If you use a boiler to keep your home warm in the winter, you depend on it for the cozy, comfortable warmth it provides. A functional and efficient boiler is essential for keeping your home warm when temperatures drop. When a boiler begins to show signs of trouble, ignoring the early warning signs could lead to more extensive and costly repairs—or worse, leave you without heat during a cold spell. Here are four key signs that your boiler may be in need of boiler repair in Staten Island, NY.
When your boiler starts to act up, your whole house feels the difference. Routine maintenance can prevent common issues, but sometimes, you still need to call for boiler repair in Staten Island to fully fix the issue.
There are many reasons why you may have boiler problems, like age, a faulty pilot light, or an issue with your thermostat. The best way to get to the heart of any boiler trouble is to call in a professional.
We suggest having your boiler serviced every year. While any time is a good time to schedule a maintenance call, ideal times are right before the heating season begins, or right after it ends.
Your home’s boiler is an essential component of your home’s comfort. The boiler warms water to provide radiant heat to your home. In some cases it can even help provide hot water to some of your plumbing appliances
When your boiler runs into trouble, it will negatively impact your ability to keep warm. It will be pretty apparent too. This is just one of the reasons why you would want to schedule repairs for your boiler ASAP.
If you recognize any of these warning signs that you need boiler repair in Staten Island, you should contact a professional to get expert assistance.
Your friends are over and, because it has been so cold, you made some nice hot tea for everyone to enjoy. Between the tea and the boiler, you and your guests should be nice and comfortably warm.
Your only problem right now is that you could swear you can still hear the kettle whistling to alert you that the water is hot. You’ve checked the stove is off and the kettle is quiet, so where is that noise coming from?
The source of the sound may actually be from your boiler. And while the tea is nice and warm, if your boiler is making this noise, everyone may not be able to get as warm as you originally thought.
Staten Island is still quite cold. After all, the weather up here doesn’t mess around during winter and it can often last a lot longer than we would like. With that said, it is clear to see why it pays to have a working heating system such as a boiler that you can rely on. With use comes wear and tear however and we doubt that, if you have a boiler, you’ve spent any time with this system turned off in recent days.
What we want to focus on is this: Your boiler might have a repair need right now that, while it isn’t impeding on your comfort right now, could worsen and cause your system to shut down. What can help prevent this from happening? Well, for one, knowing what to look for will give you the ability to realize that your boiler needs helps. For two, having a professional team like ours to call for boiler repair service allows you to set up repairs before they get any worse.
When some people think of rust they might picture an old gate with rusty hinges, or rusty pipes in an abandoned building. Less likely to come to mind if the image of a boiler that is beginning to corrode.
Rust is never a good thing when it comes to your home’s comfort systems. Picturing a rusted pipe probably made you cringe because you know it indicates a leak. When your boiler begins to rust, you should have the same reaction.
But what causes your boiler to rust? And how do you fix the issue?
We can provide you the answers below. In the interim, however, we encourage you to reach out for professional help if you think that your boiler might be beginning to rust.
October is over, but we want to mention something about “haunted houses”—most hauntings are really noises coming from pipes and plumbing. These noises can be pretty startling sometimes, and they can be more frightening when you know where they’re really coming from.
For example, what if you find your boiler making bizarre sounds you’ve never heard from it before? It’ll probably cause you to worry that something is wrong with it, or that it might burst.
You shouldn’t panic over boiler noises—bursting is extremely rare—but you should be concerned. Call for boiler repair in Staten Island, NY to have the problem investigated and any necessary fixes performed.
There are many advantages to using a boiler for home heating rather than a forced-air system like a furnace. A boiler provides cleaner air and works at high energy efficiency to keep down the high cost of staying warm in a New York winter. The best long-term advantage of a boiler is that a boiler is … long-term! On average, a boiler will outlast a furnace by five or more years.
Your boiler isn’t immortal, of course! If you live in your home long enough, the boiler will wear down to the point where paying for repair after repair is no longer worth it. Putting in a new boiler stops those extra costs and helps you avoid an emergency winter breakdown.
Not all HVAC contractors work on services to install and repair boilers. That’s unfortunate, since boilers are still popular choices for home heating that offer a number of benefits over using a forced-air system like a furnace. We’re proud to offer complete services for boiler installation and boiler repair in Staten Island, NY. Many of our customers rely on boilers to get them through the winter, and it’s our duty to see those boilers stay in the best shape for as long as possible.
Here’s a good rule to live by: if you are unsure about your boiler’s performance, then you definitely need to call professionals to look into it. There’s something making you suspicious, and unless it’s a problem that’s easily solved (like a mistake in thermostat settings), it will take skilled HVAC repair technicians to uncover the actual problem and find solutions to it.
