FAQs
Got questions? Here are straight answers about how our AquaCare Maintenance Program can lower your heating bills, protect your investment and improve your home comfort.
What is included in the AquaCare cleaning?
AquaCare is a professional service that removes limescale, rust, and sludge from your boiler and heating pipes. Using specialized equipment, we flush out years of buildup that makes your system work harder and cost more to run. Most Vashon Island homes have never had this service, despite our hard water making it especially important.
How do I know if my system needs cleaning?
Common signs include:
- Higher heating bills each year
- Some rooms colder than others
- Noisy pipes or radiators
- Frequent radiator bleeding needed
- System over 5 years old
If you're experiencing any of these issues, your system likely needs our AquaCare service.
How long does the service take?
Most homes take 6-8 hours to complete. We'll give you an exact timeframe during your free assessment. You can stay home during service – we just need access to your boiler and one radiator.
How much will I save on heating costs?
Most island homeowners save 15-30% on their heating bills after AquaCare service. For a typical home spending $250/month on heat, that's $40-75 in monthly savings. The service usually pays for itself within 1-2 winters.
What other benefits will I see?
Beyond energy savings, you'll enjoy:
- Even heat throughout your home
- Quieter system operation
- Faster heating response
- 5-10 year longer boiler life
- Fewer repair calls
- Protected manufacturer warranty
How quickly will I notice the difference?
Immediately! Radiators heat up faster, cold spots disappear, and pipe noises stop right away. Energy savings show up on your next heating bill.
What exactly do you do during the service?
Our 6-step process includes:
- Test your system water quality
- Recommend appropriate service
- Connect professional flushing equipment
- Remove all limescale, rust, and sludge
- Refill with fresh, treated water
- Add inhibitor to prevent future buildup
Is it safe for my home and family?
Absolutely. Firstly, your Boiler System water does NOT mix with your home's drinking or bathing water. Also, we use boiler-safe chemicals that are completely flushed out. There's minimal mess – we use protective covers and clean up completely. The process is safe for all pipe types and won't damage your system.
Will this void my boiler warranty?
No – it actually helps maintain your warranty. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance, including system cleaning. We provide documentation showing your system has been properly maintained.
How much does AquaCare service cost?
Service typically ranges from $800-1,500 depending on your system size. This includes everything:
- Complete system assessment
- Full cleaning service
- Inhibitor protection treatment
- Before/after efficiency testing
- 12-month guarantee
We'll provide an exact quote during your free assessment.
Why is it worth the investment?
Consider the math: Save $40-75 monthly on heating bills, avoid a $10,000 early boiler replacement, prevent emergency repairs, and enjoy consistent comfort. Most customers see complete payback in under 2 years.
Do you offer payment options?
Yes! We accept all major credit cards and offer maintenance plans to spread out payments on a monthly basis. We'll discuss options during your free assessment.
