Common Boiler Problems We Fix
- No heat or hot water. Often a failed ignition, a pressure issue, or a faulty pump.
- Leaking. Usually a worn seal, valve, or pressure relief issue.
- Strange noises. Banging or gurgling can mean trapped air or mineral buildup.
- Error codes. Modern boilers flag specific faults through a diagnostic display.
- Uneven heat. Can point to a circulation or zone valve problem.
Residential Boilers
Boilers have become a popular choice for home heating, especially alongside radiant floor systems, thanks to real gains in efficiency and quiet operation. Modern condensing boilers run at 90 to 96 percent efficiency, compared to 70 to 85 percent for non-condensing units, and units over 20 years old often operate below 70 percent, which is worth knowing if yours is getting up there in age.
Commercial Boilers
Commercial boiler service is one of our specialties. We've worked with apartment buildings, strata groups, and industrial settings for decades, and we understand the stricter maintenance schedules older commercial systems need to stay safe and efficient. In multi-burner commercial settings, proper burner management also matters for reducing downtime and keeping the system safe for everyone in the building.

Radiant Floor & Hydronic Heating
Hydronic heating uses a boiler to circulate hot water through pipes to radiators or baseboard heaters. Radiant in-floor heating works the same way and has become popular for its quiet, even, comfortable heat and low operating cost over time. If you're renovating or building an addition and considering radiant floors, we're glad to quote a new system directly.
Annual Boiler Maintenance
Regular service catches small problems before they become breakdowns. A typical annual visit includes a leak check, a full diagnostic scan for error codes, pressure and temperature testing, inspection of the heat exchanger and relief valves, and cleaning to clear scale and sediment that builds up over a year of operation. We recommend flushing the system annually to keep it running quietly and efficiently.

Repair or Replace?
An aging boiler with declining efficiency and rising repair costs is often worth replacing rather than continuing to patch. For the general repair-versus-replace decision, see our heating repair page. When you're ready to talk about a new system, our heating installation page covers what that involves
