Rhode Island Boiler Repair

Even with regular preventive maintenance, steam boilers sometimes need repairs. That's not surprising, considering that many steam boilers in Rhode Island are at least 75 years old. How do you know if your boiler needs more than an annual maintenance appointment? The most common problems are little or no heat, loose bolts or gauges, dead pilot light, water leaking anywhere in the system, new sounds coming from the boiler unit, or very high pressure showing on the gauge.

Regular Boiler Maintenance Prevents Costly Repairs

Of course, it is better to prevent boiler problems than need to fix them. To that end, we strongly recommend an annual maintenance visit. It's akin to going to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned. After it's done, you have both clean teeth and a treatment plan for any problems that were identified. Most people prefer that to getting a bad toothache three months later. Boiler maintenance is the same.

When the techs at Veteran Steam Heat visit your home or business for an annual maintenance call, we:

• Make sure that there is nothing that could burn inside the boiler
• Check ventilation of the boiler and area around it
• Inspect the boiler discharge vent and air intake is unobstructed
• Look at the gas venting system to ensure that no blockages leakages or other problems have occurred
• inspect pilot burner and main burner flames
• Check for leaks in pipes and boiler tank
• Inspect the motor and pump
• Inspect for rust and scale on heating surfaces
• Clean burners to make sure all ports are debris-free
• Clean pilot
• Inspect thermocouple
• Check pump bearings oil level
• Inspect expansion tank for proper mounting and leakage
• Check boiler relief valve
• Inspect the boiler safety valve

The cost of replacing defective parts found during an inspection is usually far less than having to make major repairs on an emergency basis. Remember our ironclad guarantee—if we can't fix a problem, you owe us nothing. It means that you have nothing to lose by giving us a call.
