Boiler Repair questions, answered by experts

Although boilers can last 15 to 20 years when maintained properly, you may run into some common problems like oil burners and transformers malfunctioning; cracks in the heat exchanger; clogs in the heating oil pump, burner nozzles, or fuel pipes; loose wiring connections; and damaged valves. Many of these problems can be caught early on during annual maintenance services. You might also have an issue with your fuel source if you have a gas or oil boiler. Make sure your other gas appliances are working or that you have oil in your tank.

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.

Probably not. Moving a boiler to a new location is a very different prospect from replacing it in the same spot, and significantly more expensive. Plus, boilers are typically carefully positioned in proximity to pipes and radiators when installed. Homeowners may want to move boilers to free up space, prevent freezing problems that have happened in winter, or solve a noise issue—but it’s a much more costly proposition.

The best time to buy home heating oil is in the summer when the demand is lowest, as the prices are usually lower. However, waiting until the summer to buy is often unavoidable unless you install a separate storage tank. If you have the space for a second tank, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 for the oil tank replacement or installation, depending on the capacity and location. You could quickly recuperate these costs, though, by stocking up on heating oil in the summer and avoiding deliveries in the winter when prices are highest.

When it comes to bleeding a radiator, the goal is to let out trapped air rather than letting out the water. Naturally, some water will dribble out when you open the valve to let out the air. But you don’t want a lot of water to leak out. Just leave the valve open long enough that the hissing noise stops, meaning the air has escaped, and just a dribble of water comes out of the radiator.
