While there could be many problems affecting your boiler\u2019s performance, there are a few common reasons your boiler is not heating your home enough. Call the Pittsburgh\u00a0heating specialists<\/a> at Boehmer Heating & Cooling<\/a> for all your boiler needs. If you’re deciding whether to<\/span> repair or replace your boiler system<\/span><\/a>, consider reading this helpful guide on the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s sediment build-up inside the boiler tank, this could affect the performance. That\u2019s why it is important to have a professional flush your tank during routine tune-ups so that it prevents decreased water levels, which affects how well the boiler heats your home or hot water. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge as well so that you know when the water levels are abnormally low. Consult your owner\u2019s manual if you aren\u2019t sure how to read the pressure gauge. Call a repair technician if the readings are not normal. This could prevent a safety issue or damage to the system.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s too much air in the lines feeding the radiators, this could also affect performance. If you hear hissing noises, there could be too much air inside the lines. In gas boilers, a bad thermocouple sensor is another issue that can cause low heating output. This sensor measures the gas flow, so if it is broken, then you won\u2019t be getting enough heat. Call for repairs if you think this may be the issue.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a leaking boiler tank will definitely cause performance problems since a water leak can affect the temperatures of the water. Signs of corrosion or rust on your tank should be looked at by a boiler repair technician. Rust on your boiler tank<\/span><\/a> is a key indicator that repairs might be necessary, as discussed in this article about boiler rust issues.<\/span><\/p>\n
