Call a HVAC technician if your mobile boiler malfunctions

Several malfunctions can occur due to the high temperature and pressure levels experienced in mobile boiler systems and require the knowledge of a professional HVAC technician. But, some boiler complications can be resolved by the homeowner. When your mobile boiler provides disappointing heat or no heat at all, there are several possible causes. Begin troubleshooting with the typical causes and repairs, such as the pilot light and thermostat. The first component to check is your thermostat setting. Ensure your thermostat is set on heat mode and that your setting is above your room temperature. Then it is necessary to check the circuit panel or fuse box for a tripped breaker or blown fuse. If your mobile boiler is using a sitting pilot light, check to ensure it is on. If it’s not, try to light it manually. A thermocouple malfunction is a typical cause for a pilot light that won’t come on. This is the component that shuts off gas automatically. It could also be caused by air from a defective seal that is extinguishing the pilot. Check your hot-surface ignitor. Hot-surface ignitors are designed to last up to several years. This component should be upgraded every 3 years when preventive maintenance is done to your HVAC system to avoid malfunctions. Also, check your circulator pump to confirm whether it is working. If your circulator pump is cool and doesn’t appear to be operating, you may have a blown fuse. If your pump is hot, the malfunction could be with the motor, run capacitor, or the pump. If you are experiencing water leaks from your mobile boiler, check for a faulty pump or faulty relief valve.
