Ensure Reliable, Even Warmth and Peak System Efficiency

Boilers are the workhorses of many historic and modern homes in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Canton. Unlike standard forced-air systems, boilers use water or steam to provide a gentle, consistent radiant heat. However, because they involve high-pressure water and gas combustion, regular professional maintenance is essential to prevent leaks, inefficiencies, and dangerous system failures.

At Riviance HVAC, we are specialists in hydronic and radiant heating systems. Our comprehensive boiler maintenance and seasonal tune-ups ensure your system is prepared to handle the most brutal Michigan winters while keeping your energy costs as low as possible.

What’s Included in a Riviance Boiler Tune-Up?

A boiler is a complex piece of machinery that requires a different maintenance approach than a furnace. Our certified technicians perform a meticulous multi-point inspection, including:

• Heat Exchanger Inspection & Cleaning: We remove soot and scale buildup from the heat exchanger to ensure maximum heat transfer and prevent energy waste.

• System Pressure & Water Level Check: We verify that your system is operating at the correct PSI and that the auto-feed valves are functioning properly.

• Expansion Tank Assessment: We ensure the expansion tank has the correct air-to-water ratio to prevent dangerous pressure spikes.

• Safety Valve Testing: We test the pressure relief valves and low-water cut-offs to ensure they will protect your home in the event of a system malfunction.

• Circulator Pump Lubrication: We inspect and lubricate pumps to ensure quiet, efficient water distribution to your radiators or floor loops.

• Flue & Venting Analysis: We check for blockages or corrosion in the venting system to ensure toxic combustion gases like carbon monoxide are safely exiting your home.

• Water Quality Check: For modern high-efficiency boilers, we check the pH and chemical balance of the system water to prevent internal corrosion.
