What Can I Do Before I Call a Boiler Repair Company in Grapevine & Dallas, Texas?

Here are some examples of these very basic and common issues in a step-by step-fashion to check before you reach out and call a boiler repair company technician to come and look at the boiler: 

1. Power: Check that the power is going to the unit. This is done by knowing which circuit breaker the boiler is on and checking to see that the breaker is not tripped and is in the “ON” position. Check that the lights are on at the boiler after looking at the breaker to verify that power is at the boiler. Also check the controls to make sure that everything is set as it should be. 

2. Pilot Light: To check the pilot light, it’s best to check with your owner’s manual to see that the pilot light is lit. Always follow the recommended relighting instructions. If in doubt, contact us about the pilot light. 

3. Hot Water: Check hot water at the source to determine if hot water has arrived. You will need to let the water run for a couple of minutes at least. When checking… do this at a lower flow rate or closer to a trickle. If your water is warm, you may need to give it some additional time to see if it develops into hot water. 

If problems still persist and you're not able to obtain hot water, then it is time to call your B.I.M.S., Inc. specialist and schedule a service with our boiler repair company near Grapevine & Dallas, Texas so we can come and take a look.
