Your Gas Boiler Maintenance Checklist

Conducting regular maintenance for your gas boiler ensures its reliability, minimizes operating and energy costs, extends equipment life, and improves safety. Luckily, you don’t have to wait for your next professional annual inspections to be sure your boiler’s functioning well. You can use our boiler maintenance checklist as often as you need to ensure your equipment is performing as efficiently as possible.

There are several things you can check on your own to make sure you’re getting the most out of your boiler:

  • Inspect around and under your boiler for leaking water
  • Make sure the area around the boiler is unobstructed
  • Check temperature and pressure readings
  • Check for error and service codes
  • Make sure the vent termination is unobstructed
  • Inspect the combustion air opening for blockages
  • Listen for unusual noises or vibrations from equipment
  • Inspect the combustion air piping and flue gas vent piping
  • Inspect the relief valve discharge pipe and boiler relief valve
  • Inspect the condensate drain line, PVC fittings, drain system, and drain trap
  • Inspect boiler hydronic piping
  • Inspect burner flame

In addition to performing regular inspections yourself, you should have a qualified boiler technician to perform an annual inspection. During this inspection, the technician should:

  • Inspect the heating system and fix any issues
  • Clean and inspect the heat exchanger of the boiler
  • Ensure all boiler connections and wiring are intact
  • Make sure water pH levels are within proper range
  • Inspect condensate system and clean and flush the system as necessary
  • Examine and clean flame sensors, ignitor, and burner assembly
  • Inspect the venting system for deterioration, corrosion, or blockage to ensure all pipe and joint connections are secure
  • Inspect the vent terminations and air inlet to make sure they’re unobstructed and clear
  • Check control settings and test safety controls and operating controls

Your technician should follow up with you after your inspection to report any findings and ensure that your boiler is functioning properly.
