Signs That Your Boiler Needs Maintenance
Many homes rely on boilers to provide heat and hot water. Although, the majority of homeowners are unfamiliar with how to provide proper upkeep, nor determine if their boiler needs a repair. These systems lie dormant through most of the spring and summer months, and are therefore put under an enormous amount of pressure when they are restarted for the winter season. To avoid dealing with a system malfunction during harsh Michigan winters, keep an eye out for these common signs that your boiler needs a repair:
- No Heat or Hot Water
- Leaking Water
- Water Leaking from Relief Valve
- Kettling (A Popcorn-like Sound)
- Pilot Light is Out
- Low Boiler Pressure
- Strange Noises
- Thermostat Issues
- Boiler Keeps Turning Itself Off
How We Can Service Your Boiler
A malfunctioning boiler is a safety hazard, not only for the technician performing maintenance, but for your entire home as well. Letting your system go without proper inspection and repairs could result in frozen pipes, gas leaks, or even an explosion. In order to prevent disaster, your boiler should always be serviced by a licensed professional. However, the majority of HVAC technicians aren’t properly certified to service your residence’s boiler.

- Winter Startup & Inspection
- Fixing the Circulator Pump

Boiler Installations
There are numerous advantages that come with choosing a boiler to meet your home’s heating needs. They’re fuel-efficient, inexpensive to maintain, and generally have a long life expectancy. Whether you want to convert to a boiler system or need to replace your current installation, it’s imperative that you have a certified technician take care of the process. Doing it yourself or hiring an amateur technician may seem like an easier choice, but you run the risk of creating problems that both result in a costly repair and pose a danger to your home. When a THC technician handles your new boiler install, we will help you decide on the optimal power source for your residence, ensure that the correctly sized equipment is installed, and that the piping is properly insulated and protected to prevent freezing in low temperatures.
