As a core equipment for modern home heating and hot water supply, wall-hung boilers are not only related to the comfort of life, but also to the long-term use cost. Improper use and maintenance will not only increase energy consumption, but also may cause frequent failures and shorten the service life of the equipment. Mastering the correct use and maintenance methods can effectively extend the service life of the wall-hung boiler and ensure its efficient and stable operation.

I. Standard Installation is the Basis

Choosing a professional installation team is crucial. The installation location of the wall-hung boiler must meet the requirements of good ventilation, dryness, and distance from flammable materials, and sufficient maintenance space must be reserved. The pipeline connections must be precise to ensure the sealing of water and gas lines, and avoid problems such as water leakage and gas leakage caused by improper installation. Incorrect installation not only affects the safety of use but also accelerates the wear and tear of equipment components.

II. Correct Use is Key

1.  Reasonable temperature setting: Adjust the heating and hot water temperature reasonably according to the season and actual needs. In winter, the heating temperature setting is 55 ℃ - 65 ℃ is more suitable in between, and the summer hot water temperature is controlled at 40 ℃ - 45 ℃, which can meet the needs of use, reduce energy consumption, and reduce equipment load. Frequent temperature adjustment or setting too high temperature will cause the wall-hung boiler to start frequently, increasing the operating burden.

2.  Avoid frequent start-stop: For short-term outings ( 1 - 2 hours), there is no need to turn off the wall-hung boiler; it can be adjusted to low-temperature operation mode, which is more energy-saving and reduces component wear than frequent start-stop. If you are away from home for a long time, you can turn off the wall-hung boiler, but you need to drain the water in the system to prevent freezing.

III. Regular Maintenance is a Guarantee

  1.  Cleaning and maintenance: It is recommended to ask a professional to perform a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance of the wall-hung boiler annually. The cleaning content includes key components such as the heat exchanger, burner, and fan, removing internal scale and carbon deposits to ensure heat exchange efficiency and reduce gas consumption. Scale will affect heat transfer, leading to a decrease in equipment operating efficiency, and long-term accumulation may also damage the heat exchanger.

  2.  Check components: Regularly check whether there are any leaks in the water and gas pipelines, and check whether the fan, water pump, and other rotating components are operating normally. If pipeline aging, component noise, or other problems are found, deal with them in time to prevent minor problems from becoming major problems.

IV. Daily Maintenance Tips

  1.  Water quality management: Use softened water or install a water filter to reduce the impact of calcium, magnesium, and other ions in the water on the wall-hung boiler. Hard water is easy to produce scale, shortening the service life of the equipment.

  2.  Pressure monitoring: Check the system pressure once a week. The normal pressure range is 1 - 1.5bar between. When the pressure is too low, add water in time; when the pressure is too high, it needs to be depressurized to prevent damage to the equipment due to abnormal pressure.

  3.  Flue cleaning: Regularly check whether the flue is blocked or damaged to ensure smooth exhaust. Flue blockage can lead to incomplete combustion and the production of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, endangering personal safety.

V. Maintenance During Shutdown

If the wall-hung boiler is not in use during the non-heating season, anti-freezing and moisture-proof measures must be taken. If the ambient temperature may be below 0 ℃, the water in the system should be drained or antifreeze should be added; keep the space where the wall-hung boiler is located dry and ventilated to prevent damage to components such as the circuit board due to dampness.

Extending the service life of a wall-hung boiler requires starting from multiple aspects, such as installation, use, and maintenance, paying attention to every detail. Standardized use and scientific maintenance can not only make the wall-hung boiler operate efficiently but also save a lot of operating costs for the family, bringing a more comfortable and safe living experience. I hope these methods can help you better use and maintain your wall-hung boiler, allowing it to accompany your family for a long time.
