We offer same-day service for most boiler emergencies in Halifax. During peak winter months, we prioritize calls based on urgency – no heat situations get handled first. We typically arrive within a few hours of your call, and our technicians carry common boiler parts on their trucks so many repairs can be completed immediately. If you’re completely without heat, we’ll walk you through temporary safety measures over the phone while we’re on our way.
In Halifax, we see many issues related to older cast iron radiators and aging boiler systems. The most common problems include faulty thermostats, circulation pump failures, and pressure relief valve issues. Many homes in historic areas have boilers that are 15–20 years old and need regular maintenance. We also see problems with frozen pipes affecting boiler operation, especially in homes near the water or in areas with poor insulation.
If your boiler is over 15 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement might make more sense financially. However, many boiler problems can be resolved cost-effectively. Warning signs that need immediate attention include strange noises, uneven heating, higher than normal energy bills, or visible leaks around the unit. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.
Yes, we service all major boiler types, including gas, oil, and electric systems. We work on both older cast iron boilers common in Halifax’s historic homes and newer high-efficiency condensing boilers. Our technicians are trained on brands like Weil-McLain, Burnham, Crown, and others. Whether you have a steam or hot water system, we have the experience and parts to get it running properly.
First, check your thermostat settings and make sure your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Look for any obvious leaks or error codes on the boiler display. If everything looks normal but you still have no heat, call us immediately. While waiting for service, keep interior doors open to circulate any remaining warm air, and if temperatures drop significantly, let faucets drip slightly to prevent frozen pipes. Don’t attempt to repair the boiler yourself—modern systems have safety features that require professional attention.
Regular annual maintenance is the best prevention. We recommend scheduling service before the heating season starts, typically in early fall. This includes cleaning, testing safety controls, checking for leaks, and assuring proper water pressure. Keep the area around your boiler clear, change filters regularly if your system has them, and pay attention to unusual noises or performance changes. Our Dempsey Comfort Club membership includes priority scheduling for maintenance and can help you stay on top of preventive care.
