Expecting heat or hot water but can’t seem to get any? From airlocks to broken diaphragms, to low water levels or motorized valve failures, these are just a few of the various reasons why your boiler is failing to produce heat or hot water. In cases like these, a certified boiler technician is able to diagnose the problem and replace any failed parts.
- Kettling
One common problem known to hot water boilers is kettling. While some might be unfamiliar with the term itself, you will know the sound when you hear it. Much like the sound of cooking kettle on your stove, your boiler creates a similar sound when requiring a boiler repair: loud banging or rumbling stemming from the heating unit. If you find that you are experiencing this with your boiler, be sure to give Advanced Boilers & Hydronic Heating a call. In doing so, we are able to have our technicians dispatched to your residence or place of business to investigate, diagnose, and repair your boiler in a timely fashion. Failing to do so could result in a much larger and more expensive problem that it is now further down the road.
The kettling sound you may be experiencing is due to a surplus of minerals in the water supply. Often times, hard water is common in most areas, but over time, the mineral deposits change the pressure levels in the tank. With a kettling boiler, it is important to note that your boiler may be more likely to suffer dangerous levels that put your home at risk or even spring a leak.
- Leaking & Dripping
Another common boiler repair is when your boiler begins to leak. Often times we receive this as an emergency call that comes in a state of panic. Should you find that the leak you are experiencing from your boiler is stemming directly from the boiler tank, this is extremely problematic. This means that your boiler has likely begun to corrode through and unfortunately is beyond repair, requiring a boiler replacement instead of repair. That being said, a leak can come from a pump or pressure relief valve, and those two things can easily be repaired. Sometimes it can even be such a small thing as condensation that can mimic a slight leak. Either way, be sure to get your boiler looked at to air on the side of caution.
- Pilot Troubles
In years past, the pilot light was something you had to light and leave running throughout the day and night, so as to ensure that heat was always available. Nowadays, some boilers still continue to use this same method, whereas others most often use electronic ignition to heat water only when needed. If you are not able to light a pilot light on your own, be sure to give Advanced Boilers & Hydronic Heating a call so one of our heating technicians are able to diagnose the pilot and ignition system issues you may be experiencing with your boiler.
- No Heat
Should you find you are experiencing no heat coming from your boiler, this often times could mean a lot of different things that may be going on with your boiler. Whether it is a safety switch that could be stopping the boiler from staying on, a broken thermostat, or there could even be a pump that is broken, there is just no way to know until our technicians are able to check it out by inspection.
Instead of frantically trying to diagnose the problem yourself, give Advanced Boilers & Hydronic Heating a call so our experts can take the reigns from there inspect your boiler.

Tips & Thoughts
While boilers have a tendency to break down at any time, they often times fail the most during the winter months due to a long period of inaction. A breakdown is likely to occur when there is sudden pressure on the system’s components, causing a drought of hot water and heating for your household during the most needed months.
