Emma Plumbing And Drain Services has been keeping Westwood homes warm since 2007. We’ve seen every type of boiler problem this area throws at homeowners, from aging systems in older neighborhoods to newer installations that need expert care.
Westwood’s mix of historic homes and modern construction means we work on everything from vintage cast iron systems to high-efficiency condensing boilers. Our team understands the unique challenges Massachusetts winters bring to heating systems.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s actually good news for you. You’re investing in technicians who show up with the right parts, diagnose problems accurately the first time, and stand behind their work with real warranties.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your boiler. Strange noises, no heat, leaks, or higher energy bills all tell us different things about what might be wrong.
Our technician arrives with diagnostic equipment and a truck stocked with common boiler parts. We inspect your system thoroughly, checking pressure levels, examining the heat exchanger, testing safety controls, and identifying the root cause of the problem.
Before any work begins, you get upfront pricing. No surprises, no hidden fees, no “we found something else” after we’re already started. You know exactly what the repair costs before we touch anything.
Once you approve the work, we fix the problem using quality parts designed for your specific boiler model. After repairs, we test the system completely to ensure everything operates safely and efficiently.
Ready to get started?
Our boiler repair services cover everything from emergency breakdowns to routine maintenance that prevents problems before they start. We handle residential systems in Westwood’s family homes and commercial boilers in local businesses.
Emergency repairs get priority response, especially during Massachusetts’ coldest months when heating failures can’t wait. We’re available 24/7 because boiler problems don’t stick to business hours.
Westwood’s older homes often have boilers that have been running for decades. We know these systems inside and out, from the reliable workhorses that just need minor adjustments to units that have reached the end of their useful life and need replacement recommendations.
For newer, high-efficiency boilers, we provide the specialized knowledge needed to maintain optimal performance and protect your investment in modern heating technology.
Most boiler repairs in Westwood range from $200 to $600, depending on what needs fixing. Simple issues like thermostat problems or minor leaks cost less, while major component replacements like heat exchangers or pumps cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know the exact cost. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job is done. If your boiler is over 15 years old and needs expensive repairs, we’ll also discuss whether replacement might be more cost-effective long-term.
Emergency service calls don’t cost extra, even on nights, weekends, or holidays. You pay the same rate whether your boiler breaks down Tuesday afternoon or Saturday night during a snowstorm.
The most frequent issues we see in Westwood are frozen condensate pipes, pilot light problems, and pressure loss. Massachusetts’ cold winters can freeze the condensate pipe that carries water away from your boiler, causing the system to shut down.
Pilot lights go out due to drafts, dirty sensors, or thermocouple failures. You’ll notice this when your boiler won’t fire up at all. Low pressure often results from small leaks in the system or faulty pressure relief valves.
Strange noises like banging, whistling, or gurgling usually indicate air trapped in the system or mineral buildup on the heat exchanger. These problems get worse over time if not addressed, eventually leading to complete system failure during the coldest weather.
We prioritize emergency boiler calls and typically arrive within a few hours, even during peak winter demand. Our trucks are stocked with common boiler parts, so many repairs can be completed the same day.
During severe weather or when multiple emergencies hit at once, response times may extend slightly, but we keep customers informed about realistic timeframes. We never leave you guessing when help will arrive.
For true emergencies where you have no heat and vulnerable family members, we coordinate with other local resources if needed to ensure you have temporary heating solutions while we work on permanent repairs.
Never attempt boiler repairs yourself. Boilers operate under high pressure with hot water or steam, and many use natural gas or oil as fuel. One mistake can cause serious injury, property damage, or even carbon monoxide poisoning.
Simple maintenance like checking water levels or bleeding radiators can be done safely by homeowners, but actual repairs require licensed technicians. We have the training, tools, and experience to work safely on pressurized heating systems.
DIY boiler repairs also void manufacturer warranties and may violate local building codes. Insurance companies may deny claims for damage caused by unlicensed work. The money you think you’re saving often costs much more when something goes wrong.
Annual boiler maintenance is essential in Massachusetts, ideally scheduled in early fall before the heating season begins. This timing ensures your system is ready for winter’s demands and gives you time to address any issues before cold weather hits.
During maintenance, we clean components, test safety systems, check for leaks, and verify proper operation. This prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your boiler running efficiently, which saves money on energy bills.
Older boilers or systems that work harder due to poor insulation may benefit from twice-yearly service. We’ll recommend the right schedule based on your specific boiler’s age, condition, and usage patterns.
All boiler repairs come with our 1-year labor warranty, which covers the work we performed. If the same problem occurs within a year due to our workmanship, we return and fix it at no charge.
Parts warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 1-5 years depending on the component. We use quality replacement parts from reputable suppliers, not cheap alternatives that fail quickly.
Our warranty doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or problems caused by lack of maintenance, but it does protect you from defective parts or installation issues. We stand behind our work because we want you as a long-term customer, not a one-time service call.
