Many people ask us about how often a boiler really needs to be serviced. Of course, the answer depends on you. You can choose whether or not to schedule annual boiler services—but we strongly recommend you do.
A boiler seems like a sturdy, reliable system. And it is—for the most part. But any system that uses combustion and electrical power, has moving parts, and has the potential to corrode requires routine maintenance. Period.
As local temperatures start to drop, our plumbers want you to know one important thing: taking care of your plumbing system now can help to save you a lot of money and energy next spring.
We know that may seem like a long way off. But would you rather take on a couple of small maintenance tasks now or pay money to replace your outdoor faucets and piping a few months later?
Have you got a water heater that’s 8-20 years old or even older? It might be time to start thinking about a replacement unit.
We know that most people don’t particularly want to go through the process of replacing a water heater if it has not yet broken down. However, you use your water heater every day. And the older it gets, the more it wears down.

The furnace is a fixture in your home you rarely give much thought to. Typically, you care more about the thermostat settings and whether you’re getting the right amount of airflow throughout the home.
But it’s worth it to give some thought to your furnace before it starts to cool off significantly. That gives you more time to enjoy the winter and less time worrying about if and when your furnace will break down. You can save money and your family is safer too!
The water in your home’s faucets may not be as clean as you think.
Despite the treatment process involved when you get your water from the city’s supply, lingering contaminants could still potentially be found in your water supply. Take a look at some of the most common water contaminants found in homes’ supplies. Could they be in your water?
You have a major decision to make. Your boiler is in need of some big repairs, and it’s time to call in professionals. Should you have them make repairs to your boiler, or is it a better idea to replace the whole boiler tank at once?
