BOILER SERVICE AND REPAIR FAQS

What is a boiler, and how does it work?

A residential boiler is a type of heating system that heats a water/glycol mixture from 100-180 degrees and circulates it through baseboards, radiators, under the floor, or air handlers.

What are some common signs that my boiler may need repair?

Signs include unusual noises, leaking, inefficiency, an unlit pilot light, the boiler switching itself off, maintenance required or lockout displays, and your home not warming up sufficiently.

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

We recommend servicing your boiler annually to ensure it operates efficiently and safely. Given the severe winter conditions in the Lake Tahoe area, consider scheduling a check-up before the cold season starts.

Can I perform boiler repairs myself?

We strongly advise against DIY repairs on boilers due to the risk of carbon monoxide leakage, fire hazards, and voiding your warranty. It’s best to leave repairs to certified professionals.

What can I do to help maintain my boiler and prevent the need for repairs?

Regular professional maintenance is key. However, you can also keep an eye on the boiler’s pressure, bleed your radiators to ensure they’re working properly, keep glycol feeders full, and keep your boiler and its surroundings clean.

My boiler isn't providing enough heat. What could be the problem?

This could be due to various issues, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a problem with the circulator, a closed valve, or a more complex mechanical issue. A professional inspection is needed to determine the exact cause.

How does altitude affect my boiler's performance?

Altitude can affect boilers as lower oxygen levels can affect combustion efficiency. It’s important to have a boiler that’s correctly adjusted for high altitudes to ensure optimal performance. The boilers we install are specially designed, high-altitude models. After installation, we use a combustion analyzer to dial them in even more!

Is it better to repair or replace my boiler?

This depends on several factors, including the boiler’s age, repair history, and the cost of the repair versus a new unit. If your boiler is more than 20-25 years old and requires frequent or expensive repairs, replacing it might be more cost-effective.

What is included in your boiler service and repair offerings?

Our services include a thorough inspection of your boiler, identifying any issues, repairing those issues, and checking the overall performance post-repair. We also provide maintenance advice to prevent future problems.

Does a boiler provide both heating and hot water?

Yes, most boilers are designed to provide both central heating and hot water. The boiler heats up water that is then transported to radiators or underfloor heating systems around the home. It also heats water for faucets and showers.
