Even if your boiler is running just fine now it can't hurt to know what can go wrong. Here are 3 of the most common problems Boilers will run into:
No Power
If the boiler has seemingly shut down at random, check the emergency fuel switch. This can get turned off accidentally, or perhaps someone goofed and forgot to turn it back on after maintenance. Then check the controls and pressure gauge for their correct settings, check the owner's manual if you have to. Finally, check the fuse box for a blown fuse if you still don't have power. If none of these steps worked it may be time to call a technician.
Faulty Thermostat
If your boiler doesn't seem to be heating up adequately, and it has power, make sure it has the right settings first, and then check to see if it just needs to be turned up a few degrees. If not, you may have a bad thermostat, or something worse! Best just to call a technician and get it taken care of.
Clogged Pipes
Boilers have a series a pipes that run from the boiler unit to the hydronic radiant system. When there's a clog your boiler may stop heating adequately, sometimes stopping entirely. This can be a symptom of a sediment that hasn't been flushed or something else, either way you'll want to get a hold of a technician for diagnosis and repair.
