how our boiler repair referral line works
Ask for their Massachusetts license
Massachusetts licenses the people who work on gas lines (plumbers and gas fitters) and on oil burners (oil burner technicians). Ask the company you're connected with for the license that matches your boiler, and whether the job needs a permit.
Built for no-heat calls
Boilers fail at the worst times. Call the line and you're put through to a local company that takes no-heat calls. Ask how soon they can come out; same-day and after-hours availability depends on the company and the time of year.
Get the price before the work
We don't set prices; the company you're connected with does. Ask for a written quote before any work starts, and ask what's included, whether it's a simple repair or a full replacement.
Tell them the brand
Boston has a lot of Weil-McLain, Burnham, Peerless and Navien boilers. Give the brand and model when you call, and a photo of any error code, so the technician can bring the right parts. Not every company services every brand.

common Boston boiler problems
No heat on the coldest night of the year
No heat usually comes down to the thermostat, the ignition or pilot, low pressure, or a failed circulator pump. Check the thermostat and the boiler's power switch first, then call to be connected with a local company.
Boiler leaking water onto the basement floor
Leaks usually trace back to a relief valve, a failed gasket, a bad expansion tank, or a cracked section. Turn the boiler off and call. If the boiler itself is cracked, the technician will usually recommend a replacement.
Pilot light keeps going out
A pilot that won't stay lit often means a bad thermocouple, a dirty pilot assembly, or a draft problem. If you smell gas, don't relight it: leave the building and call your gas utility or 911.
Kettling noise and low pressure
Kettling sounds like a kettle boiling inside the boiler. It usually means scale buildup or low water flow. A technician can flush the system and check the pressure. Left alone, it can damage the heat exchanger.
Frozen pipes and thermostat malfunction
Frozen pipes and a dead thermostat both kill your heat. Don't use an open flame to thaw a pipe. If a pipe has burst, shut off the main water valve and call.

What should I check before calling a boiler repair service in Boston?
Check the thermostat batteries and settings, the boiler's power switch and breaker, and the pressure gauge on a hot-water system. If you smell gas, don't touch anything: leave the building and call your gas utility or 911.
How do I choose a boiler repair company in Boston MA?
Ask for their Massachusetts license (a plumber or gas fitter for gas boilers, an oil burner technician for oil), a written quote, and what warranty covers the work. Ask whether they service your brand, such as Weil-McLain, Burnham or Navien, and whether they take emergency calls.
