Properly maintaining the boiler system (boiler maintenance) in your home is extremely important and can help prolong the need for a complete boiler replacement. Most boilers can be very complicated and very challenging to work on. Routine Boiler Maintenance is the key to keep big repairs away from your valuable boiler investment. Regular inspection and upkeep of your boiler equipment has benefits for you, your family, and your home.

Maintenance service on your boiler system can keep it running smoothly and allow you to stay comfortable while extending the life of your boiler system. We have checks that go from top to bottom on the radiant heating and boiler system in your home to make sure that it is running in top shape.

The best way to save money with a boiler is with routine scheduled maintenance. The second-best way to is to set your boiler system up with zone controls. When you are installing a new boiler, it is one of the best ways to save money by efficiently running your heating and cooling system. When you install a zone system and the boiler is running in just one zone, it is saving energy in all the other zones.

Both hot water and steam boilers need to be checked at the very least, annually. Boilers generate steam and heat water under intense pressure. Under normal circumstances, steam is relived through a pressure valve. However, if the pressure relief valve has not been maintained, the internal pressure within the boiler can be released instantly and cause an explosion of metal and release of steam.

Boilers require consistent inspection of safety devices, care of combustion areas, leaks, and all other mechanical functions. Areas around the boiler need to be cleaned and should not have items stored around it. Accumulation of debris and flammable material should be cleaned frequently.

Boiler maintenance and repairs should be done by only an authorized boiler repair technician like the ones on staff at Absolute Electrical Heating and Air. We offer the best in boiler maintenance, repair, and installation for residents of Denver and the surrounding communities.
