Get your Boiler ready for cold weather

Get Ready! The time is fast approaching when you will need to have your boilers back on-line. Yes, winter is coming and so are the demands placed upon your boilers. 

To make sure you are operating safely and at peak efficiency we recommend that you, or a qualified boiler service technician, open your boiler for an inspection. Clean both the fireside and waterside. If you haven't had your boiler inspector out, call him so that he can take a look. 

When you reassemble your boiler use new gaskets. Also clean and inspect your low water cutoff. Check all safety devices, including a pop test on the safety relief valves, flame safeguard checks and a leak test on safety shut-off valves.
