Frequently Asked Questions – Boiler Tune-Up

How do I prolong the life of my boiler?

Schedule annual maintenance with a qualified HVAC professional. Regular cleanings, pH monitoring, and proper water treatment prevent scale, corrosion, and premature failure.

What’s included in a boiler tune-up from Ray’s Heating & Air?

We inspect and clean burners, heat exchangers, and pilot lights. We test carbon monoxide levels, pressure controls, water levels, and recommend water treatment adjustments as needed.

Can a boiler tune-up lower my utility bills?

Yes. A well-maintained boiler system uses less energy to heat your home, reducing utility bills by up to 20 percent and extending system lifespan.

Is a boiler tune-up different from a furnace tune-up?

Yes. Boilers use hot water or steam to distribute heat, while furnaces rely on a forced air system. Each requires different components to be serviced and tested.

How often should I schedule a boiler tune-up?

At least once a year—preferably in the fall—before heavy winter usage begins. Regular tune-ups ensure safety and maximum efficiency.
