Keep Boiling…We Have a Ways to Go.

Winter has a long way to go and your home’s boiler needs to be ready for the coldest weather of the season. Here is why you have a boiler…it delivers hot water through pipes and under floors to quickly heat up a room and the objects in it, making it one of the most effective as well as efficient means of home heating.

Here are some signs to look for when your home’s boiler is beginning to fail –

1.  When it starts leaking it almost certainly needs to be replaced.

2.  You have had it repaired several times already.

3.  It uses more and more fuel each month.

4.  How old is it?

Never fear…A River City Plumbing is here! They are Coeur d’Alene and Spokane’s boiler replacement professionals.

Regular Water Heaters are NOT Invincible.

They are certainly reliable and hard-working, but not immortal. How old is your home’s water heater? It really does not matter where you live, the older your home’s water heater is the more likely it is to break down. As a general rule, a tank style water heater will last, on average, 8 to 12 years. That is just the way it is!

Some other clues that your water heater is about to bite the dust are –

1.  Rust and corrosion.

2.  Its drain valve is giving out…listen for a popping sound when the burner ignites.

3.  Leaking…drip, drip, drip.

4.  Hot water becomes “cool” water.

How long have you lived in your Coeur d'Alene or Spokane area home? Is your water heater original equipment? Why not call A River City Plumbing to have your water heater inspected and perhaps replaced?
