Maintaining heating equipment is an ongoing process, but boilers present unique challenges. Boilers use hot water to heat homes and commercial buildings, and water can cause problems you won’t encounter with traditional furnaces. If you have a boiler, here are some reasons why you’re likely to face repairs for that type of heating equipment:
Mineral Deposits. If you have hard water, it contains minerals that can create deposits in boiler pipes, clogging them up and making the equipment inefficient. Mineral deposits within the boiler can cause the unit to overheat. A HVAC service provider will need to flush and refill the boiler system with softer water.
A boiler can be an excellent choice for heating equipment, but it does require regular upkeep to stay running efficiently and reliably. If you have noticed a change in your boiler’s performance, it’s a good idea to call a professional HVAC company for an inspection and possible repairs.
