Maintaining Your Boiler
First check the condition of your vent connection pipe and chimney. Parts of the venting system may have gotten worse over time. The expense of chimney problems can be expensive to replace or repair, which may make it more cost efficient to install new heating equipment that won’t use the existing chimney. Check the physical integrity of the heat exchanger. Boiler heat exchangers may leak water and are easy to spot. Furnace heat exchangers mix combustion gasses with house air when they leak (an important safety reason to have them examined.)
Burning gasses leaking into the house can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. It is suggested that every home has a working carbon monoxide alarm. Properly adjust the controls on the boiler or furnace to provide optimum water and air temperature settings for both efficiency and comfort. If you want to replace or retrofit your existing heating system, Service Pro Plumbing Vancouver, Washington has the best technician perform a combustion-efficiency test.

Signs You Need Water Heater Maintenance
You See Leaks
It can be obvious that you need water heater maintenance when you notice a leak or a big puddle surrounding your water heater. However, sometimes a leak can be not as noticeable, which makes it important to check for leaks around your hot water heater at least once a month. Look for drips, a damp carpet, or even a musty smell surrounding the heater.
The Water Pressure Is Low

Your Water Is Rusty
