The hidden cost of ignoring your boiler repair
Every winter, Coquitlam homes face the same battle: keeping the cold out and the warmth in.
Yet, according to the Canadian Heating Association, over 30% of gas boiler breakdowns occur because the system has not been serviced on time.
One small annual appointment can mean the difference between cozy comfort and an emergency breakdown on the coldest night of the year.
Our team at Skylimit Heating specializes in keeping your boiler running at peak performance, saving you money on energy bills, enhancing safety, and extending the life of your equipment.
Why Annual Gas Boiler Service Matters in Coquitlam
Coquitlam’s climate is no stranger to damp, chilly winters.
Your gas boiler works overtime, and without regular maintenance, efficiency drops while safety risks climb.
Here are the key benefits of annual service:
Lower Energy Bills
A tuned boiler consumes less gas, reducing monthly heating costs by up to 15%.
Maximized Safety
Regular inspections detect gas leaks, carbon monoxide risks, and malfunctioning pressure systems before they become dangerous.
Reliable Comfort
Prevents unexpected breakdowns during peak winter.
Prolonged Lifespan
A well-maintained boiler can serve you for 15–20 years.
Failing to service your unit can also void manufacturer warranties and contravene Technical Safety BC regulations.

How Often Should You Service Your Gas Boiler?
