Boilers are among the most costly pieces of machinery on your property. They play a vital role in regulating temperature, especially during winter. A boiler shutdown can incur expenses far beyond immediate repairs or replacements, impacting your daily routine and work schedule. Proper boiler maintenance, including understanding and repairing leaks, is essential to avoiding such disruptions and ensuring optimal performance.

Boilers inevitably begin to lose efficiency as you use them. Inefficient boilers increase electrical, gas, and maintenance costs. One of the leading causes of decreased boiler performance is improper water treatment. Treatment is an integral part of any boiler maintenance protocol. Using a water softener as part of your maintenance plan can keep your boiler in good working condition.

Many public water supplies and wells contain a certain amount of calcium and magnesium, which can cause hard water in homes if the concentration is high. After using hard water frequently, these minerals can combine to create limescale in plumbing pipes, faucets, valves, electric and gas water heaters, and kitchen appliances. This limescale can cause flow restriction as well as inefficiency of appliances. Homeowners should be aware of hard water and aim to prevent limescale build up.
