Have you been running out of hot water before you even rinse the shampoo out of your hair? Does it seem like it’s always chilly inside your house, even though your thermostat is turned way up? Have you noticed a big increase in your home heating bills? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, it’s a sure sign that something is wrong with your boiler.

A boiler is the heart of your home’s heating system. It produces heat and hot water that you rely on to stay comfortable on a daily basis. But like any appliance in your home, a boiler can breakdown, and when it does, you need to address it as soon as possible. A malfunctioning boiler can lead to more than just discomfort; it can also cause pipes to burst, which can lead to significant property damage and costly repairs. Regular boiler service can help to prevent serious issues; however, even a well-maintained boiler can breakdown.

At Excellent Air Conditioning & Heating Services, Inc., we are committed to maintaining the comfort and safety of the Queens, NY clients we serve. We believe that it’s important for property owners to be aware of the signs of a malfunctioning boiler. Recognizing these signs can not only help you avoid discomfort (like being stuck without heat when the temperature dips), but it can also save you a lot of trouble – and money!

Signs Boiler Repair is an Absolute Must

If you pay close attention, you’ll be able to notice when you’re boiler is on the fritz long before a serious problem arises. If you experience any of the following issues, contact a Elmhurst boiler repair specialist right away.

Water Leaks

Dripping water is a definite sign that something is wrong with your boiler, but the problem can be hard to pinpoint. It may be something as simple as a loose-fitting, or it could be something more severe, such as a faulty pressure valve or corrosion. Whatever the cause, a leaking boiler needs to be addressed immediately. If ignored, severe water damage and even mold growth could occur.

Odd Sounds

Boilers tend to make noise, even when they’re functioning properly. When it clicks on, you’ll notice a light whir; but the sound is so faint that it usually fades off into the background. If, however, you start to notice strange noises, such as whistling, clanging, banging, or knocking, a call to a professional repair company is necessary.  A whistling sound often referred to as ‘kettling’, occurs when minerals and other debris build up in the heat exchanger, which causes the water inside to boil and steam, much like a tea kettle (hence the term ‘kettling’.) Clanging, banging, and knocking sounds could be the result of low water pressure or air trapped in the system.

Unusual Odors

If you smell an unusual odor when your heat kicks on, something definitely is amiss. The scent of something burning could mean that one of the circuits is overheating or that a filter is clogged. If you have a gas boiler and you notice a rotten egg smell, gas could be leaking from the system. Odd smells are a serious cause for concern. If you notice a strange odor, turn off your boiler immediately and contact a repair technician right away.

Lack of Heat

Does it feel like your house is still chilly, even after the boiler has kicked in? Are you constantly turning up the thermostat, but the temperature seems to remain the same? Unreliable heat is an obvious sign that something is wrong with your boiler. Broken airlocks and diaphragms, failing valves, or a worn-out thermostat are just some of the issues that could be preventing your boiler from producing heat.

Little or No Hot Water

A boiler not only heats up your home, but it also heats your water. If you’re running out of hot water faster than usual or your water doesn’t heat up at all, your boiler needs to be inspected. Two common causes of inefficient water heating include a damaged dip tube and sediment buildup.

Rising Energy Bills

If your oil or gas bill seems to be higher than usual, but fuel prices haven’t gone up and you aren’t using more heat, a faulty boiler could be to blame. Damaged boilers need to work harder to produce heat; the harder the appliance works, the more energy it burns through. Higher energy bills are often one of the first signs that a boiler needs to be repaired. Address the problem before it progresses and you’ve got a serious problem on your hands.

These are just a handful of the signs that indicate your boiler is in need of repair. To avoid a major inconvenience and save money, contact a boiler repair expert if you experience these problems or anything else that seems amiss.
