Servicing the Boiler in Your Home or Office Westhampton Beach NY

Servicing your boiler is probably the most important thing you can do for your home or your business. Preventative maintenance is the key to staying ahead of the cold weather. If you are not servicing your boiler annually then you may be setting yourself up for emergency repairs and they would most likely be occurring during the coldest times. You won’t be aware of any issues until you start using your boiler more frequently and that is usually once the colder months arrive. Temperatures are known to hit below zero in Nassau and Suffolk County so it is certainly in your best interest to keep ahead of the cold. Additionally, depending on the size of the home or office you are heating, servicing your unit regularly is important to ensure you have the right size unit in addition to it being in the right condition. If you have a large space and the wrong size unit it is probably working overtime and would be prone to breaking down more often. KS Mechanical Services is here to help with this.

When a Boiler Stops Working

There are a number of reasons a boiler may stop working. The boiler pressure may be too low or too high. This fluctuation in pressure could be caused by water escaping somewhere in the system due to a possible leak, or a failure of the expansion valve. Other reasons why your gas boiler may need repair could include (but not be limited to) a power cut or electrical issue, a gas supply issue, a faulty pilot light, a frozen condensate pipe, a faulty internal component or a combination of issues.

What to Look Out For

While you should be servicing your boiler once a year, there are some important signs to look out for that would indicate an absolutely necessary service call. If the flame is flickering in an irregular pattern or if the flame is yellow that is an indication to call for a servicing. This usually means that your burner is not receiving enough air for complete combustion and must be looked at. If the pilot light is going out often then that may be an issue with the thermocouple. This is concerning because while the flame may be out, the fuel is still being supplied. If there are new stains or smoke marks on the unit or on anything nearby the unit this is an indication that the unit could be misfiring when it starts back up and cause not only damage to items near the unit from the puffback but be an issue with the proper functioning overall. If the boiler overheats or refills regularly this could be a sign of the malfunctioning of the safety features, or if the water pressure drops there is potentially a leak somewhere. If this occurs be ready to contact KS Mechanical Services today so the leaks won’t cause any further damages to your home.

When a Boiler Makes Noise

If you hear a loud banging coming from your utility closet don’t call Ghostbusters! It is probably the result of one of a few things. You may have a faulty thermostator a build-up of debris on the boiler’s heat exchanger. If there is in fact a build-up of debris, you will need KS Mechanical Services in VarLocationName NY to carry out a power flush. Other causes may be but not limited to limescale build up, overheating, air blockage or insufficient water flow or pressure.

When a Boiler Leaks

A boiler is constantly circulating water, so when there is a leak it could be a result of a number of different issues and also cause a new set of issues as well. Corrosion is a common cause of water leakage as any time water and metal meet this is certainly an outcome. When there are pressure issues, the valve to relieve that pressure will leak water in an attempt to relieve the pressure that could be a result of calcite or limestone buildup. A few other factors may include damaged seals, advanced age, defects or poor initial installation.

When to Call for Service

Some information about Westhampton Beach, NY

Westhampton Beach is an incorporated village in the Town of Southampton, in Suffolk County, on the South Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,721.

The village of Westhampton Beach was incorporated in 1928. In 1938, almost all summer homes on its barrier beach were obliterated by a hurricane resulting in twenty-nine local deaths.

Like most of the shoreline of southern Long Island, the beach at Westhampton Beach was eroding shoreward. This became a political issue in the 1960s. The project to protect the beaches in the area from further erosion was started by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1966, but was only partially completed because of the failure to secure funds from the state and local government. In addition the project design was seriously flawed. As a result, there was increased erosion at the beaches in Westhampton Beach while, up current, the beaches actually grew. During the late 1970s and through the 1980s, beach homes were washed away with every severe storm (nor’easter) that hit the coast. It was only after the nor’easter of November 1992 destroyed over eighty homes, that the Army Corps of Engineers began renewed repair efforts. In the mid-1990s, fifteen historic houses were relocated by the Army Corps of Engineers. The homes were moved off the beach and out of harm’s way, at least for a while, but the beach is still eroding and addition damage is incurred with every storm. Additional work was required after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
