Useful Boiler Troubleshooting Advice for Burnaby Homeowners

You have no heat at all – inspect thermostat and check incoming power

Check your thermostat to be sure it is set on “Heat” and temporarily dial up the temperature above the current room temperature.
Verify that the switch for the boiler located near the unit is in the ON position and check to see if any breaker has been tripped.

In Burnaby, many of those “no heat” calls have been chalked up to an unwittingly turned-off control or a tripped breaker.

Check the boiler pressure and reset the boiler

Check the boiler’s pressure gauge. Typically, residential systems operate at pressures ranging from 15–20 psi when hot.
If the pressure is very low, or at zero, the system won’t work and you may need to refill it or look for leaks.

If there is a reset button on your boiler, press it and then wait a few minutes to see if the system restarts. If it continues to lock-out,
please do not continue resetting – this is a warning that professional attention is required.

Bleed cold radiators or baseboards

If some of the rooms are cold and others warm, air could be trapped in radiators or baseboard loops. Close the valve and open it slowly
so water will flow out once you bleed the affected radiator with a bleed key or screwdriver—put a container under to catch water.

When bleeding an air and water system, only a tiny bit of air and water should be eliminated; never start from zero pressure. When in doubt, call a technician.

Check anything that looks or smells odd

Popping, kettling or humming sounds may suggest scale buildup, circulation problems and impending pump failure. Any gas odor, burning plastic
or smoke smell should be taken with extreme seriousness. In the event of a suspected gas leak, evacuate the area, do not operate any open flame
or electrical switches, and contact FortisBC as well as a certified Burnaby boiler repair company immediately.

When to call in a pro for boiler repair

If your boiler is displaying error codes, has been locking out and you feel it’s occurred more than three times in over a month—you need a professional.
Modern boilers are sensitive and do not tolerate misadjustments that can create serious safety risks. Our skilled techs do diagnostics, combustion analysis
and parts replacement so that your system runs safely and effectively.
