If you are uncertain whether your boiler needs a repair, this blog post is for you. We will discuss the signs that you need a boiler repair service, as well as some expert tips for maintaining your boiler. By the end of this post, you will have a better understanding of when it is time to call a professional and how to keep your boiler in optimal condition.
Visible signs of leakage from the boiler or pipes – This means that there might be something wrong with either the piping or the sealant around the pipes themselves. Either one could need replacing in order for your home heating system to operate correctly again.
Difficulty starting the boiler or frequent cycling – If starting up your furnace feels like an uphill battle every winter, there may be a problem with your boiler itself. Have someone check out whether there's anything causing interference within the system and fix it if necessary.
The last sign that you might want to check into is whether or not your pilot light stays lit all year long– if not, this could mean that there's something blocking gas flow into the burner(s). In this case, a professional will need access in order to diagnose and fix whatever issue is causing this issue.
