Complete Boiler Servicing Solutions

Everything Your Boiler Needs

Dempsey Energy’s boiler repair service covers everything from emergency breakdowns to routine maintenance that prevents problems before they start. Our technicians work on all types of boiler systems, whether you have an older cast iron unit or a newer condensing boiler.

Common repairs include fixing circulation pumps, replacing faulty thermostats, addressing pressure issues, and resolving ignition problems. We also handle more complex issues like heat exchanger problems and control system failures.

Beyond emergency repairs, we offer preventive boiler servicing that catches small issues before they become expensive breakdowns. This includes cleaning, inspection, and adjustment of all system components. Members of our Dempsey Comfort Club get priority scheduling and additional benefits that help keep heating costs manageable year-round.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency boiler repair?

Response time depends on the severity of the situation and current demand, but emergency heating calls get priority scheduling. During extreme cold weather, when boiler failures spike, we work extended hours to reach customers as quickly as possible. The best approach is to call as soon as you notice heating problems rather than waiting for a complete breakdown. Early intervention often means faster repairs and less chance of being without heat during the coldest days when everyone’s boiler seems to fail at once.

What are the most common boiler problems in this area?

In Norfolk County, the most frequent boiler issues include circulation pump failures, thermostat malfunctions, and pressure problems caused by aging systems. Many homes have older cast iron boilers that develop leaks or efficiency issues over time. Newer high-efficiency boilers sometimes have control system problems or require specialized maintenance that general repair services can’t handle properly. Sediment buildup is also common due to local water conditions, which can cause overheating and reduced efficiency. Regular maintenance prevents most of these problems, but when they do occur, proper diagnosis is essential because symptoms often overlap between different issues.

Should I repair my old boiler or replace it entirely?

This depends on the age of your boiler, the cost of repairs, and how efficiently it’s been running. Generally, if repair costs exceed half the price of a new boiler, or if your system is over 15 years old and having frequent problems, replacement makes more financial sense. However, a well-maintained older boiler can often be repaired cost-effectively for several more years. Our technician will assess your specific situation, including the condition of your existing system, your home’s heating needs, and potential energy savings from a newer unit, then give you honest recommendations based on what makes sense for your situation.

Do you work on all types of boiler systems?

Yes, Dempsey Energy’s technicians are trained on all major boiler types, from traditional cast iron systems to modern condensing boilers, combination units, and steam boilers. We work with gas, oil, and electric systems from manufacturers like Weil-McLain, Buderus, Viessmann, and others commonly found in New England homes. Each type of boiler has specific maintenance and repair requirements, so having experience across different systems means we can properly diagnose problems and source the right parts. Whether you have a decades-old system or the latest high-efficiency model, we have the knowledge and tools to service it correctly.

How can I prevent my boiler from breaking down?

Regular annual maintenance is the most effective way to prevent boiler breakdowns. This includes cleaning the system, checking all safety controls, testing the ignition system, and inspecting for leaks or corrosion. You should also monitor your boiler’s performance throughout the heating season – unusual noises, inconsistent heating, or higher than normal energy bills often signal developing problems. Simple steps like keeping the area around your boiler clear, checking that vents aren’t blocked, and not ignoring small issues can prevent major failures. Many problems start small and gradually worsen, so addressing them early through professional servicing typically prevents emergency repairs during the coldest weather.

What should I do if my boiler stops working completely?

First, check that your thermostat is set correctly and has power – sometimes the issue is simpler than it appears. Look at your boiler’s reset button and circuit breaker, but don’t attempt repairs yourself. If these basic checks don’t restore heat, call for professional service immediately rather than trying to troubleshoot further. While waiting for our technician, you can close off unused rooms to conserve heat in main living areas, but avoid using space heaters as primary heating since they can overload circuits or create safety hazards. The sooner you call for professional help, the faster you’ll have heat restored and the less likely you are to face additional complications from a worsening problem.
