For this problem, you’d need to talk to an HVAC pro. If you have a gas heating system (most do) this should be considered an urgent job as natural gas could be leaking in your home.

Yes, cleaning a boiler is essential for its efficient and safe operation. Over time, boilers can accumulate dirt, rust, sediment, and mineral deposits, reducing efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and causing potential breakdowns. Cleaning involves removing these deposits from various components like heat exchangers, burners, and pipes. Neglecting cleaning can also lead to corrosion and decreased life span. Regular, yearly maintenance, including cleaning, ensures optimal performance, lower energy bills, and a safer heating system. It's best to consult the boiler's manual or hire a professional technician for cleaning to ensure the job is done right.
