Frequently Asked Questions
Do many homes in Eastern Iowa still use boilers?
Yes, boilers are common in homes built before forced-air systems became standard. Many older homes in Eastern Iowa, especially in cities like Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Dubuque, and surrounding rural areas, use boilers for radiant heat. Modern boilers are also making a comeback, thanks to the water’s ability to carry heat more reliably than air. Homeowners who switch experience more consistent warmth and better energy efficiency.
How often should I schedule boiler maintenance?
You should have your boiler professionally serviced once a year, ideally in early fall. Annual maintenance helps prevent mid-winter failures during Iowa’s coldest months and improves efficiency.
What should I do if my boiler stops working in winter?
Boiler failures are stressful, but it’s important not to panic. First, check:
- The thermostat settings
- Power or gas supply
- Boiler pressure gauge
If the issue isn’t obvious, call our professionals immediately. During eastern Iowa winters, going without heat can quickly lead to frozen pipes and costly damage. We’ll work to get the problem resolved quickly!
Is it normal for my boiler to make noise?
Some noise is normal for boilers, but banging, gurgling, or whistling sounds are not. These often indicate trapped air, mineral buildup, or pressure issues and should be checked by a technician. Contact Chronister Enterprises ASAP for a thorough system inspection and long-lasting repairs.
