Boiler Start UpHow do I start up a boiler after inspection?
In many cases, steam boilers are only used in the winter for heat. To make sure you are operating safely and at peak efficiency:
- Have the boiler inspected by a qualified boiler service technician
- Open both the water and fireside of the boiler for an inspection.
- Clean both the fireside and waterside.
- Call your inspector after you have cleaned things up.
- Reassemble your boiler use new gaskets.
- Clean and inspect your low water cutoff.
- Check all safety devices, including a pop test on the safety relief valves, flame safeguard checks and a leak test on safety shut-off valves.
- Prime your boiler chemical pumps.
- Make sure to have your boiler maintenance charts ready to use. It is good to store them in the testing cabinet>.
