SIGNS YOUR BOILER NEEDS REPAIR
Here are a few telltale signs that you ought to get some repairs done on your boiler.
- Pilot Light Problems – Problems with your electronic ignition or pilot light can signify that your boiler is malfunctioning. Boiler systems last for a long time, so it’s important to know when you see a functioning error so you can get it fixed.
- Whistling – A boiler system is essentially a massive pot of boiling water, so it’s very similar to a tea kettle. When a kettle reaches peak temperature, it whistles. Whistling or kettling results from hard water residues and byproducts, like mineral deposits, settling in your boiler. These mineral deposits can impact the pressure level inside your boiler.
- Leaks – When an appliance leaks, it’s never a good thing. When you suspect a leak in your boiler kettle, it has to be replaced so it won’t lead to property damage. Because boiler leaks can’t typically be repaired, it’s best to avoid them.
- Spiking Utility Costs – If you have seen spikes in your utility spending, it’s typically a sign of an aging appliance. When appliances age, they become less efficient. They can also become a drain on your home’s energy usage.
Boilers can last for many years with proper care. If your system is less than 15 years old, maintaining your system through timely repairs and care is the most cost-efficient thing you can do for your boiler heating system. Our Grand Rapids boiler repair team can help ensure your boiler is always ready to serve you.
