Boiler Repair Colorado springs

Boilers are complicated systems with many external components and parts which makes diagnosing and repairing them difficult. All of our technicians are licensed and trained. It takes years of boiler experience to do a proper diagnostic or repair without causing other issues like property damage or dangerous situations.  As boiler professionals we often work with explosive gasses, dangerous exhaust and fumes like carbon monoxide, hot pipes and steam. Our pricing takes all of this into account so we can provide the best service to our customers.

Most municipalities have a governing body that oversees the work done by licensed contractors. In Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas that governing body is the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department or PPRBD for short. You can easily search for licensed HVAC contractors on their website www.pprbd.org. To legally work on any type of heating appliance like furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers you must hold an active license and insurance with the PPRBD.

1. The boiler is past its life expectancy. The average lifespan of a boiler is 15-30 years 
2. The boiler is in need of major costly repairs. The repair costs could go a log way towards the purchase of a new boiler that will come with a new manufacturer warranty and that will typically have significant monthly savings on operating costs.

You should get your boiler professionally serviced by a certified boiler technician at least once a year. Make sure the service includes a full maintenance and safety check for gas leaks, carbon monoxide, and safety features like a low water cutoff. All boiler manufacturers recommend annual maintenance by a professional and it is required on new boilers to maintain the manufacturer warranty.

The amount of time for repair greatly depends on the complexity of the repair and the system itself. In most cases we are able to diagnose and repair a boiler in the same day. Some repairs may take longer especially if it is an off brand boiler or outdated and parts are not readily available. If we need to replace the boiler and piping, a new installation typically takes 2 to 3 days depending on the setup and complexity of the job.

We work on nearly all types of boilers and boiler components. We do not work on steam boilers or huge industrial boilers. There are also some rare boilers that require specific expertise that we may refer to a specialist for that specific boiler. When we inspect your boiler we will let you know if yours is not one that we can work on.

Older boilers are not known for efficiency, and oftentimes people assume if they have a boiler it is just an old antiquated system that’s always going to be inefficient. Modern high efficiency boilers are some of the most efficient heating equipment we can install! The biggest operational cost savings we see are typically with boiler replacements.

We have replaced many old boilers with modulating condensing boilers that have cut the operating costs by more than half. By upgrading your boiler in addition to operational cost savings, there is increased comfort throughout the home and in many cases much more or even endless hot water.
