You’re not just dealing with a broken boiler. You’re dealing with a cold house, worried family members, and the nagging fear that this repair won’t last through another brutal Massachusetts winter.
That stress disappears when we arrive. We don’t patch problems—we solve them completely so you can stop worrying about your heating system failing again next month.
Your home stays consistently warm. Your family stays comfortable. Your boiler runs efficiently, cutting those painful winter energy bills that seem to climb higher every year. Most importantly, you sleep well knowing your heating system actually works when you need it most.
We’ve been handling boiler emergencies in Somerville since 2007. We’ve repaired every type of heating system this area throws at homeowners—from century-old radiator systems in Davis Square triple-deckers to high-efficiency condensing boilers in Porter Square condos.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience. It’s showing up when we say we will, diagnosing problems correctly the first time, and giving you straight answers about what needs fixing versus what’s just a nice-to-have upgrade.
Somerville winters don’t wait for convenient business hours. That’s why our emergency boiler repair service operates 24/7 with the same upfront pricing and quality workmanship you’d get on a Tuesday afternoon. No weekend surcharges, no emergency fees—just reliable service when your family needs heat most.
We start by arriving quickly—typically within 2-4 hours of your call, not sometime next week when it’s convenient for us. Our technician performs a complete diagnostic to identify exactly what’s causing your heating problems, not just the obvious symptoms you can see.
You receive a clear explanation of what’s wrong and an upfront price quote before we touch anything. No surprise charges when we’re done, no pressure tactics to approve expensive work you don’t understand, no hidden fees that magically appear on your bill.
Once you approve the repair, we fix it right using quality parts that last through multiple heating seasons. We test everything thoroughly, walk you through what we did, and make sure your boiler is ready for whatever winter weather hits Somerville next.

Our boiler repair services handle everything from middle-of-the-night emergencies to preventive maintenance that keeps small issues from becoming expensive disasters. We repair all boiler types—gas, oil, and electric—whether you’re dealing with strange noises, uneven heating, water leaks, or complete system failures.
Every repair includes our 1-year labor warranty because we stand behind our work. If something goes wrong with our repair within twelve months, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s not standard in this industry, but it should be.
Somerville’s unique mix of historic homes and modern construction means we regularly service everything from 1920s cast iron radiator systems to brand-new high-efficiency units. We stock parts for major boiler brands and complete most repairs the same day, even for older systems that make other contractors scratch their heads and schedule return visits.
We typically arrive for emergency boiler calls in Somerville within 2-4 hours, often sooner depending on technician availability and your specific location. We understand boiler failures don’t follow normal business hours—they usually happen during the coldest nights when your family needs heat most urgently.
Our emergency service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When you call our emergency line, you speak directly with our dispatch team who provides an accurate arrival time based on current conditions and technician locations.
We prioritize calls where there’s no heat at all, especially for homes with elderly residents, young children, or anyone with medical conditions requiring consistent indoor temperatures. Your comfort and safety aren’t something we take lightly.
Our boiler repair pricing includes the complete diagnostic evaluation, all labor to complete the repair, and standard replacement parts needed to get your system working properly. You receive an upfront quote before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying with no surprise charges.
The diagnostic process involves thoroughly checking your boiler’s heat exchanger, control systems, safety mechanisms, venting components, and water circulation. If we discover multiple issues, we prioritize them based on safety concerns and cost-effectiveness for your specific situation.
Our 1-year labor warranty covers all work we perform, and parts carry their respective manufacturer warranties. If something goes wrong with our repair within the warranty period, we return and fix it at no additional cost to you.
Absolutely. We regularly service older boiler systems throughout Somerville, including cast iron radiator systems, older oil-fired units, and steam heating systems that are common in the area’s historic neighborhoods. Many of these older systems are actually built to last decades with proper maintenance and care.
We maintain inventory for older systems and work with specialty suppliers for hard-to-find components when needed. When original parts aren’t available anymore, we can often recommend modern equivalents that integrate properly with your existing system without requiring major modifications.
However, if your boiler is over 20-25 years old and requiring frequent expensive repairs, we’ll give you honest advice about whether continued repairs make financial sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective for your long-term comfort and budget.
Yes, and regular boiler maintenance is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home’s heating system. Annual maintenance typically saves homeowners 10-15% on heating bills and can extend your boiler’s operational lifespan by several years.
Our comprehensive maintenance service includes cleaning the heat exchanger, testing all safety controls, inspecting the venting system, checking for leaks, and adjusting settings for optimal efficiency. We also identify potential problems before they cause expensive breakdowns or leave you without heat.
We recommend scheduling maintenance in late summer or early fall, before you need your heating system for winter. This timing allows us to address any issues during our slower season when parts are readily available and scheduling is more flexible for both of us.
The most frequent issues we encounter are circulation pump failures, thermostat malfunctions, and low water pressure problems—all of which can leave you completely without heat. We also regularly see problems with aging expansion tanks and zone valves in multi-zone heating systems.
In Somerville’s older homes, we often find issues related to deferred maintenance, such as sediment buildup in heat exchangers or corroded pipes affecting water circulation. These problems typically develop gradually over months or years but can cause sudden, complete system failures.
During extremely cold weather periods, we see increased calls for frozen pipes affecting boiler operation, especially in homes with inadequate insulation or heating systems that have been running inefficiently and can’t keep up with demand.
Generally, if your boiler is under 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the replacement price, repair makes financial sense. For older systems, we evaluate repair frequency, overall efficiency, and any safety concerns before making recommendations.
Immediate warning signs requiring repair include unusual noises, water leaks around the unit, uneven heating throughout your home, or frequent cycling on and off. These symptoms typically worsen rapidly and can lead to complete system failure if ignored.
If you’re facing a major repair like a cracked heat exchanger on a boiler over 20 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense long-term. We provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget, not what generates the highest profit for our business.
