Boilers can encounter a variety of issues, ranging from leaks and breakdowns to pressure loss and unusual noises. While these problems may seem daunting, many can be resolved through targeted repairs or component replacements.
Our residential boiler repair services commence with a thorough inspection by our HVAC experts in Prince George's County. This assessment allows us to pinpoint the underlying causes of the issues and present you with repair options.
Key indicators that your boiler may require repair include:
- Overheating.
- Unusual noises such as clunking, banging, or hissing.
- Strange smells emanating from the unit (for gas boilers, gas leaks require immediate attention).
- Inability to turn the unit on or off.
- Insufficient hot water supply in your home.
Once the problem is identified, our HVAC professionals undertake various repairs, including:
- Unclogging pipes.
- Adjusting fittings to rectify leaks.
- Restoring pressure or water levels.
- Flushing or cleaning the unit and its components.
- Relighting the pilot light.
- Replacing broken parts.
- Securing or restoring electrical connections.
To maintain your boiler's efficiency and prevent costly repairs, we recommend scheduling annual maintenance services. These services may vary depending on your system type and heating requirements, and we'll provide tailored recommendations after inspecting your unit.
Residential Boiler Replacement: Upgrade for Efficient Home Heating
When your boiler is beyond repair or fails to meet your heating needs, it's time for a replacement. Our expert recommendation includes energy-efficient options tailored to your home.
Boiler replacement becomes necessary if:
- Repairs are frequent or costly.
- The unit is over 15 years old.
- Connected systems take longer to heat.
- Energy bills have significantly increased.
- The heat exchanger is failing or broken.
During the hassle-free replacement process, our skilled team will remove your old unit and install a new one. Should you choose to upgrade your system by switching from steam to hot water or opting for a different fuel type (electric, oil, natural gas, propane), expect a slightly lengthier installation time and possibly higher costs.
Rest assured, Aire Serv® of Prince Georges County prioritizes transparency by providing upfront information about costs, labor processes, and the estimated installation timeline.
