604-765-1299Regular maintenance is key to keeping your boiler running efficiently, reliably, and safely. The annual shutdown is a perfect time to identify potential problem areas that need attention. To help you get started, here is an inspection checklist:
While a clean and operating boiler is required, don’t forget about support systems like:
Make sure that makeup-air louvers are clean, as dirty louvers inhibit the combustion air. In addition, repair leaks in valves and fittings. Leaks require the introduction of cold makeup water into a system with additional health input and chemicals. Furthermore, ensure that chimney and flue terminations are clean and clear. Test mechanical vent systems for proper operation. An improperly operating vent system affects combustion efficiency. Finally, verify that water-testing equipment is calibrated properly and not beyond its expiration date. Improper water chemistry leads to scaling and corrosion. By keeping these systems in mind, you can maintain a boiler that runs smoothly for years to come.
It is important to have an annual boiler shutdown as part of your standard operating procedures and to have trained technicians who can perform a thorough inspection and combustion tune-up.
A skilled service technician is required for boiler maintenance. Call us at 604-262-9571 or send us an inquiry via info@totallinehvac.ca to schedule a consultation or inspection of your system.
