While there are a few basic checks you can perform safely, boiler systems involve gas, electricity, and high-pressure water, making DIY repairs potentially dangerous. You can check that your thermostat is set correctly, ensure the power switch is on, and verify that your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
However, never attempt to repair gas connections, electrical components, or internal boiler parts yourself. Massachusetts requires licensed professionals to perform most boiler repairs to ensure safety and code compliance.
