With frigid temperatures already showing up in many sections of the country, it's not a moment too soon to be certain you're heating system is in perfect shape for the coming cold. At this very moment, plumbers are receiving lots of calls from homeowners who are attempting to do just that. According to third generation Baltimore plumber Byron Graham of Baltimore, Md., the best time to do heating system maintenance is at the conclusion of the cold weather. But not all householders remember to get their maintenance then, so the next best option is to have a plumber check out the boiler before or while turning it on for the winter season. Both hot water and steam heating depend on a boiler to produce heat for the house. After a long cold winter, there are many things that can go wrong with the boiler. It might be something peripheral like a clogged flue stack. These can sometimes be cleaned by your plumber, but at times he will need to call in professional chimney cleaners. The burner has to be checked as well. After being in use all winter the burner is liable to contain debris. Your plumber will get rid of the debris, ensuring safe dependable start-ups all winter. Other important elements of boiler maintenance include inspecting for a crack in the boiler, and checking the thermostat. If you have zoned heating, that is heating pipe cut off valves that determine the amount of flow to different zones in your house, your plumber will check out the heat production in each room to make sure they are in working order. Sometimes, he will have to clean the valves, and rarely a valve will have to be replaced. Plumbers are adamant about the fact that getting your heating system maintained is just like car maintenance. If you neglect to check your oil, this can shorten the life of your motor. If you fail to inflate your tires to the proper specified pressure, your tires wear out. Plumbing maintenance is just the same. Experienced plumbers are quick to point out that people who fail to get annual heating system maintenance are more likely to experience a heating system failure in the winter. So if you forgot to get heating system maintenance in the spring, or if you did but would still like an experienced plumber to do your boiler start up, then call a plumber now before the really frigid weather catches you by surprise.
