Tuning up your oil or gas-fired hot water boiler each fall or winter should be an automatic process scheduled by your burner or boiler maintenance professional from Southbury.
The need for modernized heating equipment for hydronic gas water boilers has become a necessity in recent years. The most used equipment for performing this task are hot water or steam boilers. The modern variants of boilers are made of steel, cast iron cores or alloy steel, containing coils through which the heat transfer occurs. When the water is heated, the salts of hardness (calcium and magnesium) form insoluble calcium and magnesium carbonates, or limestone for short. This reaction is most likely to take place in the hottest part of the system, usually the heat transfer surface, so this is why regular boiler cleaning and oil burner maintenance sessions are required.
With time, along with the deposit of limestone, the efficiency of the device is decreased and the consumption of fuel or electricity increases. Another problem that can occur with gas-fired boilers in Southbury is where water has not been used for a long time and is contaminated with microorganisms, the most frequent symptom being the appearance of a foul odor when consuming stored water. In this situation, it is necessary to sanitize the entire hydronic heating system. Numerous oil boiler cleaning or gas boiler cleaning services in Southbury and South Britain are available and can be requested online at Southbury Plumbing & Heating, LLC's website.
The thermostat is the device that keeps the water in the boiler at the set temperature. To save resources and increase the operating life of your Southbury boiler, we recommend setting hot water between 30 and 50 degrees C, and to prevent the development of bacteria, you can raise the temperature in the boiler to 60 degrees C once a week. If the thermostat does not work properly, then you will notice that the electrical resistance monitor does not start to heat the water. In this case, you must contact a trusted and experienced boiler maintenance and cleaning plumber located in Southbury CT to fix the problem.
New generation oil-fired hot water boilers have a high degree of automation with a computerized temperature control system, which can be programmed with the help of a remote control and have intelligent functions that memorize how you use water – the quantity and temperature at which it has to be heated.
As with any other electrical equipment, fluctuations in electrical voltage endanger its proper functioning. The risk is higher for boilers connected to a duplex electrical outlet. If you know that you are in an area where power is turned off on a regular basis or there are such variations, Southbury Plumbing & Heating, LLC recommends that you purchase a voltage stabilizer to deal with the issue.
This device is designed for any type of electrical appliance or heating system in your home; therefore it will protect any device that requires a continuous flow of electricity. Another thing to worry about in the functioning of your gas-fired boiler is the continuous loss of water or water pressure. Even the government says how important high-efficiency boiler tune ups and seasonal maintenance of your burner unit is.
