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.

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.

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.

I have the protection plan and Tim did a great job of checking my plumbing systems and making some good recommendations in the annual review. They have also replaced my water heater and performed boiler maintenance. Both jobs were done very well and quickly. Highly recommended!

Boston Standard has always been responsive whenever I have called them, and unfortunately I have had to call them a lot over AC and furnace issues. They respond in a timely manner and when there was a difficult problem they stayed with it until it was resolved to my satisfaction. I have faith and trust in their technicians. I have retained them to do maintenance on my boiler, AC and furnace.

The previous owner installed the boiler to our rental unit with no drain, vent, or skim. Boston Standard has put all these on so that we can properly maintain the boiler.

Answers to Common Boiler Repair & Maintenance Questions

What maintenance does a boiler need?

A boiler may last for decades when properly serviced. An annual maintenance tune-up for boilers allows a trained HVAC technician to inspect the system for proper functioning. Boiler maintenance includes cleaning, ensuring intact wiring, checking water levels, and inspecting all aspects of the system for leakage, rusting, or other boiler repair issues.

What can cause a boiler to stop working?

If a boiler has stopped providing heat altogether, it may be due to any number of reasons, including the thermostat being set wrong or malfunctioning, a blown fuse, a problem with the pilot light, a dead ignitor, or a pump issue.

Can I repair my own boiler?

While it’s technically not illegal to repair your own boiler, this is a job best left to trained and experienced technicians. The risks of doing DIY boiler repairs are huge, and if you do not have the training or skills necessary, you could unintentionally cause an explosion or gas leak, which could lead to criminal charges. It is better to let a professional handle your boiler repairs, for the safety of everyone.
