Boiler Systems

High Efficiency, Gas, Oil & Steam Boiler Systems

Steam that fueled the industrial revolution of the 19th century is still used for heating in residential and commercial buildings in many Richmond neighborhoods.  They may be old but they are not worn out!

Many boilers have had their operational lives saved (or at least extended) by re-piping boiler rooms and restoring the system to original engineering and operational criteria. Well-meaning people attempted to improve steam systems, and sketchy boiler salesmen sold owners on changes to steam systems many times making them inefficient and rendering the boiler useless.

With the elimination of radiators from buildings in an attempt to control temperature, failure to repair or replace inoperable steam vents and traps cause the system to perform poorly or break.  Many service personnel only suggest to “turn up the pressure” and soon the system bangs, knocks, guzzles fuel, and heats poorly.

Making steam the culprit rather than improper control,  inadequate maintenance and incorrect piping can cost building owners a great deal of money, downtime, and bigger electric bills.  Vassars Service of Richmond has extensive experience in steam boiler operation, installation, and maintenance.
