Many homes use water boiler systems for heating purposes. They can be efficient to operate. However, they can be difficult to maintain and operate.
How Water Boilers Work
Water boilers are heating systems that consist of a network of pipes and many componants. Pipes circulate water to a system of radiators, baseboards and or use the pipes as the heat transfer. The radiators, baseboards and pipes are placed in various rooms and provide heat. There are controls or gauges, such as the pressure regulator, that allow you to check the water temperature and the pressure. A typical boiler system has an expansion tank that absorbs the expansion of the water.
Steam boiler systems and gas boilers are also used in residential homes. Steam boilers can be very efficient to use. They use a system that condenses water by applying heat energy. The heat energy turns the water into steam that is used to heat the area.
There are hundreds of models of gas LP, or oil boilers. One method of gas boiler systems use gas fuel to heat water that is piped to baseboard heaters, radiators or use the crosslinked O2 barrier piping for heat transfer.
Water Boiler Problems
Some common water boiler problems are pipes making a clanging noise, air locks, some radiators producing heat with poor heat production, and leaks.
There are steps that can be taken in order to identify potential problems. These steps involve raising the thermostat, and checking various parts of the system (ie switches, fuses, circuit breaker, water level, and burner’s safety controls).
Performing routine boiler maintenance can reduce the potential for the development of water boiler problems. Sometimes though, systems will wear out even if they have been properly maintained. If this happens, it may be time to think about replacing componants or complete boiler replacement options.
Homeowners who do not have the technical knowledge necessary to carry out routine maintenance and trouble shooting activities are to be performed by licensed professionals.
A professional can check for water pressure problems by checking the water pressure and other valves. Other system components and operations that they can check include the on / off switch, thermostats, switching relays, zone valves, low pressure cut out, high pressure cut out, condensate return, condensate pump, air separator, draft inducer motor, ignition module, gas valve, flame rectification, gas pressure regulation, and many more. If they find anything wrong with the system, they have the ability to provide boiler repair services.
