Service
Heating & Boilers
Boiler and hot water heating service, repair and replacement, plus radiator, baseboard and zone work for older North Jersey houses.
What this is
Heating & Boilers across North Jersey
We service, repair and replace residential heating: gas and oil fired boilers, circulators and zone valves, expansion tanks, low water cutoffs, aquastats and thermostats, cast iron radiators and steam vents, baseboard loops, and the piping that ties all of it together. New boiler installations are quoted free.
The calls come in two shapes. The first is no heat, usually on the first genuinely cold night of the year, when a circulator that has been groaning since March finally stops. The second is uneven heat: one room that never warms up, a second floor that overheats while the first floor stays cold, banging pipes, or a boiler that short cycles and runs the gas bill up without ever satisfying the thermostat.
Houses here are full of heating systems that were converted, extended and rezoned by three different contractors. A one pipe steam system with a zone of baseboard grafted onto it behaves badly, and no amount of thermostat adjusting fixes it. We look at how the system is actually piped before condemning a boiler, because plenty of boilers get replaced over a thirty dollar zone valve.
Heating and plumbing under the same license means the water side and the heat side are not two separate phone calls. Licensed and insured, work to New Jersey code.
The process
How this service actually runs
- 01
Get heat back on
On a no-heat call in winter, restoring heat comes first and diagnosis follows.
- 02
Read the whole system
Boiler, circulator, zones and piping, because the fault is often not in the boiler.
- 03
Repair or replace, priced
You see both numbers when a system is close to the end, not just the one we prefer.
- 04
Balance and test
Zones checked under real load so the cold room is actually warm before we leave.
Questions
Heating & Boilers questions we get asked
Not sure this is the work you need? Call and describe what is happening.
My boiler is old. Repair or replace?
Depends on the section condition and what the repair costs against a new unit. We give you both numbers and let you decide.
One room never gets warm. Is that the boiler?
Usually not. It is more often a zone valve, an air-bound loop or a radiator that needs venting, all of which are cheap to fix.
Do you service steam heat?
Yes. One and two pipe steam is common in these towns and it is regular work for us.
