Boiler Service & Repair
The quiet heart of a hot-water home
A boiler heats water and pumps it through baseboards, radiators or tubing in the floor, so the heat it delivers is even, silent and free of blowing dust. When it’s working, you forget it’s there, which is how boiler maintenance slips a year or two. When it isn’t, the signs are easy to miss at first: a pressure gauge that keeps creeping down, a rumble or kettling sound as scale builds on the heat exchanger, a zone that never quite warms. Combustion also has to be set differently at elevation, and a burner tuned for sea level can run dirty and waste fuel in the mountains.
We repair, maintain and replace gas, propane and electric boilers, including high-efficiency condensing models, along with their pumps, valves and controls. Boiler work is offered by our Durango & Southwest Colorado team. A boiler also drives radiant floor heat, and a combi boiler can take over your hot water as well.
- Tuned for Altitude Combustion set for high-elevation air, not sea level.

- Free Estimates Repair or replace, laid out with prices before you choose.
Symptom Check
Signs your boiler needs service
Boilers usually give plenty of notice. These are the early warnings.
-
Pressure Keeps Dropping
Topping the system up every few weeks means water is leaking out somewhere.
-
Kettling or Banging
Scale on the heat exchanger makes water flash to steam and rumble.
-
A Yellow Burner Flame
Incomplete combustion. Shut the boiler off and call right away.
-
Cold Zones
One room or floor stays cold while the rest of the house is fine.
-
Constant Cycling
A boiler that fires and stops over and over is wearing itself out.
-
Error Codes or Lockouts
Modern boilers shut themselves down when a sensor or flame check fails.
What We Service
Boiler service, from the burner to the last zone valve
Repair, maintenance and replacement for the boiler and everything it feeds.
- Boiler Repair No heat, lockouts, leaks and noisy operation diagnosed and fixed.
- Annual Maintenance Combustion analysis, burner cleaning and safety checks each fall.
- Condensing Upgrades Old cast-iron boilers replaced with high-efficiency condensing units.
- Pumps & Zone Valves Circulators, zone valves and expansion tanks that keep water moving.
- Controls & Outdoor Reset Smart thermostats and outdoor reset that match water temperature to the weather.
- Descaling Scale flushed from heat exchangers that hard water has coated.
How It Works
From cold radiators to steady heat
The same approach for a repair call or a fall tune-up.
-
Tell Us the Symptoms
Pressure reading, sounds, error codes and which zones are cold.
-
Test the System
Combustion, pressure, pumps and controls checked in order.
-
Repair or Replace
Both options priced so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
-
Fire It and Confirm
We bring it up to temperature and check every zone heats.

Boiler maintenance checklist and other boiler questions
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
A closed hot-water system shouldn’t need regular top-ups. If the gauge keeps falling, water is escaping through a leaking valve, fitting, relief valve or a failed expansion tank. Leaks under a floor or inside a wall can go unseen, so it’s worth having the system pressure-tested rather than refilling it all winter.
Should I repair or replace an old boiler?
Many older boilers keep running for decades but burn far more fuel than a modern condensing unit. If yours is past fifteen years, needs repairs each season or has a leaking heat exchanger, replacement can pay for itself. We’ll price both, and financing is available for new equipment.
How often does a boiler need a tune-up, and what’s on the checklist?
Once a year, before the heating season. A full visit covers:
- Combustion analysis, with the burner tuned for your altitude
- Burner and heat exchanger cleaned and inspected for scale or cracks
- System pressure checked and the expansion tank tested
- Pressure relief valve, low-water cutoff and every safety control tested
- Circulator pumps, zone valves and air separator checked, with air purged from the loops
- Venting and condensate drain inspected
- Thermostats and outdoor reset settings confirmed
Many boiler makers also require a yearly service to keep the warranty in force.
Can a boiler heat my floors and driveway too?
Yes. The same boiler can supply radiant floor tubing, baseboards and a snowmelt loop under a driveway or walk, as long as it’s sized for the combined load. Read about hydronic radiant heating for how those systems are laid out. Adding a zone to an older boiler sometimes means upgrading it, and we’ll tell you that up front.
