What is not considered regular boiler maintenance?

Explanation:
Regular boiler maintenance focuses on safety, proper operation, and keeping the system clean and monitored without changing how the boiler runs. Cleaning the burners helps ensure complete combustion and efficient heat transfer. Inspecting safety controls confirms that shutoffs and interlocks will work in an emergency. Checking for gas leaks helps prevent hazardous conditions. Adjusting the gas pressure, however, changes the burner’s fuel supply and combustion characteristics, which can affect efficiency, emissions, and safety. That kind of tuning should be performed only by a licensed technician during installation or when calibration is needed, not as part of routine maintenance.
