Boilers

There are many causes for boiler explosions such as poor water treatment causing scaling and over heating of the plates, low water level, a stuck safety valve, or even a furnace explosion that in turn, if severe enough, can cause a boiler explosion.

Have a professional examine your furnace as soon as possible. If ignored, the intensity of the flames caused by the gas buildup can eventually cause your boiler's heat exchanger to crack (easily a $1,200+ repair). Beyond being expensive, a cracked heat exchanger can also lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. You see, the heat exchanger contains
