Boiler repair

Pressure loss usually means a leak somewhere in the system or a relief valve that is letting water out. We track it down and repair it.

Air in the lines or a circulator problem is a common cause. Bleeding the system and checking the pump often fixes it.

We focus on the water side of the boiler: pumps, valves, tanks and piping. For burner and control issues, we can tell you what we find.

A hot water boiler heats water and circulates it through pipes to baseboards, radiators or radiant floors to warm a home. Because it moves water through piping, it is as much a plumbing system as a heating system.

Many residential hot water boilers run roughly 12 to 15 psi when cold and somewhat higher when hot, but the right range depends on the system and the height of the building. Check the manufacturer's guidance, or call us.

A system that keeps losing water has a leak, a relief valve that is discharging, or an expansion tank problem. Adding water over and over brings in fresh oxygen and minerals that corrode the system, so it is worth finding the cause.

Air trapped in that zone, a stuck zone valve, a failed circulator or a balancing problem are common causes. Bleeding the radiators and checking the zone controls often brings the heat back.

The circulator pump moves hot water from the boiler through the heating loops. If it is noisy or stops moving water, rooms go cold even though the boiler is hot. We repair and replace circulators.

The relief valve opens when pressure gets too high, often because the expansion tank is waterlogged or the fill valve is overfilling the system. A worn valve can also drip. It is a safety device and should be checked promptly.

The expansion tank gives heated water room to expand. When it fails or fills with water, pressure spikes every time the boiler fires, which can make the relief valve discharge.

Yes. We troubleshoot the pumps, mixing valves and piping that radiant floors depend on, to bring back even heat in every zone.

A mixing valve blends hot boiler water with cooler return water to deliver the right temperature to a zone, such as a radiant floor. A failed mixing valve leaves rooms too hot or too cool.

Yes. Some homes around the lake use a combination system for heat and household hot water. We troubleshoot the plumbing side, including pumps, valves and piping.

With the system running, use a radiator key to slowly open the bleed valve until air hisses out and water appears, then close it. Keep a rag handy, and check the boiler pressure afterward, since bleeding can lower it.

A small leak is usually not dangerous on its own, but it can damage floors, cause pressure loss and corrode the boiler. Water near electrical components is a hazard, so turn off the boiler if water reaches the controls and call us.

Yearly service before the heating season is a good habit. It catches leaks, failing pumps and pressure problems before the first cold night.

We work on the water side of boiler systems, including pumps, valves, tanks, piping and backflow protection. Call us with the details of your system.

Gurgling usually means there is air in the system. Bleeding air from radiators or high points in the piping often quiets it, and an automatic air vent can help keep it out.

A leak in tubing under a floor can show up as damp spots, pressure loss or warm wet areas. Finding it accurately before opening the floor saves cost, so call us if pressure keeps dropping with no visible leak.
