BOILER MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is critical to make sure your boiler is reliable and safe. There are many things that make a boiler more complicated than a traditional HVAC system. Hot water, or steam under pressure can be extremely dangerous if not maintained properly. Boiler water quality can eat through pipes from the inside out if the water quality is not maintained. Often there are multiple pumps and or valves to maintain.
If you have a boiler in your home, do not let it go another year without proper maintenance and testing. This is the best way to ensure longevity, reliability and safety.
How do I know if I need Boiler Repair or Replacement?
Just like any other heating system, it can be difficult to know when exactly to replace your boiler. Here are a few tips that will help you make that decision:
- Is it getting old? With proper maintenance your boiler can last 20 years or longer. If it’s getting close to this age, it’s time to think about replacing it, especially if it’s unreliable.
- Does it take a long time to heat up? If your boiler is taking a lot longer to reach your set temperature, or struggles when it is really cold, call us to see if it can be fixed with a simple tune up. If there is more to it, we will explain all of your options.
- Is it making strange noises? Sounds like rumbling and rattling are a sign that’s something off. They can be tied to sediment buildup, which makes your boiler less efficient. Or they can be caused by a circulating pump that isn’t working right. Repair or replacement will depend on the extent of the problem and how costly it is to fix. Generally, you won’t want to spend more than half the cost of a new boiler on repairs.
- Does it smell weird? Like odd sounds, weird smells can be a sign of a problems. If something doesn’t smell right, turn your boiler off and call us right away. Again, repair or replacement will depend on how serious the issue is and the cost to fix it.
- Is it leaking? Many things can cause a leaky boiler, including water quality, rusty pipes, loose joints or damaged seals. Like we mentioned earlier, repair or replacement will depend on complexity and cost.
BENEFITS OF BOILER INSTALLATION
Getting a new boiler provides a wealth of benefits. Here are just a few of them:
- Higher efficiency. New ENERGY STAR®-certified boilers are incredibly energy efficient. They’re rated at 95% AFUE, which means they only waste 5% of the fuel they use for heating. In comparison, older boilers often waste 20% or more.
- Smart features. Some boilers are equipped with smart features, giving you the power to control them from just about anywhere with your phone.
- Smaller footprint. Older boilers can take up a lot of space. Some newer models can be installed on the wall to give you more flexibility.
- Quiet comfort. Modern boilers are designed to deliver comfort you can feel, not hear. This gives you more flexibility about where you install them.

A combi (combination) boiler heats your home and provides on-demand hot water in one compact, wall-mounted unit. If you currently have a separate boiler and water heater, combining them into a high-efficiency combi boiler can save space and cut energy costs. Ask a Howe technician whether a combi boiler is a good fit for your home’s size and hot water needs.
Yes. A boiler that stops working in a South Dakota winter is an emergency, so Howe’s certified technicians are available 24/7 for emergency boiler repair in Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, Tea and surrounding areas. If you notice a strange smell, leaking water or no heat, turn off your boiler and call us right away at 605-339-2020.
Once a year, ideally in late summer or early fall before heating season starts. Annual maintenance lets our technicians test safety controls, check pressure and water quality, inspect pumps and valves, and catch small problems before they turn into a mid-winter breakdown. Regular service also helps keep your manufacturer warranty valid and your boiler running efficiently.
With proper annual maintenance, a residential boiler can last 20 years or longer. Skipping tune-ups, poor water quality and sediment buildup can shorten that a lot. If your boiler is getting close to 20 years old and needs frequent repairs, heats slowly or is driving up your energy bills, it may be time to replace it with a high-efficiency model.
It depends on what’s wrong. A fix like a faulty thermostat, pressure valve or circulating pump costs far less than a cracked heat exchanger or a major leak. The boiler’s age, type and parts availability matter too. Howe gives you honest, upfront pricing before any work starts. If the repair would cost more than half the price of a new boiler, we’ll tell you, and we’ll give you a free, no-pressure replacement quote. Call 605-339-2020 to schedule a diagnostic.
