Get Your Boiler Winter Ready

Simple steps to help ensure safe, reliable heat all season long

When the temperatures drop and boilers start firing up for the season, it’s the perfect time to make sure your heating system is ready for the months ahead. A well-maintained boiler not only keeps your home comfortable but also helps ensure efficient performance and long-term reliability.

Here’s a simple checklist to help get your boiler winter ready:

  • Check system pressure – Make sure your boiler pressure is within the recommended range.
  • Watch for leaks – Look around valves, pumps, and radiators for any signs of water.
  • Inspect the flue gas venting system – Check for blockages, leakage at joints, or deterioration in the piping.
  • Test the thermostat – Confirm it’s working properly and set to the right temperature.
  • Inspect the carbon monoxide detector – Replace the batteries and make sure it’s functioning.
  • Schedule annual maintenance – Have a qualified pro inspect and service the system.

If you’re unsure about any of these inspection steps, it’s always best to work with a certified heating professional. You can find experienced Weil-McLain pros using our Contractor Locator, exclusively showing our Advantage members who know our products best.

Work with a professional who understands your specific boiler model and can identify issues before they turn into costly repairs. Regular inspection and maintenance not only improve performance but also help prevent unexpected breakdowns during the coldest days of winter.
