Repairs
Boilers
Although most boiler components are quite reliable, they do occasionally fail. Typically when one of your boiler components fails your system will malfunction or stop working completely. Some components on a boiler are considered to be wearable parts, meaning they should be replaced periodically to prevent nuisance shutdowns. Your system may benefit from our preventative maintenance services, click here to learn more.
- ✓ Gas Valves
- ✓ Igniters & Pilots
- ✓ Flame Rods & Thermocouples
- ✓ Transformers
- ✓ Limit Switches
Near Boiler Piping
Near boiler piping consists of piping and components vital for your hydronic heating system to work correctly and efficiently. A problem with one of these components can lead to leaks, system malfunctions or even a complete system failure. Although some components are not condusive to repair, many of them are. In some instances a component simply requires adjustment.
- ✓ Air Vents & Separators
- ✓ Expansion Tanks
- ✓ Zone Valves
- ✓ Relief Valves
- ✓ Boiler Feeds
Circulators
Circulating pumps are the heart of your hydronic heating system. When a circulator fails your system has no way of moving the heat away from the boiler to where it’s needed. A failed circulating pump will often cause a boiler to overheat, which may falsely indicate a problem with your boiler. Most, but not all, circulators are deisgned to be repaired in some capacity.
- ✓ Circulator Pumps
- ✓ Variable Speed Pumps
- ✓ Zone Pumps
- ✓ Pump Sequencers
Radiators & Convectors
If care is taken to not inadvertently damage a radiator or convector they will typically last decades without the need for repair. However there are some wearable components on your radiators or convectors which may fail over time and cause malfunctions or leaks. These parts include air vents, zone valves and isolation valves.
- ✓ Radiators
- ✓ Convectors
- ✓ Radiator Valves
- ✓ Zone Valves

Furnaces
Although the individual components in your furnace are quite realiable it is unlikely that all of them will last the life of your furnace. When one of the components of your furnace fails it is likely that your furnace will malfunction or fail completely. Some components on a furnace are considered to be wearable parts, meaning they should be replaced periodically to prevent nuisance shutdowns.

Fan Coils
Fan Coils are generally simple units comprised of a hydronic heat exchanger, blower, a few basic controls and possibly a pump. If any of the components of your fan coil fails it will malfunction and fail to produce warm air. Typically every component of a fan coil is replaceable or repairable, which means units can be kept in working order for many years, usually even decades.

Garage/Unit Heaters
Garage or unit heaters are pretty much ductless forced-air furnaces. So many of the same principles apply. Like a forced-air furnace, the heater will have both wearable and replaceable parts. Almost every part in a unit heater can be replaced and although most parts are quite reliable, there is a chance that you may experience a failure at some point. Wearable parts will need to be replaced periodically to prevent nuisance shutdowns.
- ✓ Gas Valves
- ✓ Igniters & Pilots
- ✓ Flame Rods & Thermocouples
- ✓ Thermostats
- ✓ Blowers
- ✓ Limit Switches
Fireplaces
Like most heating appliances, fireplaces are quite resilient and can often be repaired. Most of the parts on a fireplace aren’t considered wearable, but they can and do fail occasionally. Fireplaces, although simple, have many parts which must work together in order for the appliance to function correctly. Fireplace failures are often due to a failed thermopile or power switch.
