With warmer weather, we rely on our heating systems less and less. However, you shouldn’t neglect your boiler just because the temperature outside is rising. In fact, getting your boiler serviced or replaced in the spring is one of the best things you can do to keep your heating system up to date and ready for cooler weather. Here are a few reasons you may want to have your boiler serviced this spring:

• You’ll beat the last-minute rush. When you schedule a boiler service in late fall, you’ll be competing with many other customers to schedule an appointment. In the spring, most people put off their boiler repairs, choosing instead to wait until the seasons turn.
• If there are extensive repairs, your heating service won’t be interrupted. If your boiler fails during the winter, you’ll be without your main source of heat. Springtime repairs reduce the chance of leaving you without heat for an extended period of time.
• It’ll save you money. If your boiler is not properly maintained, your heating costs may be higher than they should be and can lead to more expensive repairs down the road. With proper maintenance, your boiler will run more efficiently and last longer without serious problems. Why wait until winter to discover that your boiler’s not up to snuff?
• If you need a full replacement, spring is the time to do it. New boilers are far more efficient than their older counterparts and are covered by a manufacturer warranty, protecting you from any expensive repairs in the fall.
