Boiler Services
Make sure your heating system is ready to tackle the winter season. This means having your boiler maintained annually and looking out for any problem signs throughout the year.
No matter what kind of boiler you have—steam, hot water, electric, condensing, combi—we’re here to help you get your system running efficiently again in no time. Give us a call to discuss your boiler repair or replacement needs and we’ll have an expert out to your home the same day!
Many homeowners turn on their boiler in the winter only to discover it’s not working. We regularly receive calls involving boilers with pilot lights that won’t stay lit and units making loud clanking sounds.
To avoid emergency service, take the time to check your boiler before the weather starts to turn chilly. We recommend turning the unit on for a few minutes during the summer to assure the system is working properly.
Common causes of boiler problems include:
- Low pressure
- Kettling (due to scale buildup)
- Blocked condensate pipe
- Broken valves, pumps, or other components
- Faulty thermocouple
- Worn out thermostat
If you notice anything unusual about your boiler’s operation, give us a call for professional diagnosis. We will thoroughly inspect your system to get to the source of the problem. In most cases we will perform a repair on the spot. However, if you have an older boiler that is prone to problems, you may need to plan for replacement. Our experts will help you determine the best course of action according to your needs.
Replacing Your Boiler
When we go to service residential boilers we are often asked by homeowners, “Do I need a new boiler? Is my old one good for a few more years?”
The level and quality of maintenance plays a significant part in how long your unit lasts. But in general, the typical gas boiler is expected to last 10–15 years.
If you have had your boiler for 20–30 years (not uncommon in older homes) and you find yourself calling for frequent repairs or service, it might be time to consider replacement. Boilers manufactured nowadays are designed to be much more energy efficient, and having a newer model installed may help lower your heating bills.
If you’re having an issue with your boiler or interested in replacing your old boiler with a newer more efficient one, call us today to schedule an appointment.
