Heating Tune Up Service in the Aiken / Augusta Metro

The 24-point precision tune-up for gas boilers is as follows:

1. Cycle boiler from thermostat to verify unit is functioning
2. Inspect system for general problems (water leakage, burnt wires, physical damage)
3. Verify appropriate supply of combustion air to boiler system
4. Inspect boiler circuits for presence of air in piping
5. Check for accumulation of dirt or rust on vent piping or draft hood. Also verify there are no holes, sagging of pipe, or signs of damage
6. Ensure flue is sealed at chimney base
7. Check boiler pressurization and add or remove pressure if needed
8. Check condition and operation of all air elimination devices
9. Check and test boiler high limit aquastat control & settings
10. Drain expansion test (if applicable)
11. Inspect expansion tanks for evidence of leakage or air infiltration
12. If expansion tank is “diaphragm” type, check for proper pressurization
13. Ensure that the safety relief valve pipe is 6” above the floor and that there are no leaks present
14. Check and document flue draft readings using a draft meter
15. Test low water cut-off devices for proper operation (if applicable)
16. Test operation of any and all safety devices
17. Complete a comprehensive combustion analysis and document all readings
18. Check for appropriate gas pressure both from the meter and to the manifold
19. Verify there are no gas leaks on piping with a leak detection solution and/or electronic leak detector
20. Verify proper operation of all circulator pumps, zone valves, and relays
21. Check and inspect flame ignition and proving circuits
22. Oil/lubricate motors or pumps (if applicable)
23. Test for proper voltage to the boiler
24. Verify integrity of all wiring/electrical connections
