Boiler Tune-Ups in Freeport

Keeping Boilers in Freeport in Peak Operating Condition for Over 50 Years

No matter what kind of boiler you have—electric, gas, or combination—you need to maintain it. And, for safety and efficiency reasons, it’s best to leave this part of boiler ownership to a licensed HVAC professional. Someone with boiler repair experience is better able to identify potential repairs early, often eliminating the need for early system replacement.

At BoMar Heating & Cooling, we’ve been providing boiler maintenance in Freeport since we opened our doors in 1974.

To learn more about our boiler maintenance program—and how it can save you 10 percent on your annual heating bills—give (815) 233-1622 a call.

The Dangers of Skipping Boiler Maintenance

Money’s a little tight right now, and you’d probably like to spend it on anything other than boiler service. We get that, but this is one area we advise spending a little extra. Skipping annual maintenance not only means a shorter lifespan for your boiler, but can also pose a severe safety risk to you and your home. Without regular visits from an HVAC expert, your boiler will consume more energy, lose efficiency, and become increasingly at risk for catastrophic failure.

Left untreated, your system can build up excess heat and pressure—becoming a bomb on a twitchy fuse. And, if that safety risk isn’t enough to convince you, there are warranty requirements to consider. Many manufacturers will require proof of annual boiler maintenance before fulfilling their obligations. So, if you don’t want to be left on the hook for an expensive boiler repair, it’s best to give 815.233.1622 a call and join our yearly service program.

The Benefits of Boiler Maintenance in Freeport

We wrote briefly about the dangers of skipping boiler maintenance, but now it’s time to look on the bright side. Having your system regularly checked by the HVAC experts at BoMar Heating & Cooling can:

• Catch Problems Early: What was a loose bolt or rivet can quickly blossom into a repair worth hundreds of dollars. During our check, we’ll check belts and other components for signs of excess wear. Replacing them before they break is the best way to prevent a catastrophic failure.
• Push-Off Boiler Replacement: The low cost of regular boiler maintenance is far lower than what you’ll shell out for a brand-new boiler. By making your system more efficient and relieving excess wear, you can extend your unit’s life by months or years. This will give you ample time to save up for a replacement.
• Safety: Annual boiler maintenance protects your family from the risks associated with a lack of boiler maintenance. This includes a lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure and a lessened chance of complete system failure. Call BoMar Heating & Cooling to get your annual boiler service scheduled and sleep easier.
• Lower Heating Costs: Imagine trying to run with ankle weights. It’d be a lot harder than doing so unencumbered, right? Well, the former scenario is what your boiler deals with if it isn’t regularly cleaned and maintained. Through annual boiler maintenance, you give your boiler what it needs to perform at its best. Our typical customer reaps a savings of 10 percent or more on a yearly basis through this one service.

We’ve looked at what happens if you don’t service your boiler, so let’s look at some of the advantages of performing regular maintenance on your boiler.

What Our Boiler Maintenance Program Covers

There’s a lot involved in making sure your heating system in Freeport runs safely and securely. During your annual boiler maintenance, our HVAC technician will:

• Inspect around and under your boiler for leaking water
• Make sure the area around the boiler is unobstructed
• Check temperature and pressure readings
• Check for error and service codes
• Test pH levels of the water
• Inspect and flush the condensate system
• Examine and clean the burner, flame sensors, and ignitor
• Inspect your vents for signs of blockage, corrosion, and deterioration
• Verify control systems and safety devices are functioning as intended
• Make sure the vent termination is unobstructed

• Listen for unusual noises or vibrations from equipment
• Inspect the combustion air piping and flue gas vent piping
• Inspect the relief valve discharge pipe and boiler relief valve
