How Do Boilers Work?
Boilers are known for their reliability and ability to maintain a steady, comfortable indoor temperature.
Fueled by natural gas or propane, they use a closed-loop system to heat and distribute water. The hot water moves through pipes to baseboards or radiators throughout a home.

Boiler Maintenance
Ensure optimal boiler performance and longevity with preventative tune-ups. Heating maintenance enhances the efficiency, reliability, and safety of your boiler.
Common boiler maintenance tasks include:
- Checking for leaks: Addressing leaks promptly can prevent water damage and system inefficiencies.
- Cleaning the burner and heat exchanger: Regular cleaning ensures optimal combustion and heat transfer.
- Analyzing the flue: Adjustments may be needed to optimize fuel efficiency and minimize emissions.
- Inspecting the pressure relief valve: This valve is crucial for releasing excess pressure and preventing damage to the boiler.
- Bleeding radiators: If your system uses radiators, bleeding them periodically releases trapped air, improving water circulation and heat distribution.
- Testing safety controls: We’ll verify the operation of safety controls, such as the pressure relief valve, high-limit control, and flame safeguard controls.
- Checking thermostat calibration: We’ll ensure the thermostat is calibrated correctly to maintain accurate temperature control.
- Inspecting the pilot light: If your boiler has a pilot light, we’ll ensure the flame is steady and blue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a boiler and a furnace?
A boiler heats water that is then distributed through radiators or baseboards.
A furnace generates warm air, which is then circulated through air ducts.
What are boiler efficiency ratings?
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how efficiently a boiler converts energy into heat for your home.
For example, an AFUE of 90% indicates that 90% of the fuel’s energy warms your home, while the remaining 10% is lost through combustion.
- Older, low-efficiency boilers have 56% to 70% AFUE.
- Mid-efficiency boilers have 81% to 83% AFUE.
- High-efficiency boilers have 90% to 98.5% AFUE.
What is boiler kettling, and how do I stop it?
Boiler kettling is the sound of whistling, popping, and bubbling sounds from an older boiler.
This problem often results from leaks, overheating, and limescale buildup inside the boiler.
