I thought that I could make it all winter without having my boiler service, but I was wrong.
Initially, I forgot to have my boiler took care of before the cooler weather & week after week continued to slip by until I decided to just skip it.
Although my boiler is older, I respectfully have it took care of by an Heating and Air Conditioning supplier at least twice per year. I assumed that if I skipped the servicing this one time that I would be fine, but that wasn’t the case. When my boiler wouldn’t turn on, I was forced to call the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier to come service it. I told him that the boiler wasn’t breaking on, & he told me that it could be one of several things. It was possibly a tripped breaker, a awful blower fan, awful coils, for a failed sequencer. I didn’t know what half of those things were, so I told him to look at everything & fix whatever needed fixed. The Heating and Air Conditioning professional was at my house for 45 minutes fixing my boiler & thankfully, he had my boiler running before he left. According to him, it was a faulty blower fan & he was able to fix it that afternoon. The blower fan was “misaligned,” which meant that my boiler was providing heat but it wasn’t making it’s way into my house. This was nice news to me because I was cheerful that I wouldn’t have to pay for current parts. I’m cheerful that the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier was able to come fix my boiler for me, because I wouldn’t have been able to do it on my own.
