Boiler Services

Residential boilers should be professionally serviced annually, typically in early fall before heating season. Commercial boilers may require more frequent service depending on usage and local codes. Annual service includes combustion tuning, safety testing, and component inspection that prevents breakdowns and extends boiler life.

Pressure loss in a boiler system is almost always caused by a leak somewhere in the piping, radiators, or boiler itself. Common leak points include corroded fittings, failed zone valve seals, and expansion tank bladder failures. We systematically pressure test the system to locate the leak source and repair it properly.

Radiant floor heating costs more upfront than forced-air systems ($10-15 per square foot vs. $5-8 for forced-air) but provides superior comfort, eliminates dust circulation, operates silently, and reduces energy costs by 20-30% due to lower operating temperatures. It's particularly valuable in bathrooms, kitchens, and homes where allergy sufferers benefit from dustless heating.

Yes, though it's a significant project. We install wall-mounted panel radiators, baseboard radiators, or radiant floor loops connected to a high-efficiency boiler. The existing ductwork can be repurposed for central AC if cooling is also needed. We provide detailed project proposals including cost, timeline, and expected comfort improvements.
