Schedule boiler tune-up
Short answer
Book a licensed HVAC technician each fall to inspect and tune your boiler before heating season begins.
Why It Matters
Boilers handle the full heating load with high-pressure hot water or steam. Untuned boilers run inefficiently, cost more to operate, and are more likely to fail mid-winter. Annual service also catches leaks, scale, and combustion issues.
How to Do It
- Schedule a boiler tune-up with a licensed HVAC technician who has experience with boilers, booking in early fall before heating demand peaks.
- Ask the technician to check water pressure and inspect the expansion tank.
- Confirm the technician will flush sediment from the system and inspect the burner and heat exchanger.
- Have the technician test all safety controls before leaving.
- Review any findings with the technician, noting any leaks, scale buildup, or combustion issues they identified.
