Signs Your Boiler Needs a Tune-Up

If your boiler is showing any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule professional maintenance:

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds can indicate air pockets, mineral buildup, or pressure issues.
  • Inconsistent Heating: Uneven temperatures throughout your home may signal circulation problems or thermostat malfunctions.
  • Higher Energy Bills: A sudden rise in heating costs suggests the system is working harder than necessary.
  • Frequent Cycling: If your boiler turns on and off too frequently, it could mean thermostat calibration issues or airflow blockages.
  • Pilot Light Issues: A yellow or flickering pilot light could indicate a ventilation problem or carbon monoxide risk.
  • Slow Heat-Up Time: If your system takes longer than usual to heat your home, it may need a cleaning or component adjustment.

Addressing these problems early helps prevent expensive breakdowns and heating inefficiencies.

  • Prevent breakdowns and costly emergency repairs.

  • Checking the gas pressure and burner operation.
  • Testing the thermostat to maintain proper temperature control.
  • Examining the flue and ventilation system for safety compliance.
