Boiler Repair Service
Our team of boiler technicians can assist in replacing boiler parts and completing other boiler repairs to restore your home's heating and hot water system. It's important to solve issues early on as they pop up to minimize any damage to your property.
Signs Your Boiler Needs Repair
Don't wait until you have a significant emergency on your hands to get your boiler the repairs needed. While regular maintenance will help things work the way they should, understanding some of the common signs that your boiler needs repair can prove very useful.
Water Leaks
Boiler water leaks are never good. While some homeowners think they can simply patch leaks up and move on, most boiler leaks result from more extensive issues such as corrosion, poor installation, broken seals, or even damaged valves and pumps. Leaks need to be inspected and repaired by a professional technician to restore heat and prevent future water damage.
Unusual Smells
If odd smells are coming from your boiler or boiler room, contact your local boiler technicians right away. While the pungent smell of rotten eggs resulting from bacteria growth in the boiler is not a sign of immediate danger, the smell of natural gas or propane coming from your gas-fueled boiler is. In this case, turn off your gas and water supplies and give our team a call for help.
Strange Sounds
While some popping and rumbling may cause you to jump in the night, odd furnace noises don't present any immediate danger. However, excessive kettling, gurgling, or whistling should be brought to the attention of a professional boiler technician as soon as possible to address the limescale build-up, trapped air, or blockage causing the issue.
No Heat / No Hot Water
You wake up and wobble to the shower only to notice no hot water and a cold house. While these are obvious signs repair is needed, these are common and should be dealt with quickly. Whether the diaphragm, valve, thermostat, or some other part of the boiler is broken, we'll quickly complete the proper replacements and repairs.
Water is Not Getting Hot (Enough)
If the water in your boiler is not hot enough to heat your home effectively, or your water is coming out lukewarm, there could be a number of reasons why this is happening. Whether your thermostat or heating element needs to be replaced, help from a professional technician will be useful in locating the cause and finding a solution.
Increase in Energy Bill
A sudden and unexplained spike in your energy bill could be a sign that your boiler needs to be serviced. While an older, less energy-efficient model may be approaching its end of days, and will soon need a replacement, many other reasons for an increase in boiler operating costs can be repaired quickly by a professional team.
Boiler Turns Off for No Reason
If your boiler is randomly shutting off in the middle of the night, request an inspection right away. This unreliability of your boiler system can be caused by a number of things including a faulty thermostat, leaks in your system, or even a faulty pump!
Is It Worth Repairing a Boiler?
When you're debating whether to repair or replace your boiler, you may be wondering if repairing your boiler is even worth it in the first place. This is a valid question that we're asked quite a bit. Still, the answer depends on several factors, including the cost of repairs, how frequent repairs have become, and the age of your boiler. Your local One Hour boiler technician can work with you to determine if repairing your boiler is the best move to make.
How Long Do Boilers Last?
Boilers can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, even longer with regular maintenance from a professional technician. Some of the things that can decrease the lifespan of your home's boiler are improper installation or being too big or small for your property.
How Much Does a Boiler Repair Cost?
The cost of boiler repairs typically ranges anywhere from $200 to $800, depending on the type of repair that needs to be performed. While sediment cleaning and flushing will be on the lower end, faulty part replacements and repairs will naturally cost more. Either way, turning to One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning will ensure you're dealing with competitive pricing and a team ready to help you make the best choice.

Signs Your Boiler Needs to be Replaced
Rarely ever do boilers go out without making some sort of statement beforehand through various common warning signs. Be on the lookout for these signs to have your boiler replaced before future service calls and damage repair is needed!
Older Boiler
A properly maintained boiler will last, on average, 15 years. If your boiler is approaching this threshold or is older than 15 years, it's time to consider a replacement before it chooses to break down.
Energy Efficiency is Poor
One of the best ways to save on energy costs is by replacing your current boiler. Our boiler technicians can help you choose the best make, model, and size with your specific property in mind.
Takes Too Long to Heat Up
One of the most common signs of a failing boiler is the water taking too long to heat up as it ages. If this is the case, it's best to have your heating system inspected sooner rather than later to determine if the repair is needed.
Carbon Monoxide Presence
If your carbon monoxide alarm has alerted you of CO in your home, there's a chance it's due to your boiler's heat exchange going bad. Carbon monoxide leaks in boilers need to be taken seriously and dealt with by a professional at the first sign.
Leakage
If your boiler is leaking due to excessive corrosion, poor maintenance, or other physical damage, there's a chance that you'll have to replace your entire boiler to get things back to normal. This tends to be the most cost-effective solution and reduces the chance of dealing with water and moisture damage throughout the home.
Poor Heat Distribution
While poor heat distribution could be caused by a blockage in the system that simply needs to be removed, it could also mean it's time for a replacement. If you're not getting heat in the living room, bedroom, or other areas of the house but are in some areas, our team can get to the bottom of it.
Continuous Repairs
If you're finding that you constantly call out local heating companies to repair your boiler, or the costs of repairs are simply getting out of hand, choosing to replace your boiler may be the best choice to ensure future comfort around your home.
Can I Install My Own Boiler?
It's important to never attempt to install a boiler on your own. Why? It can be extremely dangerous, plus it can even be illegal to install gas boilers in your home in some places! Additionally, choosing to have DIY boiler installation work completed instead of turning to an accredited HVAC technician can even mark your manufacturer warranties void.
How Much Does a Boiler Replacement and Installation Cost?
To date, the national average costs around $5,700 per boiler replacement or installation. Similar to repairs, boiler installation costs can depend on a few key things, such as any costs of new construction, safety inspections, or equipment upgrades that are needed.
