So what parts commonly fail on your Home Boiler System?
The question is not always easy and painless. People may experience leaks coming from valves which is the most common and relatively simple to fix. A licensed plumber can turn off the water supply to your home boiler system, drain it down, and change the valve. Sounds simple right? Well air has entered the lines supplying the heat to your home. Now all bleeder valves must be opened when filling the system back up in order for it to work. This can be quite difficult and tricky at times to release all the air. Bleeder valves may not open properly and will have to be replaced in the process.
Hard water tends to wear on the valves in your home so having adequate Water filtration system is beneficial. In rare instances your relief valve may have gone bad and if it has it has the potential of spraying gallons of hot water into your home. Making sure you have piping off of the relief valve pointing at the ground or leading to a drain is a must in times of emergency. This will prevent your home boiler system from spraying water all over the place and less of a disaster, should this occur.
The other common fault in your home boiler system may involve gauges not working properly. Which is not as big or noticeable of a concern as leaks. They should still be replaced in order to make sure your system is running correctly. Also gauges are prone to leaking just like valves do so not damaging them is a must.
