Boiler Tips & Information
There are several different configurations and styles of boilers and boiler systems. Some examples are:
* Hot water (hydronic)
* Steam
* Gravity (no pumps)

Most residential boilers here in Colorado Springs are of the gas fired hot water type using a zoned baseboard distribution system. Steam boilers are still used in some of the older homes.
* Boilers should be periodically drained, flushed, refilled and bled (air removal).
* Some pumps and motors require oiling at regular intervals.
* Burners should be cleaned and checked for proper combustion and efficiency.
* Controls need to be checked for correct temperature settings and safety.
* Vents should be checked for proper operation and safe conditions.
