4 Dangers Of Using a Faulty Boiler

Faulty boilers are one of the most hazardous things that can happen in any industry. Heating systems that run on wood or fossil fuels, like gas, coal or oil, are at constant risk of emitting carbon monoxide if they are not serviced as often as they need to be. In such cases, boiler overhauling is the need of the hour, considering how dangerous a faulty boiler can be, if not attended to, on time.

Dangers of using a faulty boiler

To be fair, faulty boilers don’t necessarily scream “DANGER”. Some faulty boilers are usually safe and need just a little reset to work properly again. In fact, modern boilers are well-equipped with thermostats and pressure relief valves to prevent any danger.

But, the modern boilers aren’t full-proof, either. They sometimes do show signs that point to the potential danger of using them. Carbon monoxide – also termed the ‘silent killer’ – can be fatal, if there’s a delay. The smell of spent gas and fumes are definite signs of danger brewing. If you can smell such odor, it’s strongly advised that you contact your industrial utility service provider. Also, you should contact them, if there are any visible sooting signs or spillage marks.

Another danger of a faulty boiler is the pilot light consistently going out, or turning into a wavy yellow flame, instead of the usual blue one. Again, that is caused due to an excess of carbon monoxide in the boiler, and it spills the harmful gas inside the room, which is fatal. If you’re unsure of your boiler’s status, but you’re continuously nauseating whenever the boiler is running – buckle up and call your service provider. It’s yet another dangerous sign of your boiler being faulty, and you can even starve of air. Whenever these dangers are brewing, the most logical thing would be to turn off the boiler immediately until help arrives.
