Expert Boiler Maintenance in the Mohawk Valley & Capital Region

Don’t wait until it’s too late to take care of the boiler in a home or business. Boiler maintenance can help keep boilers working at peak performance and helps owners address potential issues before it can turn into significant problems.

Given the climate residents in the Mohawk Valley and Capital Region face, a working boiler is essential during the months when the weather is frigid. The last thing anyone wants during an icy winter is for the boiler to fail, leaving everyone uncomfortable without heat and hot water.

It’s possible to actively prevent boiler failure by scheduling routine boiler tune-ups from Standard. Regular boiler maintenance may also extend a boiler’s lifespan and reduce the number of boiler repairs needed in the future.  

Benefits of Boiler Tune-Ups

Many boiler warranties require owners to periodically have professionals maintain the equipment to keep the warranty valid. Warranties offer critical benefits, particularly if expensive boiler issues arise down the road but following manufacturers’ guidelines isn’t the only reason to consider scheduling regular boiler cleaning services. Additional benefits include:

Safer Operation

Boilers produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct of regular operation, and the gas is usually safely vented outside. If the exhaust pipe gets damaged or other elements are worn down, that deadly gas can leak into the home.

Increased Efficiency

Boilers are one of the highest energy users in a home, second only to HVAC systems. Boiler cleaning services and maintenance increase efficiency, which saves money on energy bills.

How Often Does a Boiler Need a Tune-Up?

The frequency of required boiler maintenance depends on several factors. First, what does the warranty stipulate? Most manufacturers recommend getting annual professional boiler maintenance. If there’s no warranty, it’s helpful to speak with a professional to determine the best schedule for a particular boiler. Once the boiler reaches 10 years old, annual tune-ups are essential to stay on top of potential issues and keep the equipment functioning well.
