is it beneficial to drain my home steam boiler in the summer months when not in use. Probably around 7 months out of the year
Thanks

Not really. Most folks just overfill it slightly, run it up to boiling to boil off the oxygen in the new water, and let it be.

Jamie is correct, but I like @Mad Dog_2's detailed explanation much better!

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?
