What can I do to extend the life of my boiler and maintain efficiency?

Here are some practical tips you can share:

• Book that annual service — it pays off.

• boiler pressure periodically (many systems have a gauge).

• Bleed radiators if you have them so the system doesn’t get airlocked.

• Remove obstructions from around the boiler and keep the boiler room clean/ventilated.

• Insulate exposed boiler pipes, especially in colder areas of the building.

• Consider upgrading controls or thermostats for better efficiency.
