Boiler Repair Services for When Your Boiler Isn’t Working

If your boiler isn’t heating your water, keeps shutting off, or is leaking, you will need a professional to inspect the issue. Many boiler issues can result in larger problems if they aren’t fixed promptly. Our plumbers can inspect your issues and provide you with efficient boiler repairs.

Before we begin our repair service, we’ll explain all possible solutions and products available thoroughly. Our team will help you make a decision that aligns best with your lifestyle and budget.

Boiler Replacement and Installation for Your Home

If your boiler is aging, too costly, or beyond repair, it may be time to replace your boiler. Most new boilers are cost-effective and energy-efficient, saving you money in the long run. Our licensed plumbers will review all replacement options with considerations such as budget, home needs, and long-term benefits in efficiency and savings.

When it comes to new boiler installation, selecting the right fit will depend on several factors, including:

• The size of your home.
• The number of bathrooms you have (if the boiler will also provide your home’s hot water supply).
• Your budget.
• Your existing fuel type (or preferred fuel type, if you wish to switch to another type).
• Your heating demands.

Because of this, you’ll want a team of professionals to provide you with the best possible fit. That’s why our team of boiler professionals will inspect your property and review your personal needs to help you find thea right boiler.

Boiler Service FAQs

How long does a boiler last?

While it depends on the fuel type, maintenance, and overall efficiency, most boilers last between 15-20 years. However, conditions within your home can affect the lifespan of your boiler, such as increased heat demands, insufficient heating system, home additions, and more. To accurately assess the condition and life expectancy of your boiler, call your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. We will examine your unit to determine its condition and provide details on whether boiler maintenance or replacement would be best.

Why is my boiler leaking water?

Common reasons for a leaking boiler include:

• Incorrect pressure settings.
• Loose or damaged joints.
• Cracked or broken seals or body.
• Damaged valve.
• Corroded heat exchanger.
• Sediment buildup inside the tank.

If you notice leaks around your boiler, call your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for boiler repairs!

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Ideally, you should have your boiler serviced annually to improve its overall efficiency and avoid costly repairs down the line. During an annual tune-up, a service professional will eliminate any buildup and deposits, test all safety features, inspect the piping and ventilation, and review any additional parts based on the type of boiler you have. Of course, the frequency of these maintenance services will ultimately depend on your boiler, use, and overall needs.

Check with your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to determine the best maintenance schedule for your boiler.

How much does a new boiler cost?

It depends on the type of boiler you need:

• Gas and oil boilers: $4,000-$9,000
• Propane and electric: $1,000-$8,000
• Wood boilers: $7,000-$16,000.

However, these prices don’t include labor and additional installation needs. For an accurate estimate for a new boiler installation in your home, count on Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!
