A common mistake Delta, CO homeowners make is waiting to call for boiler repair when something is wrong. Boiler issues usually don’t go away on their own and often worsen. Another mistake is not scheduling the routine boiler services that would have prevented those repairs. Regular service can save you money month to month and extend the lifespan of your hydronic heating system. Home Comfort Services is the team to call in Delta for all your boiler needs.

Homeowners should schedule boiler maintenance every year. The best time to schedule is in the fall before you need to turn on the heat. Flushing the tank is one of the most important maintenance services. It removes all the limescale and other sediment. A seasonal tune-up is also an opportunity to check the anode rod, valves, condensation pipe, and so forth.
Scale accumulation is one of the reasons regular boiler services are so important. The buildup increases pressure in the tank and can lead to kettling and other odd noises. It can cause an uneven distribution of heating within the tank. Scale can also coat components within the tank. That can lead to premature part failure. In the meantime, the scale can act as an insulator and decrease the unit’s energy efficiency.
Another common issue is uneven heating from radiators. You can often feel cold spots along the radiator, which indicates an air pocket. Air can get into the system due to scale and other causes of pressure changes within the unit. The usual fix in this scenario is to bleed the radiators in order to let all the trapped air escape.
If you have an older boiler giving you constant problems, a new boiler installation will likely be more cost-effective in the long run. Should you go with hot water or steam? Hot water boilers are more efficient and provide finer heating control. That said, if you already have a steam system, it’s usually more economical to stick with it for now. When the time comes for a major renovation to the system, then you can consider transitioning.
Watch for these signs that it’s time for a boiler repair or replacement:
Unusual noises
Rising energy usage
Pressure too high or low
Leaks and excess condensation
