Our Boiler Repair Process And Key Safety And Compliance Checks
We follow a clear six-step boiler repair process to restore heat quickly and safely.
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection and Diagnostics
- Combustion testing to verify safe operation and acceptable carbon monoxide readings according to manufacturer guidance
- Leak checks on visible piping, valves, and accessible joints
- System pressure check to confirm the boiler is within the manufacturer’s recommended cold and hot pressure range
Step 2: Transparent Estimate
- Clear written estimate that explains parts and labor before work begins
- Clear timeline for start and expected completion
- We review the findings with you and get approval before we proceed
Step 3: Professional Repair
- Installation of quality parts that meet manufacturer specifications
- Burner inspection and adjustment, control and sensor checks per the manual, and lubrication where needed
- Replacement of worn components identified during diagnostics, such as gaskets, seals, valves, or sensors
- Many common repairs are completed the same day when parts are on hand
Step 4: Rigorous Safety and Compliance Checks
- Carbon monoxide safety checks and inspection of venting for proper routing and draft
- Verification of pressure relief valve operation and expansion tank charge where accessible
- Verification that boiler electrical connections are secure and properly grounded; we note any electrical safety concerns that require a licensed electrician
- We advise on local code requirements and, when a permit is required, we coordinate with the local building department
Step 5: Final Performance Test
- Full system run test to verify proper firing, circulation, and temperature differential across the system
- Operating checks that include supply and return temperature readings and confirmation that system controls operate as intended
- Customer walkthrough to explain the repair and answer questions
Step 6: Clean-Up and Documentation
- Job site clean-up and debris removal
- We check in as needed to make sure your system is performing as expected
- Warranty coverage includes our 1-year labor warranty and manufacturer parts
Types of Boilers We Service and Unique Repair Considerations
Conventional (Hot-Water) Boilers
- Inspect venting and heat exchanger surfaces, and verify expansion tank charge and relief valve condition where accessible.
- Check circulators, zone valves, aquastats, and safety controls; replace failed components as needed per the manual.
System-system Boilers
- Verify diaphragm expansion tank charge, look for pressure loss causes such as leaks or failed relief valves, and confirm make-up water controls are functioning.
- Verify integrated circulator operation and run control diagnostics.
Combi Boilers
- Descale the domestic-hot-water heat exchanger when scale is present and water hardness warrants it, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Test the diverter valve and verify domestic-hot-water flow and temperature performance per the manual.
Preventative Maintenance Services and Replacement Guidance
Keeping your boiler well-maintained pays off every season with fewer issues and better efficiency. We provide comprehensive boiler maintenance that catches issues early and supports a longer service life.
What Our Annual Maintenance Includes
- Check system water quality, then flush or descale only if testing shows scale or sludge.
- Perform safety checks on the pressure relief valve, expansion tank, venting, and combustion area.
- Tune the burner, perform combustion analysis, and verify carbon monoxide alarms are working.
- Inspect circulator pumps and service them per the manufacturer, most modern wet-rotor or ECM pumps are water-lubricated and do not need oiling, and inspect valves and gas train for proper operation and leaks.
- Provide a detailed inspection report with prioritized repair recommendations.
Maintenance Benefits for You
- Fewer unexpected breakdowns, enjoy peace of mind when temperatures drop.
- Save about 5 to 10 percent on heating costs with routine maintenance and proper tuning.
- Extended boiler life, many systems last around 15 years and longer with proper care.
- Ask about our Annual HVAC Maintenance Plan benefits, including priority scheduling and member repair discounts when available.
When to Consider Replacement
Even well-built boilers age, and we recommend replacement when the signs below start showing up.
- If you have needed multiple major repairs within the last two years, replacement may be the smarter investment.
- If energy bills keep climbing despite recent repairs and tune-ups, consider a replacement.
- If parts are obsolete or the model is discontinued, repairs can become slow and costly, and replacement may be advisable.
- If you are experiencing frequent pilot or ignition failures, talk to us about replacement options.
If it is time for a new boiler, we install high-efficiency systems, including ENERGY STAR certified gas boilers that meet current criteria, and we can help you explore available incentives and financing.
