Steam Heating

Steam heating is a lost art, but at Neo plumbing, it is alive and well. Neo Plumbing’s knowledge and experience in this area are extensive. It spans decades for many of our employees. This is one of the major differences between our co. and many others. Our guys have installed thousands of boilers over the years. We have experience with any and every type of boiler and steam system you can throw at us.

How Does a Steam Boiler Work?

First of all, it is important to understand how the steam boiler functions. A steam boiler system contains a boiler to heat a steam and a network of pipes to distribute it. It also includes radiators that heat various rooms. Generally speaking, a gas or oil burner heats water to boiler point and directs hot steam into radiators in the residence. Today, the advanced boilers circulate water around the heat source through a series of passages or tubes. It comes in with a number of components such as pressure gauge, regulator, pressure-relief valve, and low-water cutoff monitor to regulate boiler operation. Most steam boilers come equipped with an automatic feed that supplies more water when it’s needed.

What Can Go Wrong with a Steam Boiler?

Regular maintenance is necessary to help keep repairs to a minimum. You may encounter a whole variety of problems including no heat or poor heat, low water, clouded glass gauge, and noisy pipes.
