The Importance of Combi Boiler Maintenance - 7 Reasons 

When it comes to boiler maintenance, we frequently encounter clients who have been misinformed about the importance of combi boiler maintenance. In this article, we’d like to clarify some of the misconceptions.

Combination boilers (kombi) combine the functions of making hot water, and providing heat. It is used all year round to provide our homes with hot potable water. 

Heating boilers are only used during winter, which is about five months in Toronto. Manufacturers recommend that you have your heating boiler checked at least once a year before the cold season sets in. Therefore, it is even more important to maintain your combi boiler, which you use about three times more. 

It’s only natural for any mechanical systems to deteriorate with wear and tear. More use results in more wear and tear and sometimes, perished parts. As such, combi boiler maintenance is paramount.

What are the benefits of regular combi boiler service?

If you, like most Toronto residents, value the comfort of a warm home and hot potable water, it is important to book your combi boiler maintenance service at least once every year. Although some of the basic maintenance tasks appear quite simple, the manufacturer warranty requires that the service is performed by an accredited heating contractor.
