It is winter in Canada, which means we are here to make sure you and your home are fully prepared to stay warm this season. Today’s Checklist is all about your hot water boiler.<\/p>\n
To keep your hot water boiler up to par, have your heating unit inspected every year, typically recommended in the fall, for any necessary repairs. An inspection can involve cleaning the vents, tightening fittings and inspecting gas lines.<\/p>\n
Another way to maintain your\u00a0boiler heating system\u00a0in the winter is by keeping the air filters of the unit clean and free of anything that can block the heat. Dirt buildup can overheat the system and prevent efficient operation. Check your filter monthly before it has the chance restrict your\u00a0heat during the coldest months of the year.<\/p>\n
Be sure that you do not close your boiler heating system\u2019s registers. Vents, also called registers, should not be closed. This can help divert heat to some rooms but not all. It’s recommended that registers should not be opened more than 20 percent. If all of your\u00a0registers are closed, you may notice a significant change in temperature during the winter months. Your boiler will not be able to maintain the heat evenly if your registers are not properly set.<\/p>\n
Check which boiler system you have, then find the right\u00a0heating professional\u00a0to help you maintain your boiler throughout the winter season. Regular maintenance can keep the cold outside and also keep you and your family safe inside.
