Annual Boiler Maintenance for Best Boiler Performance

Just like changing your car’s oil every 3,000 miles to protect the engine, so too should you maintain all of your heating equipment to keep it running smoothly, and that includes your boiler heating system. Performing monthly water checks and annual maintenance guards against malfunctions and failures that can lead to expensive repairs.

Here are a few tips to keep your boiler in tip-top shape.

  • Replace Worn Out Parts: Inspect the parts that undergo wear and tear, such as gaskets, to ensure they’re not worn out, and replace them if they are.
  • Remover Burner & Clean the Mesh: Keeping the mesh clean is crucial to the smooth operation of the boiler, so clean it even if it doesn’t appear to need it.
  • Inspect the Fireside of the Heat Exchanger: Once a year, inspect the fire side of the heat exchanger and clean if needed.
  • Replace Old Igniter, Flame Rod, & Gaskets: Gaskets should be replaced every year to guard against boiler failure.
  • Clean the Condensate Trap: The condensate produced by natural gas boilers is corrosive, which is why the trap must be cleaned at least once a year and checked for leaks.

Here in Boulder, having reliable heat is essential for keeping families comfortable during the winter months. Since it can be a disaster for a boiler to fail when you need it most, here are the most common signs that something is wrong and that you need to call a boiler repair service.
