Boiler Repairs for the Champlain Valley

Things to check before you call:

If you think your hot water or steam heating system isn’t working, don’t panic. Before you call us, take these steps and you might be able to resolve your problem on your own:

• If you have an LP gas or oil boiler, make sure you have fuel in your tank
• Make sure your thermostat is set to “On” and in the “Heat” mode.
• Check your circuit breaker to ensure that you have not had a nuisance trip and your heat system does have power.
• Check your boiler switch to make sure it is “On”. This is typically an older toggle switch and may or may not have a Red cover plate.
• If your gas boiler has a pilot light check it. If it’s off, re-light it.
• Is a section of your baseboard not heating? It may be air-bound. If you have radiator bleed valves try removing this excess air.
• Is the water level in your boiler too low? There should be 12 - 15 psi in your boiler. If there is not try adding water to your system through your system water feed valve.
