One of the big advantages that boilers have over forced-air heating systems like furnaces is that they have fewer moving parts and do not accumulate wear and tear as fast. Most boilers will outlast furnaces, and they will usually need fewer repairs during their service lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, boilers still do need repairs from time to time, and not all HVAC companies offer boiler repair in Rochester, NY<\/a>. But we do! We want to help you figure out when you\u2019ve got a boiler problem that requires our assistance to fix. We offer 24-hour emergency boiler service, so please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us when it looks like your family\u2019s comfort is in jeopardy. If your system seems to shut down unexpectedly, check whether it shares any of the common causes for furnace short-cycling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are the top warning signs of boiler troubles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Odd noises from the boiler tank<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A boiler is one of the quietest of all heating systems thanks to its few moving parts. When you hear any sound that\u2019s loud or unusual, it\u2019s often a warning of something wrong. The most common warning sound is rumbling. Don\u2019t worry that your boiler is going to explode; this is extremely unlikely. However, the boiler probably has a layer of sediment trapped along the bottom of its tank. You\u2019ll want professionals to look into the situation right away. Shut off the boiler until they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A boiler shouldn\u2019t leak water for any reason at any spot. If you see water pooling around the boiler or dripping down the tank, then there are probably leaks at connection points. This can warn of corrosion\u2014a serious issue for a boiler\u2014or a rise in pressure. Have boiler leaks looked at immediately. In cases where unexplained water damage appears around your home, watch for signs of hidden leaks<\/a> that could be related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow room heating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When a boiler turns on, it should supply heat quickly to the rooms through the terminal points. If you notice a longer delay from the point the boiler comes on to when rooms start to warm up, it can indicate several problems with the boiler, such as a broken circulator pump or trouble with the manifold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ineffective heating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your boiler turns on, runs, and heats up the rooms \u2026 but it doesn\u2019t seem to heat them up enough, or it\u2019s leaving some rooms colder than others. This can mean trouble with the boiler\u2019s circulation or a problem with the gas flow (for a gas heater) or a failed heating element (for an electric boiler). Don\u2019t try to overcome this by cranking up the thermostat higher\u2014this is a problem that needs to be addressed or it will worsen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rise in heating costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous ways a boiler can malfunction that will not cause any outward signs of trouble except that it has started to become more expensive to heat your house. If you see a rise in your heating costs that you can\u2019t account for with increased use or a change in energy prices, there may be a hidden malfunction in the boiler.\u00a0To prevent costs from creeping up further, try lowering the thermostat<\/a> instead of increasing it, and call for professional repair right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
