Our boiler repair services cover everything from emergency breakdowns to routine maintenance. We handle gas, oil, and high-efficiency systems, working with all major brands and models commonly found in Cambridge homes.
Cambridge’s harsh winters put extra stress on heating systems, especially in older homes where boilers work overtime to maintain comfortable temperatures. We see this daily, which is why our service includes thorough system inspections to catch potential problems before they leave you without heat.
Every repair comes with our 1-year labor warranty, and we offer 7-day warranties on drain cleaning services. For new customers, we include a free main sewer line camera inspection to help you understand your entire system’s condition. This preventative approach helps Cambridge homeowners avoid costly emergency repairs during peak winter months.
We offer 24/7 emergency service and typically respond within 2-4 hours during normal conditions. During severe weather or peak demand periods, response times may extend slightly, but we prioritize emergency calls where customers have no heat.
Our service vehicles are fully stocked with common boiler parts, which means we can often complete repairs on the first visit. When you call, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe and keep you updated if conditions change.
For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule same-day or next-day appointments. Cambridge winters don’t wait, so neither do we.
The most frequent issues we encounter are low water pressure, strange noises like banging or gurgling, and systems that won’t reach the set temperature. These problems often stem from air trapped in the system, failing circulation pumps, or thermostat malfunctions.
We also see a lot of efficiency problems in older Cambridge homes where boilers are working much harder than they should. Dirty heat exchangers, clogged vents, and worn components force systems to run constantly, driving up energy costs.
Water leaks around the unit are another common call, especially in homes with aging pipes or boilers that haven’t had regular maintenance. The key is addressing these issues quickly before they turn into major repairs or system failures.
This depends on several factors: the age of your system, frequency of repairs, and energy efficiency. If your boiler is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
Older systems often operate at 60% efficiency or less, while new high-efficiency units achieve 90%+ efficiency. In Cambridge’s expensive energy market, this efficiency difference can cut your heating bills significantly, often paying for the new system within a few years.
We’ll always give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. If a repair will get you through another few seasons reliably, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a failing system, we’ll explain why replacement is the smarter choice.
Yes, all our boiler repair work comes with a 1-year labor warranty. This covers the workmanship and ensures that if something goes wrong with the repair itself, we’ll fix it at no additional cost to you.
Parts warranties vary depending on the manufacturer, but we use high-quality components and will explain the specific warranty coverage for any parts we install. For drain cleaning services, we provide a 7-day warranty.
We stand behind our work because we want you to have confidence in your heating system. If you have any issues after we complete a repair, just call us and we’ll make it right.
Regular maintenance is the most effective prevention strategy. We recommend annual boiler tune-ups before the heating season begins, ideally in early fall. This allows us to catch potential problems while you still have time to address them.
Keep an eye on warning signs like unusual noises, uneven heating, or higher than normal energy bills. These often indicate developing problems that are much cheaper to fix before they cause a complete breakdown.
Simple things like keeping the area around your boiler clear, checking that vents aren’t blocked, and knowing where your system’s shut-off valves are located can also help prevent emergencies and minimize damage if something does go wrong.
First, check your thermostat settings and make sure the system is actually calling for heat. Look for any obvious issues like tripped circuit breakers or pilot lights that have gone out. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately and call the gas company.
If everything appears normal but you still have no heat, turn off the system and call us for emergency service. Don’t try to restart the boiler multiple times or attempt repairs yourself, as this can sometimes make the problem worse or create safety hazards.
While you wait for service, you can help preserve heat by closing off unused rooms and using temporary heating sources safely. We’ll get to you as quickly as possible and have you back up and running.
