ANNUAL BOILER MAINTENANCE

calendar

The best way to start saving money on energy today is simply to maintain your hydronic heating system. 

Just the same way changing your filters & oil in your car engine increases your kilometers per gallon in your car - so too does cleaning your boiler increase it's efficiency; meaning it will use less energy to heat the same amount of space.

If you notice an increase in your gas bill that isn't related to a gas price increase, odds are your gas boiler furnace isn't operating as efficiently as it should be and is in need of maintenance.

Annual maintenance is also an important part of prolonging the life of your boiler heating system. And with the current costs of replacing a hydronic heating system it makes since to prolong the life of your system to get the most from your investment.

In addition if you have a new boiler then it is absolutely essential that you have the annual maintenance performed to maintain the warranty (your warranty become null and void if you do not have the unit serviced annually by a licensed tradesman).

But with so many brands and models it can be challenging to know who is actually certified and knowledgeable enough to care for your boiler heating system.

Once added to our annual boiler cleaning notification program you never have to worry about remembering when to schedule your next cleaning - we will send you a notification reminder when it's time to have your annual service.

If there are problems with the boiler then we will notify you of the problem in writing with a written estimate on the costs to bring your unit back to maximum efficiency operations. If you decide to go ahead with the work we will perform the work for you right then and there (so long as there are available parts) at the quoted price. No hidden fees, you know up front before we ever do any work. That's the advantage to flat rate pricing.

Our technicians are also skilled in balancing your system making sure that air is removed from the radiators and valves adjusted to make sure that each room of your home is comfortably heated.

If your system was poorly installed by someone else we can suggest & perform upgrades to bring your system up to where it should be operating.  You shouldn't be cold in a home heated with properly installed and maintained radiant heating.
