One of the most important appliances in your entire home is your boiler.
Since your boiler is responsible for keeping your home and family warm, making sure that it is in good condition and ready to run properly is extremely important.
There are several reasons why you should have a local and experienced boiler and furnace repair company complete and inspection and service on an annual basis before every winter.
Make Sure It’s Working
The first reason why you should have your boiler serviced at the beginning of every winter is to ensure that it is working properly.
During the warmer summer months, there’s a good chance that you did not turn on your boiler at all.
Because of this, it has not had to work at all and could suddenly not be functional.
When you have a technician come out and service your boiler before the start of winter you can be assured that it will be ready to work when it is necessary.
This can also help you to avoid having to pay for an expensive emergency service visit.
Reduced Utility Bills
A professional boiler service will also identify ways to make it run more efficiently.
Your boiler will need to be serviced and properly cleaned to ensure that it is producing heat and supplying it to your home in the most efficient way possible.
When your boiler starts to work more efficiently, it will take far less energy to get your home temperature to its desired level.
Because of this, a boiler service could actually end up saving you money on your utility bills during the colder winter months.
Catch Problems Early
While a boiler in your home can last for a long period of time, they do require certain repairs and replacements to be made over time.
If these repairs are made early, and problems are identified before they grow into more significant issues, you could avoid having to pay more significant repair costs in the future.
Having your boiler serviced on an annual basis will ensure that the technician will be able to identify the concerns and have the problems fixed early on.
Safety
While a boiler is designed to keep your home warm and safe, they do pose some risk to people if the boiler is not working properly.
Every year, thousands of people end up having to go to the emergency room due to carbon monoxide poisoning that is the result of the boiler.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are typically:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Loss of breath
However, if the cause of the problem is not fixed, it could become even more of a serious health hazard.
The boiler service will ensure that your boiler is not leaking carbon monoxide.
If it is leaking carbon monoxide, the technician will be able to fix the leak.
Warranty
A boiler is an appliance that is designed to last for well more than a decade.
When you purchase a new boiler, you will likely be able to obtain a warranty from the manufacturer.
However, the manufacturer will want to make sure that you are doing everything you can to keep it in good condition.
By having an annual service completed on the boiler, you will be able to stay in compliance with the warranty.
If there are more significant repairs necessary, then you may be able to qualify to have them covered by the warranty agreement.
