Spring Boiler Maintenance Tips

Spring Boiler Maintenance Tips

Boilers are among essential components in any home. Poorly maintained boilers lead to energy wastage and make the system inefficient. Therefore, maintenance is a critical occurrence that each homeowner must prioritize for their boilers to serve efficiently.

Significance of Boiler Maintenance in The Greater Toronto Area

Maintaining your boiler comes with several advantages. For starters, it improves the lifespan as it reduces the chances of a breakdown. With proper maintenance schedules, your boiler will continue to serve without technical issues. If not properly maintained, the system consumes more power, leading to accelerated bills. Maintenance procedures keep the boiler clean and free from dust buildup. Contact A-Plus Quality today for boiler maintenance in Toronto and surrounding areas. 

Maintenance Tips for Residential Boilers

Observe regular servicing no matter how perfect your boiler appears, schedule an annual maintenance appointment. You may not identify issues physically, which is why you should not wait for the system to fail. An expert assesses the system for possible problems during the process of boiler maintenance in the Greater Toronto Area. Regular maintenance allows early detection of issues, stopping them from damaging the entire system. That way, homeowners avoid the cost of buying a new boiler and the installation budget.

Monitor the Boiler Pressure More Often

One of the safety precautions that homeowners should never overlook is checking the boiler pressure time-to-time. Monitor the gauge to know when you need to refill it. When the levels go below one bar, pressurize the system to avoid mechanical issues.

Keep the Radiators Balanced

Balancing the radiators improves performance and prevents an uneven supply of hot water in your home. Contacting a certified technician in the Greater Toronto Area from A-Plus Quality HVAC Services may be necessary if you have challenges in balancing your radiators.

Check for Blockages

Inspect your boiler regularly to remove any blockages. The system requires proper air circulation to operate effectively, and this is not achievable with clutter blocking the way. Avoid covering the air vents or blocking the outside chimneys with any object.

While becoming a homeowner features loads of responsibilities, never forget to maintain your residential boiler. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for an A-Plus Quality technician to have your boiler maintained in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions.

FAQ

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!

  • Most common Boiler Issues

    - Boiler fails to ignite
    - Low pressure
    - Strange Noises
    - Boiler is not responding to the thermostat
    - Cold Radiators
    - Boiler leaking or dripping
    - Boiler cycling very fast
    - Available Hot water but No Heat

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337
