Our Boiler Repair Process

Here's How We Handle Your Repair

When you call about a boiler problem, the first step is getting someone to your home quickly. Emergency situations get priority scheduling, especially during cold weather.

Our technician starts with a complete system diagnostic. This means checking not just the obvious problem, but testing all the components that could be causing the issue. Boiler problems often have multiple contributing factors, and missing one means the repair won’t hold.

Once the diagnosis is complete, you get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what needs to be fixed. No technical jargon or overselling. Just straightforward information about the repair options and what each one costs. After you approve the work, the repair gets completed with quality parts that match your system’s specifications.

What's Included in Every Repair

Every boiler repair starts with thorough system testing to identify all issues, not just the most obvious ones. This includes checking the heat exchanger, circulator pumps, expansion tank, pressure relief valve, and all safety controls.

The repair work covers whatever your system needs to run properly again. That might be replacing a failed circulator pump, fixing a cracked heat exchanger, or addressing multiple smaller issues that are affecting performance. All replacement parts are sourced to match your boiler’s specifications.

South Duxbury homes often have older boiler systems that require specific expertise. Our technicians understand how these systems were originally designed to work and what modifications might be needed to improve reliability. You also get guidance on maintenance steps that can prevent similar problems in the future.

Emergency boiler calls get priority scheduling, especially during cold weather when your family’s comfort and safety are at risk. Response time depends on the current service load and weather conditions, but our goal is to get a technician to your home as quickly as possible. During extreme cold snaps, we prioritize calls based on urgency, with no heat situations getting first priority. When you call, you’ll get an honest timeframe for when help can arrive, not just a generic promise.
This depends on several factors: the age of your boiler, the cost of the current repair, and the overall condition of the system. Generally, if your boiler is over 15 years old and needs major component replacement, replacement might make more sense financially. However, many boiler problems can be repaired cost-effectively even on older systems. Our technician will assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your home and budget. You’ll get the information you need to make the right decision.
The most common issues are circulator pump failures, expansion tank problems, and thermostat malfunctions. New England’s hard water also causes mineral buildup that can clog heat exchangers and reduce efficiency over time. Older homes in South Duxbury often have boilers that haven’t received regular maintenance, which leads to small problems becoming major failures. Cold weather puts extra stress on all system components, so issues that might not cause problems in milder climates become critical here. Regular maintenance catches most of these problems before they cause complete system failure.
A properly completed boiler repair should last for years, not months. The longevity depends on what was repaired and the overall condition of your system. For example, a new circulator pump should run for 10-15 years, while a repaired heat exchanger might last 5-8 years depending on water quality and maintenance. The key is identifying and fixing all related issues during the repair, not just the most obvious problem. When only the symptom gets addressed, you’ll likely face another breakdown within the same heating season. Quality repairs address root causes and use appropriate replacement parts.
Yes, our technicians work on all major boiler types including gas, oil, and electric systems. This includes both older cast iron boilers common in South Duxbury’s historic homes and newer high-efficiency condensing units. Each type of system has its own specific requirements and common failure points. We carry parts and have experience with brands like Weil-McLain, Burnham, Crown, and others commonly found in South Shore homes. Whether your boiler is a simple hot water system or a more complex steam setup, our technicians have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair it properly.
First, check that your thermostat is set correctly and that power is reaching the unit. Look for any obvious issues like tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. If the system still won’t start, don’t attempt to repair it yourself – boiler systems involve gas lines, electrical components, and high-pressure water that can be dangerous to work on without proper training. Call for emergency service instead. While waiting for our technician, you can help by clearing access to the boiler and locating any system documentation or maintenance records. Avoid repeatedly trying to restart the system, as this can sometimes make the problem worse.
