Heating
Hot-water heat is quiet, even and built to last, but it takes someone who knows hydronic systems to keep it that way. We repair, maintain and replace boilers and radiant heat across the valley.
Some zones heat and others don't, or radiators are warm at the bottom and cold at the top.
Kettling, knocking or trapped air in the pipes usually means a pressure, air or flow problem.
The gauge keeps dropping, or the relief valve is dripping or discharging water.
Water around the boiler, at valves or under a radiator should be looked at before it gets worse.
A high-efficiency boiler showing error codes or needing to be reset is telling you something.
Residential and light commercial hydronic heating, from century-old radiator systems to new in-floor radiant.

(651) 439-0578Ignition, circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks, pressure and relief valves, and controls on all makes.
High-efficiency condensing boilers and combi units, including Navien, sized to your home's heat loss.
In-floor radiant for additions, basements, bathrooms and garages, plus repairs to existing radiant systems.
Bleeding, balancing and repairing hot-water radiators and baseboard so every room heats evenly.
Boilers heat water and pump it through radiators, baseboard or tubing in the floor. When something goes wrong, it's usually in one of a few places.
Air trapped in the lines, a failing circulator pump, a stuck zone valve or a waterlogged expansion tank account for most cold-zone and noise complaints. Low system pressure, often from a slow leak, can shut a boiler down entirely. On high-efficiency boilers, a dirty burner, a clogged condensate line or a venting problem can trigger lockouts.
Older cast-iron boilers can run for decades, so a repair is often the right call. If yours is inefficient, leaking from the block or needs major parts, a modern condensing boiler can cut fuel use noticeably and take up a fraction of the space.
A combi boiler handles both heat and domestic hot water in one unit, which frees up room and removes a separate water heater. We'll walk you through whether that makes sense for your household.
We check pressure, temperatures, pumps, valves, venting and controls, find out why the system isn't keeping up, and explain the options. Most repairs are finished the same visit when the part is on hand, and we confirm every zone is heating before we leave.
Repair pricing depends on the part and how accessible it is. Replacement depends on boiler size and type, near-boiler piping, venting changes and whether you're adding zones or switching to a combi unit. Radiant projects depend on floor area and floor construction. You'll get a quote before work starts.
Don't see yours? Call and ask. A real person answers.
Yes. We service hot-water and steam radiator systems in older homes, as well as modern high-efficiency boilers.
Often, yes. Bathrooms, basements and additions are common. Whether it ties into your existing boiler or needs its own heat source depends on the system.
For many homes, yes. It saves space and fuel by combining heat and hot water. We'll look at your hot water demand before recommending one.
It usually points to a leak or an expansion tank problem. It's worth having checked soon, because low pressure can shut the boiler off when you need it most.
