So, what happens during boiler service?

When you schedule a boiler service, a qualified technician will perform a series of tasks to ensure your boiler functions optimally and safely. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of what happens during a boiler service:

Inspection of External Components

The service begins with a thorough inspection of the boiler's external components. This includes checking for any visible signs of damage, rust, or corrosion. Any issues found during this initial assessment are noted for further examination.

Assessment of Combustion Chamber

The technician will then access the combustion chamber. They will inspect the burner and heat exchanger for any signs of wear or damage. Proper combustion is vital for efficiency and safety, so any issues are addressed promptly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Next, the technician will clean various boiler components, including the burner, flue, and heat exchanger. Cleaning removes dirt and debris that can affect performance. Additionally, they'll lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and wear.

Testing of Safety Features

Safety is paramount when it comes to boilers. The technician will test safety features like the pressure relief valve, thermostat, and carbon monoxide detector to ensure they function correctly.

Efficiency Assessment

A critical aspect of boiler servicing is assessing its efficiency. The technician will measure the boiler's combustion efficiency and adjust settings as needed to maximize performance and energy savings.

Flue Inspection

The flue, responsible for expelling combustion gases, is inspected for any obstructions or leaks. Ensuring proper ventilation is essential to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
