Buildings: What are five actions property managers should apply to their boilers?rnPindus: 1. Put the burner on low fire - it won't have to work as hard during the summer.rn2. Reduce the aquastat temperature by 10 degrees. If there is an EMS, use the staging feature of the aquastat.rn3. "Top off the boiler" (bring the water level to the top).rn4. Have your service technician completely service the boiler and burner - oil the circulating pumps and motors, clean the air passages, remove any soot, repair leaks, clean the tubes (if necessary), and check for signs of wear.rn5.
