More than a filter change
A real commercial boiler service is a systematic inspection of every system that can hurt efficiency or safety. When a Servco factory-trained technician services a boiler, this is what happens.
The full checklist
- — Fireside: open, inspect and clean tubes and tube sheets; check for soot (a 1/8" soot layer can cost 8% in fuel)
- — Waterside: inspect for scale and corrosion; verify water treatment is doing its job
- — Burner: inspect, clean, and rebuild as needed; check flame pattern and ignition
- — Combustion analysis: tune air-fuel ratio with a calibrated analyzer for peak efficiency and clean emissions
- — Controls: test operating and high-limit controls, low-water cutoffs, flame safeguard
- — Safety/relief valves: inspect condition and verify capacity matches the boiler
- — Refractory: check for cracks and deterioration; quote repairs before they spread
- — Gaskets and door seals: replace where needed to stop air and water leaks
- — Log review and report: what we found, what we did, what to watch
Why factory training matters
Anyone can vacuum a fireside. Knowing what a CBEX Elite's flame should look like, or why a ClearFire condensate line clogs, comes from factory training and repetition. Servco's technicians service every brand — Cleaver-Brooks, Fulton, Hurst, Burnham, Lochinvar, York-Shipley, and the rest — and carry the region's largest genuine parts inventory behind them.

Quick answers
How long does a commercial boiler service take?+
A routine service on a mid-size commercial boiler is typically a day. Larger firetube or watertube boilers with internal inspections can take longer, especially if repairs are found.
Do you service boilers you didn't sell?+
Yes — all brands and types, across Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Repairs, retrofits, and rebuilds happen at our shop or on-site.
What is combustion analysis?+
Measuring O2, CO, and stack temperature in the flue with a calibrated analyzer, then adjusting the burner's air-fuel ratio. It's how you know a boiler is actually efficient instead of just running.
