Boiler Maintenance Plans & Boiler Service Contracts

 

We are often asked what is included in our annual boiler maintenance (and what is included in our GOLD boiler maintenance plan – which is a discounted boiler service contract) – here is a general outline of the work that is performed during a typical residential boiler maintenance tune-up (please note this list may be modified to fit specific equipment that may require additional service to complete the maintenance):

BOILER MAINTENANCE

Residential Boiler Maintenance includes our 13 Point Boiler Inspection Checklist:

1. Check thermostat calibration
2. Check all electrical connections
3. Check boiler safety controls
4. Check system water pressure
5. Check venting and gas piping
6. Check pump operations
7. Ensure proper system operation
8. Examine quality of installation
9. Inspect area around system
10. Inspect equipment clearances
11. Examine overall condition
12. Document equipment location, make, model & serial number
13. Document age of equipment & any upgrades made
14. NOTE: excludes individual radiators and zone control systems

Residential Annual Boiler Maintenance includes both the 13 Point Boiler Inspection checklist above PLUS our Annual boiler Maintenance Tune-Up Check list:

1. Perform Boiler Inspection during Maintenance (see checklist)

3. Check for proper millivolt output of thermocouple
4. Tighten and clean thermocouple connections
5. Drain older expansion tank (new expansion tanks do not require draining)

8. Remove and clean burners, reset, and adjust air shutters for a proper flame
9. Check burner and pilot alignment
10. Visually inspect inside combustion chamber of high efficiency boiler
