Boiler Repair and Replacement You Can Rely on in the Hampton Bays.

We may be able to help you with some troubleshooting tips for common problems with hot-water and steam boilers. Check if any of these can get your system back up and running. If not, the highly trained specialists with Flanders Heating & Air Conditioning are ready to help.

• Thermostat isn’t accurate. See that it’s switched to “on” and that the settings are correct. If that doesn’t help, we may need to replace your thermostat.
• No heat. Check for broken parts, thermostat issues, or low water levels.
• Noticing leaks or dips. These are regularly caused by a broken internal part, worn-out seal, or corrosion.
• Banging, whistling, or gurgling noises. Air in the system, low water pressure, or imminent part failure can be the source of these noises.
• Rumbling or kettling noise. Water is overheating and boiling because water flow is partially blocked by lime and sludge accumulation in the heat exchanger.
• Pilot light isn’t working isn’t on. This can happen from a broken thermocouple, air draft, or built-up deposit. Also, make sure the natural gas supply is on.
• Pressure is reduced. This can be the result of water leaking, a faulty pressure valve, or radiators that have been bled recently.
• Condensate pipe is backed up. The pipe runs outside, so there is a risk of freezing. Thaw it by pouring warm—not hot—water over it.
• Radiators won’t get hot. This could come from sludge or air buildup in the system.
• Boiler keeps turning off without warning. This could be caused by low water pressure, thermostat issues, low water flow from a closed valve, air, or pump’s inadequate water circulation.

Boiler breakdowns can originate from a lack of routine service. Flanders Heating & Air Conditioning Total Home Comfort can suggest a plan that could increase the comfort in your home and in your pocketbook by keeping up your system’s operation and efficiency.
