Frequently Asked Questions

What does a boiler service include?

A comprehensive boiler service covers safety inspections, combustion analysis, burner cleaning, water-level checks, control testing, venting examination, and a detailed performance report.

How often should I service my boiler?

Industry best practices recommend annual maintenance, ideally before the heating season begins. High-use or older systems may benefit from biannual checkups.

How long does a boiler inspection take?

Most inspections and tune-ups are completed within 60–90 minutes, depending on system complexity and any recommended repairs.

What should I do if my boiler loses pressure?

First, check the pressure gauge against manufacturer guidelines. If it’s below range, add water via the feed valve. Persistent drops indicate a leak or faulty safety valve—schedule an emergency repair to avoid system damage.
