What's Included in Our Boiler Maintenance Service
Our comprehensive boiler maintenance tune-up covers all critical components of your heating system:
- Visual Inspection: We thoroughly inspect your boiler, heat exchanger, flue pipes, connections, and surrounding area for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.

- Burner Cleaning & Adjustment: Burners are cleaned and adjusted for proper flame pattern and maximum efficiency.
- Heat Exchanger Inspection: We check for cracks or damage in the heat exchanger, which can be a source of carbon monoxide leaks.
- Pressure & Temperature Check: We verify that system pressure and operating temperatures are within the correct and safe ranges.
- Safety Controls Testing: All safety controls, including pressure relief valves and limit switches, are tested to ensure proper operation.
- Flue & Venting Inspection: We inspect flue pipes and venting systems for blockages, deterioration, or improper draft conditions.
- Circulator Pump Inspection: The circulator pump is inspected for proper operation to ensure even heat distribution throughout the system.
- System Bleed & Flush (if needed): We bleed air from radiators and flush the system if sediment buildup or circulation issues are detected.
- Thermostat Calibration: We verify your thermostat is accurately reading and controlling your system temperature.
Why Regular Boiler Maintenance Matters
Annual maintenance checks for carbon monoxide leaks, faulty controls, and other safety hazards before they become dangerous.
A properly maintained boiler runs at peak efficiency, consuming less fuel and keeping your heating costs down.
Regular maintenance can add years to your boiler's operational life, delaying costly replacement.
Catching small issues during routine service prevents them from becoming expensive emergency repairs mid-winter.
Residential & Commercial Boiler Maintenance Plans
We offer flexible maintenance plans for both homeowners and commercial property managers, designed to keep your heating systems running safely and efficiently all year long. Our plans include annual inspections, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs and parts.
For commercial properties — including apartment buildings, offices, schools, and retail spaces — our commercial boiler maintenance plans provide comprehensive annual servicing, documentation for building inspections, and priority emergency support. We understand that commercial boiler failures impact not just comfort but your tenants and business operations, so we treat every maintenance visit with the utmost care and thoroughness.
