At Boelcke Heating and Air Conditioning, we offer comprehensive ASSE Certified Backflow testing, repair and new install in Stevensville and the Southwest Michigan area.

Our expert plumbers use specialized equipment to determine whether the backflow preventer is functioning properly.
Stay compliant with regulations, and protected from contamination risks
Backflow testing is typically required by local authorities annually. Forms shall be submitted to local municipality as required, especially for commercial properties or homes with irrigation systems or fire suppression system. Backflow testing is also required if there's any work done on water main prior to back flow preventer. By performing regular backflow testing you ensure that your plumbing system stays safe, compliant with regulations, and protected from contamination risks.
What Are the Benefits of Backflow Testing?
An ASSE certified, professional backflow test determines whether the backflow prevention device is working correctly. Testing is crucial because if the backflow preventer isn’t working, contaminated water could enter the potable water system, leading to health risks or violations of local codes.
How Often Should Backflow Testing Be Done?
Backflow testing is commonly performed annually and also during a new install. It’s important to test regularly to ensure the backflow prevention device is always functioning properly, especially if you have an irrigation system, fire suppression system, or other complex plumbing connections that could be at risk for backflow. If you're dealing with a property where backflow testing is required, you want to make sure it’s done on time to avoid penalties.
What Are Some Signs of Backflow Prevention Device Failure?
- A sudden drop in water pressure, after the back flow preventer, especially when using water in areas connected to the irrigation system.
- Water is coming out of the relief valve (found on devices like Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies, or RPZs)
- The backflow preventer itself shows cracks, leaks, or visible damage to the seals, valves, or connections.
- The only true determining factor for a failure is testing
If you've noticed any of these signs that your backflow prevention device might have a problem, or if it's been more than a year since its last test, call Boelcke Heating and Air Conditioning to schedule an appointment.

"Never Been Disappointed"
"I have had our heating and air conditioning service done by the Boelcke team for many years. I have never been disappointed. I have also had my furnace replaced and a new air conditioner installed. We have been very satisfied. However, it is the relationship that we continue to enjoy with the whole Boelcke team that we appreciate the most. Yesterday it was Ben who visited us. Send him back any time. He, like the others, fit right in. Thank you."
