day for us!! They were really respectful of keeping our door shut when they went in/out (you would not believe how many animals of ours have gotten out due to home repair people) and they cleaned up after themselves!! So far the hot water seems to be working great!

Jessica G.

Professional and knowledge. They did a great job identifying the problems we were having with our boiler. While other HVAC companies were telling us to replace our unit completely, they knew exactly what to fix to get us up and running, saving us thousands of dollars. I will be calling on them for future repairs I might need. Thank you, Daniel and team!!

Eva S.

I highly recommend Daniel with Lake Michigan Mechanical. Not only is he super friendly but he very professional and knows his stuff. I bought a new house and of course the current water heater died within a months time of buying the house. Daniel and staff were in and within 24 hours of me noting the problem we had a new heater. Thank you so much for great work!
