When it comes to in-home heating, boilers are reliable — they usually don’t need to be replaced for around fifteen years after installation. Like any home appliance, though, they can malfunction and require maintenance. If you begin to notice uneven or insufficient heating in your home, bring in an HVAC contractor to diagnose the problem before it worsens. The experts at Pointon Heating & Air Conditioning in Baraboo and Portage, Wisconsin often see these three boiler problems.

Pressure Loss

In a central heating system, electric pumps generate pressure that moves heated water from the boiler to your radiators, creating thermal energy that warms the air. If your home is failing to heat properly, it might be caused by an insufficient flow of hot water. Your system might be suffering from pressure leaks or issues with the pressure relief valve — as this might happen in places you can’t see, it definitely calls for professional boiler repair.

Thermostat Issues

HVAC ContractorTo regulate temperature, your thermostat must be able to sense the temperature and shut off the boiler. If either of these mechanisms stop working properly, your house might end up ineffectively heated. Always monitor your thermostat if you suspect a heating issue. An HVAC contractor should be able to take care of the problem in a flash.

Incorrect Boiler Size

Sometimes boiler repair isn’t the solution. For a proper boiler installation, the boiler must be matched precisely to the home — this should only be handled by a qualified HVAC contractor. If your boiler is too small, it’ll never be able to heat your home properly, no matter how much you invest in repairs.
