What to Expect From Boiler Maintenance

The type of boiler maintenance you will receive depends on the specific style of boiler in your home. Our technicians will typically provide:

Additionally, we’ll ensure the manufacturer’s recommended preventative maintenance is completed properly. This helps protect your warranty and keeps your family safe.

If your boiler needs more TLC than a mere tune-up, our team is happy to provide boiler repair services to get your system back up and running. We also offer full boiler installation and replacement services for customers who need new units.

How Often Should You Schedule Boiler Maintenance?

For most homes in New Haven, annual boiler maintenance is the standard, ideally scheduled before cold weather sets in. This ensures your system is prepared for heavy winter use.

Older systems or oil boilers may benefit from biannual inspections, since these units accumulate soot and residue more quickly. Scheduling service in early fall gives our technicians time to fine-tune performance and prevents surprise breakdowns during peak heating months.

If your boiler is making strange noises, taking longer to heat, or causing fluctuating temperatures, don’t wait for your next yearly tune-up. Call for maintenance as soon as possible!

Electric Boiler Maintenance

Electric boilers require less frequent maintenance than other types. That’s because they do not operate on combustion gases and have fewer moving parts. However, an annual inspection is beneficial to rule out safety or efficiency problems. Maintenance typically includes visual inspections of electric components and connections. Routine maintenance can help an electric boiler last beyond its expected 15-year lifespan.

Gas Boiler Maintenance

Annual inspections and maintenance are necessary for a gas boiler. This maintenance includes flushing out the boiler, checking the heat exchanger, and examining both the vent and chimney for wear and tear signs or breakdown. Additionally, gas boiler maintenance includes adjusting the boiler to improve efficiency and lubricating the circulating pump. Your technician will also check for gas leaks or damage to the system that could lead to these leaks over time. Proper maintenance by our licensed technicians can help ensure your gas boiler reaches its expected 10 to 15-year lifespan.

Oil Boiler Maintenance

An oil boiler requires servicing at least one time a year by a qualified technician like those at Air Specialties. This is because these boilers typically have a buildup of carbon soot and other debris within the operational mechanisms. This causes the oil to thicken to unsafe and inefficient levels. Our technicians will also inspect the flue pipe to look for buildup and, if present, remove it. They will replace both the oil and air filter to improve airflow. Additional maintenance of the oil boiler typically includes cleaning the floor vents, adjusting the burner, and testing efficiency. 

Steam Boiler Maintenance

Steam boilers are recognized for their efficiency and clean air output, but they require routine maintenance to keep them operating at their best. During a tune-up, our experienced technician visually inspects the steam boiler to look for signs of wear and tear. This maintenance typically includes flushing the boiler, ensuring it is properly filled, and replacing worn components in the automatic water feeders. Done by a professional, steam boiler maintenance can extend its lifespan and ensure safe operation.

Why Boiler Maintenance Matters

A well-maintained boiler protects your investment, preserves efficiency, and helps avoid costly repairs. Annual tune-ups ensure your system runs safely and consistently through the harsh Connecticut winters. Here’s why staying proactive matters:

  • Prevents Major Breakdowns: Small issues caught early don’t turn into expensive repairs later.
  • Improves Energy Efficiency: Clean, calibrated systems use less fuel to produce the same amount of heat.
  • Extends System Lifespan: Routine maintenance reduces wear and tear on crucial components.
  • Keeps Your Warranty Valid: Many manufacturers require annual maintenance to maintain coverage.
  • Enhances Safety: Professional inspections identify issues like gas leaks, carbon monoxide risks, or poor ventilation before they become dangerous.

How Boiler Maintenance Saves You Money

Regular maintenance directly impacts your wallet. A well-tuned boiler consumes less energy, runs more efficiently, and experiences fewer breakdowns over its lifespan.

Here’s how investing in maintenance pays off:

  • Lower Utility Bills: Clean burners and calibrated controls help your boiler use less energy to heat your home.
  • Reduced Repair Costs: Addressing worn parts early prevents expensive component failures.
  • Extended Equipment Life: Proper lubrication, cleaning, and adjustments reduce strain and slow down wear.
  • Consistent Heating: A balanced, efficient system evenly distributes warmth throughout your home.
  • Higher Property Value: Efficient, well-documented maintenance improves the appeal of your home to future buyers.

A few hundred dollars spent on yearly maintenance can save thousands in repair or replacement costs down the line.
