With the increasing demand for winter heating, wall mounted boilers, as the core equipment for home heating, have a direct impact on living comfort in terms of their operational status. However, many users often neglect daily maintenance when using wall mounted boilers, resulting in increased frequency of malfunctions and energy consumption, which seriously shortens the service life of wall mounted boilers. Therefore, mastering scientific maintenance methods for wall mounted boilers can not only keep them running efficiently, but also effectively extend their service life, saving unnecessary maintenance and replacement costs for families.
1、 Daily use: do a good job in basic maintenance and reduce the loss of wall mounted boilers
The detailed maintenance in daily use is the first line of defense to ensure the stable operation of wall mounted boilers, which can reduce equipment loss from the source and avoid small problems from escalating into major failures.
1.1 Regularly check water pressure to maintain normal operation
The normal operation of wall mounted boilers relies on stable water pressure. High or low water pressure can affect their work efficiency and even damage internal components. Users should observe the water pressure gauge on the wall mounted boiler control panel every week to ensure that the water pressure is between 1.0-1.5 bar. If the water pressure is below 1.0 bar, the water replenishment valve should be opened in a timely manner to replenish water. After the water pressure returns to normal, the valve should be closed; If the water pressure is too high, it is necessary to contact professionals to release the excess water pressure to avoid pressure damage to the heat exchanger, water pump and other components of the wall mounted boiler.
1.2 Reasonably adjust the temperature to avoid frequent starting and stopping
When using a wall mounted boiler, avoid setting the temperature too high or frequently adjusting the temperature. During winter heating, it is advisable to set the indoor temperature at 18-22 ℃. Excessive temperature will increase the load on the wall mounted boiler, leading to an increase in energy consumption; Frequent starting and stopping will cause the ignition system and circulation pump of the wall mounted boiler to work repeatedly, accelerating component aging. It is recommended to set a fixed temperature range based on the living habits of family members to reduce unnecessary temperature adjustments.
1.3 Keep the surroundings of the equipment clean and away from debris and obstructions
The area around the wall mounted boiler should be kept clean, avoiding the stacking of flammable and explosive materials, damp items, or debris. The obstruction of debris can affect the heat dissipation of wall mounted boilers, leading to high internal temperatures and shortening their service life; A humid environment may cause circuit faults or component rusting. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly wipe the shell of the wall mounted boiler to remove dust and oil stains, keep the appearance of the equipment clean, and also facilitate timely detection of damage to the shell.
2、 Seasonal alternation: targeted maintenance to meet different usage needs
When the seasons change, the frequency and working conditions of wall mounted boilers will change. Targeted maintenance at this time can better adapt to the needs of different seasons and extend the overall service life of wall mounted boilers.
2.1 After the end of the heating season: comprehensive cleaning and proper shutdown protection
After the heating season ends, the wall mounted boiler will enter a long-term shutdown state, and the focus of maintenance at this time is on cleaning and protection. Firstly, turn off the gas valve and power supply of the wall mounted boiler. After the equipment cools down, remove the filters from the inlet and outlet pipes, rinse them with clean water, remove sediment and impurities from the filters, and avoid impurities blocking the pipeline, which may affect the next use. Secondly, to clean the combustion chamber and heat exchanger of the wall mounted boiler, professional personnel can be contacted to use specialized tools to remove internal carbon deposits and dust. Excessive carbon deposits can affect heat exchange efficiency, leading to increased energy consumption and potential ignition difficulties. Finally, to prevent rusting of pipelines and components, the water replenishment valve of the wall mounted boiler can be opened to add a small amount of water to the system, maintain the appropriate humidity inside the system, and then close all valves.
2.2 Before the heating season: Check and debug to ensure normal start-up
Before the heating season, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection and debugging of the wall mounted boiler to ensure that the equipment can start and operate normally. Firstly, check if there are any leaks in the gas pipeline and valves. You can apply soapy water to the pipeline interface and valves. If bubbles appear, it indicates a leak. It is necessary to contact the gas company or professional personnel for repair in a timely manner to avoid safety accidents caused by gas leaks. Secondly, check the circuit system to see if the power cord and plug are damaged, and if the indicator lights on the control panel are normal. If any circuit problems are found, stop using it immediately and have it repaired by professional personnel. Then, turn on the power and gas valve of the wall mounted boiler, start the equipment for trial operation, observe the ignition status of the wall mounted boiler, the operation status of the circulation pump, and whether the outlet temperature is stable. If there are problems such as ignition failure, excessive noise, and significant temperature fluctuations, it is necessary to promptly troubleshoot and repair the problem. Finally, check the radiator or underfloor heating system to ensure that the pipes are unobstructed, without blockages or leaks. If there are problems with the radiator or underfloor heating, it can also affect the operational efficiency and service life of the wall mounted boiler.
3、 Professional maintenance: regularly seek professional services to ensure deep maintenance
Although maintenance during daily and seasonal changes can solve most problems, wall mounted boilers, as complex heating equipment, still require regular professional maintenance and in-depth maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the core components inside the equipment.
3.1 Determine the professional maintenance cycle to avoid delays
It is recommended that users arrange 1-2 professional maintenance sessions for wall mounted boilers every year, preferably after the end of the heating season and before the arrival of the season. Professional maintenance personnel possess professional knowledge and tools to conduct comprehensive inspection and maintenance of wall mounted boilers, including checking the corrosion of heat exchangers, the operational performance of circulation pumps, the speed of fans, the adjustment accuracy of gas proportional valves, and other core components. They can promptly detect potential faults that users cannot detect on their own, avoiding the expansion of faults and increasing maintenance costs due to delayed maintenance.
3.2 Choose a reputable service provider to ensure quality maintenance
When choosing a professional maintenance agency, priority should be given to qualified and reputable formal service agencies, avoiding choosing unqualified small workshops or individuals. The maintenance personnel of formal service institutions have undergone professional training and are familiar with the structure and working principles of different types of wall mounted boilers. They can provide standardized maintenance services and use repair parts that meet national standards to ensure maintenance quality. At the same time, legitimate service agencies will provide maintenance records and warranty services. If problems arise due to improper maintenance in the future, users can protect their rights in accordance with the law. During the maintenance process, users can request maintenance personnel to explain the use and maintenance precautions of the wall mounted boiler, learn more professional maintenance knowledge, in order to better carry out daily maintenance.
The maintenance of wall mounted boilers is a long-term commitment. Whether it is detailed maintenance during daily use, targeted maintenance during seasonal changes, or regular professional maintenance, it can effectively reduce the failure rate of wall mounted boilers, improve operational efficiency, and extend service life. I hope every user can pay attention to the maintenance of wall mounted boilers, so that they can always provide stable and efficient heating services for their families, and avoid unnecessary losses caused by neglecting maintenance.
