Boiler Installations
From radiators to the boiler chimney to the boiler itself, we can install all of the components necessary to heat your space. We’ll work with you to determine the demands of your building, and we can recommend an appropriate boiler size, if you’d like. Then, we can determine the best placement for radiator units throughout your home or building. And finally, we’ll get to work installing the plumbing necessary to connect to these units, and the boiler unit itself. We have the experience and proper tools to make quick work of a boiler installation, and you can rest assured that your boiler will be installed safely and properly to provide efficient heat for your building.
Boiler Repairs
When your boiler isn’t operating as it should, you can be left in the cold. Fortunately, with some troubleshooting, we should be able to assess the source of the issue, and we’ll get to work right away to ensure that your boiler is back in operation as soon as possible. We can perform any necessary repairs that you may need throughout your boiler and radiator system, and we can perform a boiler replacement, if your boiler is at the end of its service life. We’ve also listed a few common boiler problems below, so that you can understand the source of these issues.
Common Boiler Problems
From gas and oil furnace service to thermostat repair, we do it all. Again, we provide both installations and repairs for a variety of HVAC components. Count on us for furnace service, AC and heat pump service, air quality unit service, installations, thermostat service, zone control system installations, and custom ductwork installs.
Loss of pressure in the boiler system
Your boiler should maintain pressure to keep heat circulating through the system. If you lose that pressure, you’ll lose the heating capability of your boiler, and you can lose water in the system, which will lead to further problems if your boiler continues to run. If there is a leak throughout your boiler system and you’ve lost pressure to your radiators, then you’ll need to have a technician over to perform repairs.
Leaks
Like the rest of the plumbing in your building, your boiler system shouldn’t spring a leak. If you’ve noticed that you have leaking pipes, radiators, or your boiler is leaking, then you’ll need to repair or replace these components. If you can’t locate the source of the leak, we’d be happy to take a look and perform a repair.
Poor Heat Through The Radiators or Baseboards
If you’re not getting consistent heat throughout the radiators or baseboards throughout your home or building, then you may have an issue with the boiler or the radiator units themselves. You may have a buildup in your radiator or along the line of your boiler plumbing. Or, as we mentioned, your boiler may no longer be operating efficiently. Regardless of the issue at hand, we can take a look to assess the source of the problem.
More Boiler Problems
Kettling
“Kettling” is a term that describes when hot water cannot escape your boiler. This happens when there is a blockage throughout the boiler and radiator system, which will keep the heated water from circulating as it should. This is a serious issue, since it can make your boiler dangerous, and the boiler may continue to run, since the thermostat will still indicate that your home or building is too cool. If you notice that your boiler is kettling (which will be indicated by a whistling noise from the boiler), then you should turn off your boiler at the thermostat, and contact a boiler technician to take a look.
Boiler Noises
Your boiler should be relatively quiet as it operates. While you will hear a whooshing sound while your boiler is on (thanks to the flame of your boiler), and you may hear small crackling and popping noises throughout your radiators as they heat up, there are other sounds that should be concerning. Be mindful that a whistling boiler is a sign of kettling — as we just mentioned. Also, be wary of bubbling, clunks, and other odd noises which may be a sign that a component is loose in your boiler, or you have a blockage somewhere throughout the system. You can describe the boiler noises that you’re hearing to us, and we’ll assess the issue at hand.
Thermostat Problems
Your thermostat is responsible for measuring the temperature of your home in order to turn on your boiler at a set temperature. If you have a thermostat that is uncalibrated, or simply not working altogether, then you may have poor heat in your home, or your boiler may not turn on at all. If you suspect that your thermostat is the source of an issue, we can take a look. We may be able to recalibrate your thermostat, we may recommend moving the unit, or we may have to replace the unit with a more current model.

Safety
One of the main reasons prompt boiler repairs are essential is safety. A malfunctioning boiler can pose serious risks, including gas leaks, carbon monoxide leaks, or potential explosions.

Our experienced technicians at JDL HVAC and Plumbing are trained to identify and resolve any safety concerns associated with your boiler system.

By addressing any issues promptly, our local plumbers can ensure that your boiler is operating at its optimal efficiency, reducing energy waste and saving you money in the long run.
