Blue Conservation offers full service and support for condensing boilers and combi-boilers within the Southeastern Pennsylvania region. While these systems are robust and designed for years of use, we recommend annual maintenance to ensure that these units are working properly and efficiently, and we want to address any issues or concerns before the situation becomes an emergency.

Most of these condensing boilers and combis do not require extensive maintenance and service. Most often, heating systems are “closed loop,” so there is no need for an annual boiler flush, but we do want to make sure there is no signs of corrosion or leaks that could introduce new water or air into the system.

The annual planned maintenance is performed by a trained technician who cleans and inspects the following components: inlet filter, air filter/screen, flame rod/electrode, intake and exhaust venting, condensate trap, and condensate neutralizer.

During the planned maintenance, the technician is also inspecting all of the parts and components within the boiler cabinet for any signs of corrosion, leaks, and failure. Special attention is directed to the heat exchanger/HEX to make sure this central part, critical to the operational life of the unit, is in good working condition.

When a technician has any concerns regarding the boiler, typically they will contact the manufacturer to review the concerns and determine recommended repairs or additional services. The manufacturer can also advise on warranty status and, if parts are needed, they can send replacement parts. Blue Conservation technicians carry most parts for the units we service.

If the boiler components are showing signs of deterioration, or if buildup of sediment and sludge restricts water flow or causes servo valves and three-way valves to fail, Blue Conservation technicians can replace these failed parts. In addition, by flushing the heating system with cleaners and injecting inhibitors, the boiler system will be protected moving forward.
