A faulty boiler can be incredibly dangerous. If you smell gas, experience headaches or nausea, or notice a yellow pilot light, call Boston Standard Company immediately. It is possible for a boiler to spill carbon monoxide into a building without proper precautions.
If you notice any warning signs from your boiler, like rumbling noises or rusting, we’ll send a qualified technician out to diagnose and repair the problem. All of our fully licensed and insured HVAC techs travel with fully stocked trucks, so they’re more likely to repair your boiler with the needed materials on the spot than other companies!
When properly maintained, your boiler could last you upwards of 25 years with minimal need for repairs or emergency work. It’s vital to perform an annual tune-up for your home or office boiler to maximize the lifespan of the equipment and prevent any issues from worsening.
When you need to make sure your boiler is working properly through the harsh Massachusetts winters, we’re The Company You Count On.
We’re available 24/7 to help you! Call now: (617) 288-2911

Residential & Commercial Boiler Repair
Boilers operate differently from furnaces—they heat a building by generating hot water or steam from fuel. That heated water is then distributed throughout a home or business through radiators or radiant flooring. Because boilers operate at very high temperatures, they used to be relatively unsafe and explosive. Did you know that in the 1800s, there were thousands of boiler explosions in the U.S. and Europe? Thankfully, modern-day safety codes have made boiler use in homes and facilities much safer. Because of the expertise needed to safely work on boilers, we urge you to never do DIY work on your boiler yourself. Make sure to call Boston Standard Company for any residential or commercial boiler repair and maintenance.
Don’t Ignore Your Boiler—Call a Professional Today
Boiler problems tend to get worse as time goes on if they’re left untreated. While boilers are known for their reliability and durability, you don’t want to take this for granted and neglect proper maintenance. If you hear any strange sounds or notice any unusual conditions, like cold spots or water leaks, make sure to call in a Boston Standard professional right away—so the problem doesn’t get worse.
Signs your boiler may need repair or maintenance:
- If your boiler is leaking water, it could cause a drop in water pressure, which could lead to more serious issues like structural damage.
- If you hear a rumbling sound like a boiling kettle, this may mean there is limescale buildup, which may restrict the flow of water, making it harder for the boiler to work.
- If the boiler is on but the building is not receiving heat, it may be due to problems with the pump, rusty pipes, or air buildup.
