Hot Water Baseboard Heating Repair & Service

Hot water baseboard heating repair and services can keep your home warm when it matters most

Hot water baseboard heating (or hydronic heating) is an affordable and energy efficient heating option, but it is not without problems, like any heating solution. For example, hot water baseboard heating is dependent on water passing through your pipes, which means an intrusion of air in the pipes can disrupt the whole system. Similarly, pipes can leak and other mechanical issues can develop over time.

The good news is that many of these problems are relatively simple to address. In fact, you can often stop these problems from occurring in the first place with regular maintenance from a qualified contractor. Air in the pipes can be removed by bleeding the air, and both leaks and other mechanical issues can usually be fixed affordably if you are able to catch them early enough.

Hot water baseboard heating service tips

While you should have a qualified contractor inspect your hot water baseboard heating system regularly, there are some things you can do to make sure your system continues to operate smoothly:

  • Clean: The easiest way to prevent problems is with regular cleaning. Dust and debris can gradually take their toll if ignored. Be especially wary of kids or pets hiding items in the radiator. Dust is not as serious an issue, but it can produce an unpleasant burning smell if left uncleaned for a long time.
  • Remove Obstructions: If you have radiators in a room, you need to make sure they have enough space. There should be about 12 inches between the radiator and any furniture, curtains, or other obstructions. This is especially important with curtains since they can be a fire hazard if they are too close to the radiator.
  • End of Season Maintenance: You want to make sure your heating system is working when the winter comes around, so it’s a good idea to have the system checked during the spring. Ideally, this should be done by a professional, but there are some things you can do yourself, like vacuuming the unit and covering it for the off season.
