If you haven\u2019t already thought about the quality of your heating system, now\u2019s the time to do so. When people think about breakdowns, they normally think they\u2019re inconvenient but unavoidable\u2014this is untrue. You can always avoid a system breakdown when you take the right preventative measures.

Be honest. If you did, we understand. Sometimes you forget to schedule these services or procrastinate until the temperatures are so low that you figure it\u2019s too late. We can ensure that these annual maintenance services are incredibly important.<\/p>\n<p>Annual maintenance allows a professional to take a close look at your system and find any problems before they become big issues. Even if you don\u2019t think that you have any egregious issues on your hands, you need to have maintenance services done. Problems aren\u2019t always a furnace not starting or a loud knocking noise\u2014sometimes they\u2019re subtle and undetectable to those who aren\u2019t a trained professional.<\/p>\n<h3>Check On It in Summer<\/h3>\n<p>When the temperatures are balmy and blazing in Mokena during summer, the last thing you\u2019re thinking about is firing up your boiler, right? We get it. However, you should try running your heater just once to make sure that parts\u00a0don&#8217;t seize up after a long time of standing still. It will help you avoid problems when you turn it on again in the fall.<\/p>\n<h3>Insulate Your Pipes<\/h3>\n<p>The cold weather here in Mokena often means that your pipes run the risk of freezing. When pipes freeze they often burst. We recommend that you insulate your pipes. You can consult one of our professional technicians to find out how to best do so for the pipe material in your home and point out the vulnerable places in your home. Our team will help you stay warm and safe no matter the circumstances this winter.<\/p>\n<h3>Get to Know Your Boiler<\/h3>\n<p>This is a point not everyone talks about. The best way to ensure you\u2019re always getting the most from your boiler is to really understand how\u00a0it works. Dust off that old manual or even download a copy online. If you still feel like there\u2019s more for you to learn after you read up on your system then call our team. We pride ourselves on having incredibly educated technicians that are also friendly and willing to help when you need them.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">We have the best boiler maintenance services in Illinois so when you need a great team,\u00a0be sure to <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact Johansen &amp; Anderson Inc<\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boilers get put to work during these colder winter months, here&#8217;s how to make sure yours runs smoothly for the rest of the season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[76],"tags":[180,181,171],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":780,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776\/revisions\/780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
