Can you bath with cold water in this freezing
weather? No, Right? A boiler perhaps in one of the most important appliances of your home. Without a boiler, you
and your house would be freezing and trust us, you will be miserable. It is
very important to provide the best of maintenance for the boiler. Because of
busy schedules and laziness, we sometimes forget to get the boiler inspected
regularly. Here is a list of mistakes to avoid for boiler repair and
maintenance.
· Not
Getting Yearly Inspection: Boilers need an inspection
at least once a year. Check for leaking
pipes, dirty and worn out parts. The boilers become less effective as the
combustion particles settle over the parts of the boiler and hinder the working
process. Smart Gas Solutions offers services of maintenance and boiler repair in Edinburgh at the best
prices. The staff is experienced and knowledgeable
and will provide you with timely services.
· Not
sealing Air leaks: Unsealed air leaks can reduce the efficiency of the boiler
by up to 30%. If you see any drafts
coming out of the vent when the windows and doors are shut, you should
definitely check for air leaks and get them sealed.
·
Keeping
the home too hot or too cold: It is advisable to turn off the thermostat before
turning in for the night. This helps save a lot of energy. If there is a
difference of eight degrees Fahrenheit or more between the day and night
temperature of your home then the boiler will work extra hard. The excessive
work can cause wear and tear in the boiler.
·
Fuel run
out: If you have oil or propane running the boiler, then you need to make sure
that it never runs out. Fuel runout can
cause clogged filters and unwanted air entering the pipes. These problems can rip
you off your pocket. Therefore, keep a check on the fuel level in the tank.
·
Not
changing air filters: The air filters, if not changed, can increase the utility
costs and keep the furnace from working effectively. A dirty air filter is bad
for the HVAC system. It can also cause various problems like allergies, asthma,
and respiratory conditions. Keep it clean to let the air keep moving.
