No heat production is the most obvious emergency sign, especially during Foxborough’s cold winter months. If your boiler won’t start or keeps shutting off, you need immediate professional attention to prevent pipes from freezing.
Strange sounds like banging, whistling, or grinding indicate serious mechanical problems that can worsen quickly. These noises often signal issues with pumps, fans, or internal components that require immediate diagnosis.
Water leaks around your boiler, unusual odors, or dramatically higher energy bills also warrant emergency service. Leaks can cause water damage and indicate pressure problems, while gas odors pose safety risks that demand immediate professional response.
