Annual Boiler Inspection Services in Staten Island, NY
Get Your Boiler Checked Before the First Cold Night
Book Before the Heating Season Rush
An annual boiler inspection is a full safety and performance check of your boiler before winter. RB Mechanical Plumbing and Heating does annual boiler inspections across Staten Island, NY, for homes, multi-family buildings and businesses. A licensed master plumber tests every safety control, checks for gas and carbon monoxide risks, and makes sure your boiler will start on the first cold night. Fall appointments fill up fast once the temperature drops, so the best time to book is October.
Why an Annual Boiler Inspection Matters in Staten Island, NY
Most boiler failures show up in the first week of real cold, when every heating company is booked. An inspection in the fall finds the worn igniter, the weak pump or the leaking valve while you still have time to fix it.
For larger buildings, it is also the law. In New York City, low-pressure boilers in buildings with six or more apartments must have an annual inspection filed with the Department of Buildings between January 1 and December 31. A report filed late, or more than 12 months after the inspection, brings a $1,000 penalty per boiler. One- to five-family homes are exempt from the filing, but they need the same safety check.

Signs Your Boiler Needs an Inspection Now
Do not wait for the annual visit if you notice any of these:
- The boiler takes several tries to fire, or shuts off by itself.
- Banging, knocking or whistling when the heat comes on.
- Water around the base, or a relief valve that drips.
- A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one.
- Rooms that never get warm, or a gas bill that jumps.
If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the building and call 911 and your gas utility first.
