Placing an Order
			
					
			
				
					 What do I need to place a parts order?				
			
			
				
You will typically need three things to place an order: brand name, part/model numbers, and any related sizing information.
			
		
				
			
				
					 Is my boiler operating efficiently?				
			
			
				
One way to perform a quick check on efficiency is through flame port and stack temperature checks. Typically, a flame that is blue in color and a stack temperature that has not deviated greatly from daily records is ideal for efficiency.



For further analysis, a Matt Marshall technician can perform combustion analysis testing and tune your boiler if necessary.
