A combi runs year-round because it supplies both heating and hot water, so a yearly service catches small problems before they become breakdowns. A typical visit includes inspecting and cleaning combustion components, checking the burner and flame, confirming the sealed intake and exhaust venting is clear, checking the condensate drain, verifying system pressure, and confirming the thermostat and controls work correctly.
All combustion, gas, and internal component work is performed by a licensed gas technician. Between visits, a homeowner can keep an eye on the pressure gauge and watch for error codes — but anything beyond that should be left to a technician.
- Inspecting and cleaning the burner and combustion components
- Confirming clear sealed venting and condensate drain
- Checking system pressure and operation
- Verifying thermostat and control function
- Descaling the heat exchanger when water hardness warrants it
Descaling for Lower Mainland water
Mineral content in Lower Mainland water can deposit scale on a combi's heat exchanger over time, which slows hot-water flow and lowers efficiency. Descaling and flushing as part of maintenance keeps hot water steady and helps the unit run economically through Coquitlam's long heating season.
For larger homes on Burke Mountain or Westwood Plateau that put heavy demand on the unit, regular maintenance is especially valuable for keeping performance consistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a Coquitlam combi be serviced?
An annual service suits a combi because it runs all year supplying both heating and hot water. Regular maintenance helps keep it safe, efficient, and dependable.
Why does descaling matter here?
Lower Mainland water can leave scale on the heat exchanger, reducing hot-water flow and efficiency. Descaling and flushing during service restores performance; the right interval depends on water and usage.
Can I do any maintenance myself?
You can monitor the pressure gauge, watch for error codes, and keep the outdoor vent terminal clear. Combustion, gas, and internal work must be handled by a licensed technician.
Does servicing improve efficiency?
Yes. Clean combustion components, clear venting, and a descaled heat exchanger all help a combi run more efficiently and reliably.
