Boiler Services
When your home depends on a boiler for steady heat and hot water, you want the right type of help from the start.
Boiler Services cover three clear paths, and each one solves a different need.
If your system is running and you want upkeep and peace of mind, start with
boiler service.
If the boiler is leaking, losing pressure, short cycling, or not heating properly, you’ll likely need
boiler repair.
If you’re planning an upgrade or replacement, explore
boiler installation.
This page explains the differences so you can choose the right direction without guessing.
What “Boiler Services” Means
Boiler systems are not one-size-fits-all. Homes in the Lower Mainland use a mix of standard hot water boilers,
high-efficiency condensing boilers, combi boilers, and boilers tied into in-floor heating or indirect hot water tanks.
The best results come from matching the right service path to the situation, not treating every call the same way.
Choose the Right Path
Most boiler requests fall into one of three categories. Use this as a quick guide before you book.
Boiler Service
Best for systems that are operating but need routine care, seasonal checkups, or performance verification.
This path is about reliability, safety, and keeping small issues from turning into bigger problems.
Boiler Repair
Best when something is not working as expected, performance changes suddenly, or the system shows warning signs
like pressure drops, noisy operation, ignition issues, uneven heating, or leaks.
Boiler Installation
Best when a unit is near end-of-life, reliability is falling, efficiency goals have changed, or you want to upgrade
to a better-fit system. Installation is planning-driven and looks at long-term comfort, operating cost, and layout.
Why Clear Intent Matters
Boilers can appear “fine” right up until they aren’t. Small changes in pressure, heat delivery, or cycling behavior can
point to very different causes. When you start on the right path, you avoid wasted visits and get clearer answers.
This is also why we keep service, repair, and installation as separate pillars. Each one has a different goal.
Common Boiler Setups We See
Boiler services apply across a range of residential systems. The service path you need depends more on what you have and
how it is behaving than on brand names alone.
- Hot water (hydronic) boilers feeding baseboards or radiators
- In-floor heating systems with manifolds, pumps, and mixing controls
