Why do boilers stop heating in Burnaby homes?
Most no-heat calls come from a small group of issues: low system pressure, ignition failure, weak circulation, sensor faults, or blocked venting.
In Burnaby, we also see problems tied to older components, scaling, and control drift after years of cycling.
Boiler Repair Burnaby is about confirming the exact failure, not guessing, so the fix holds and the boiler stays safe.
Common Boiler Repair Burnaby Problems We Diagnose
If you’re seeing any of these, it usually means a boiler is protecting itself with a lockout, or it’s losing stable conditions like pressure, flame signal, or flow.
We test first, then repair with the right parts.
- No heat or intermittent heat
- Boiler lockout / recurring resets
- Low pressure or rapid pressure swings
- Radiators or zones not heating evenly
- Ignition failure, weak flame signal
- Water leaks under the boiler or near piping
- Short cycling or noisy operation
- Error codes on modern condensing boilers
- Circulator or zone valve issues
- Venting or combustion air concerns
Boiler Parts We Commonly Test and Replace
A fast repair starts with having the usual parts and knowing what to test. Most calls for Boiler Repair Burnaby come down to a few components,
plus the system conditions around them (pressure, air, flow, venting, combustion).
- Igniter and flame sensor
- Gas valve and related gas controls
- Control board and wiring connections
- Pressure switch and sensors
- High-limit and safety switches
- Expansion tank checks
- Pressure relief valve assessment
- Circulator pumps
- Zone valves and zone controls
- Diverter / mixing components (system-dependent)
- Air elimination and purge issues
- Heat exchanger condition checks
- Condensate drain issues (condensing boilers)
- Venting pathway and combustion air verification
How We Approach Boiler Repair Burnaby Without Guessing
We start by confirming what the boiler is missing: stable flame, stable pressure, stable circulation, or safe venting.
That’s the difference between a quick temporary fix and a repair that stays reliable through winter demand in Burnaby.
We explain what failed, what caused it, and what you should watch for next.
Data-Driven: What Drives Boiler Breakdowns in Burnaby
Most emergency calls don’t start as emergencies. They start as drift: pressure slowly drops, ignition gets weaker, sensors get inconsistent, pumps lose efficiency,
or venting conditions change. Over weeks and months, the boiler locks out more often, cycles harder, and parts wear faster.
Boiler Repair Burnaby works best when we treat the root cause, not just the symptom.
What we see most often
- Pressure instability from small leaks, expansion issues, or air in the system
- Ignition failures from dirty sensors, weak ignition parts, or gas-side issues
- Circulation problems that cause short cycling, noise, and uneven heating
- Condensate and venting issues on high-efficiency units during cold snaps
Why that matters for repair cost
- Recurring lockouts often point to an underlying condition, not a one-off part
- Short cycling increases stress on ignition components and controls
- Slow heat transfer and scaling can push boilers into faults and overheating protection
- Fixing the cause reduces repeat visits and improves stability through winter runtime

Boiler Repair Burnaby FAQ
How fast can you come for a no-heat boiler in Burnaby?
We prioritize no-heat and leak calls. If we can fit you in same-day, we do. If not, we book the earliest slot and keep communication clear.
My boiler keeps locking out. Is it safe to keep resetting it?
A repeat lockout is the boiler telling you conditions are unsafe or unstable. A reset can help once, but repeated resets usually mean you need diagnosis.
What are the most common causes of “no heat” in Burnaby homes?
Low system pressure, ignition failures, sensor faults, circulation issues, and venting problems are the most common. We test to confirm the exact cause.
Do you repair high-efficiency condensing boilers?
Yes. Condensing boilers have specific venting and condensate needs, plus sensitive controls. We diagnose error codes, ignition faults, and flow issues regularly.
Why does boiler pressure keep dropping?
Pressure drops usually trace back to a small leak, an expansion issue, or air in the system. We locate the cause and confirm stable pressure behavior after repair.
My radiators are uneven. Is that a repair issue?
It can be. Uneven heat often relates to circulation, zone controls, trapped air, or system balance. We diagnose the system side, not just the boiler box.
When should I repair vs replace a boiler?
If the heat exchanger is failing, corrosion is severe, or breakdowns are frequent, replacement can be the smarter move. We explain options only when repair stops being practical.
Do you work in condos and townhomes in Burnaby?
Yes. We do clean, quiet work in tight mechanical rooms, and we’re used to strata requirements, access rules, and tidy finishing.
Is there warranty coverage on repairs?
We stand behind workmanship, and installed parts follow manufacturer terms. If you want a preventative check after repair, schedule
