If a boiler is the main source of heat for your home, it’s very important that you keep it in good repair. Otherwise, you’ll see drops in efficiency, which will raise your heating costs, and, eventually, the breakdown of your boiler.

Boilers are a cost effective and highly efficient way to heat a home. Most modern homes do not have boilers. But those that do can have them for several years if they’re kept in good repair and regularly maintained. Calling a Big Bear boiler repair specialist for regular tune-ups is the best way to guarantee the longest lifespan of your boiler.
Boiler Types
There are two main types of boilers: hot water boilers and steam boilers. Steam boilers are the more complicated of the two, and they’re much more rare. Most steam boilers have been converted to hot water boilers. Steam boilers heat water until it evaporates, then send the steam up through pipes and out to radiators, which are then able to produce heat. When the steam cools enough to become a liquid again, it’s sent back to the boiler, where the process starts over. Hot water boilers work similarly, but heat the water to about 160° F before sending it to your boilers, instead of waiting for it to evaporate. This makes for a quicker, more efficient heating process.
Our Big Bear boiler repair specialists are familiar and have worked with every type and brand of boiler. We have more experience and expertise than any other HVAC company in the area.
