How Much Is Boiler Maintenance?
What you can expect to lay out for service
If you think about it, we book quite a few services for quite a variety of things. We make appointments for haircuts, we book servicing appointments for our cars and we can even pay fees to get products delivered straight to our doors. If you are anything like us, you try to have an idea of what these services are going to cost you before it’s time to actually pay. This same mindset probably goes for boiler maintenance if your southeastern Massachusetts home has a boiler – you want an estimate of what a maintenance appointment is going to add up to before a professional shows up at your door for servicing.
The cost of boiler maintenance
A maintenance appointment on a boiler that has been pretty well maintained and taken care of will typically cost a homeowner between about $150 to $500.
An exact cost and price depends on a few different factors, including:
- The type of boiler that is in your home
- If any part of your boiler needs to be repaired and, if so, the cost of any necessary replacement parts
- How old the boiler in your home is
- Your boiler’s make and model
- If you are just looking for standard maintenance or more of a full service job
Why boiler maintenance is important
Sure, shelling out $500 on a yearly basis to take care of a piece of machinery in your home may not be your most favorite thing to do, but booking professional annual maintenance for your boiler is a very important part of being a homeowner for a few different reasons. Annual boiler maintenance:
- Ensures that your home heating system is working properly and efficiently and gives you piece of mind that it will keep you warm all winter long.
- Can catch early warning signs of a carbon monoxide problem, which helps keep you and everyone in your home safe and sound.
- Reduces what you spend on energy bills considering that, without routine maintenance, a boiler loses about 5% of its efficiency a year and has to work harder and use more energy to accomplish its job.
- Helps you catch small things that need to be repaired before they turn into big and costly problems that leave you with no alternative other than needing a full heating system replacement.
Do not wait until you notice an issue (this can include a strange noise, a leak, frozen pipes, a lack of heat or hot water in your home or a malfunctioning pilot light) to bring in a professional to take a look at your boiler. Bring in a professional service like W.H. Riley & Son today!
