Boiler Repair
Many older homes have boilers in their basements. You've probably seen those old, iron systems that lurk imposingly in the darker reaches of the mechanical room. These boilers have long been the central workhorse of our homes for quite some time. They have kept us warm for over 150 years.
A boiler is typically a closed vessel in which water is heated using electrical elements or natural gas. The heated or vaporized water exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including water-based heating, cooking and sanitation. When you take that warm shower or use hot water to wash those dishes sparkly-clean, you have your boiler to thank. This hot water boiler lives behind the scenes – often in the darkest corner of your basement – yet it provides something we are accustomed to having on a daily basis. Life without hot water would be a challenge, to say the least.
