Our Boiler Service Benefits

We take pride in providing efficient, timely service to resolve your boiler issues. When you hire us to perform boiler repair services, you can expect some or all of the following benefits:

• Prompt service: We know that boiler issues can quickly go from a minor inconvenience to a major problem. Our team treats every issue seriously and will work with you to schedule the earliest available appointment time.
• Extended boiler lifespan: The issues plaguing a boiler often stem from a single broken component or improper cleaning. When you hire us to repair your boiler, we'll fix the issue, potentially adding years to the boiler's lifespan.
• Increased boiler efficiency: A boiler full of sediment won't work nearly as well as a clean one. After we repair your boiler, it will heat your home faster and consume less energy.

How Boilers Work

Boilers are an effective, energy-efficient way to keep your home warm and cozy. They consist of a heating unit (the boiler) and a network of pipes running through the walls and floors of the building.

Similar to water heaters, boilers are powered by either gas or electricity. But instead of storing the hot water for on-demand use, they circulate it through your home's pipes. When the hot water moves through the pipes in your walls and floors, the radiant heat warms your home. Since they don't require fans or blowers, they provide more consistent heating throughout the building.

During the warmer months, you can shut off the boiler to reduce your electrical bill and keep the house cooler.

Common Issues with Boilers

Boilers are prone to the same issues as water heaters. The constant heating of water can lead to mineral deposits and excess pressure. These problems can manifest in a variety of ways, some of the most common being:

• Low water levels
• Pipe leaks
• Broken thermostats
• Pressure issues
• Pilot light malfunction

The helpful professionals at Mr. Rooter Plumbing have the expertise to address all of these issues.

Boiler Service FAQs

What are the Signs of a Faulty Boiler?

Boilers are not immune to issues. Some signs that you have a faulty boiler include:

• Leaks: Leaking is a clear sign that you need to repair or replace the boiler. Left alone, a leak can lead to severe water damage, a risk of fire, and other problems.
• Pressure problems: If your boiler pressure falls, it's likely due to a leak in the system. In this case, you'll need to shut off the boiler's water supply and find the leak. Conversely, if your boiler pressure rises too high, you may have a clog somewhere in the system. If this is the case, stop using the boiler immediately, as high pressure can cause the boiler to rupture or explode.
• Inadequate heating: This is not a severe issue, but a boiler that doesn't get hot enough serves no purpose. All it does is waste your money and deliver lukewarm water throughout the home.
• Odd noises: If you hear popping or rumbling noises coming from your boiler, it may be full of sediment. To fix it, you need to have your boiler flushed and refilled.
• Marks or smells: If you see dark marks around your boiler or notice it smells odd, you might be dealing with a gas leak. This puts you at risk of fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning. As soon as you notice either of these signs shut off the boiler and call a professional.
