Getting the Most from Your Boiler
After you choose a boiler, you still select how heat moves through the home. Classic cast-iron radiators and baseboards remain effective. Many modern homes prefer hydronic radiant floors that warm rooms from the ground up for even, draft-free comfort. Correct sizing is essential. An oversized boiler can short cycle and waste energy, while an undersized unit struggles on cold nights. Our team performs a heat load calculation and matches emitters, pumps, and zoning to your layout.
Boiler Installation and Replacement Options
Safe, code-compliant installation protects your home and your investment. We handle venting, gas or electric connections, combustion air, condensate management on high-efficiency models, and control setup, then commission the system with a full performance and safety check. Ready to upgrade? We replace aging oil or atmospheric units with modern gas condensing boilers, outdoor reset controls, and smart zoning to lower fuel use and improve comfort.
Washington, DC Boiler Repair and Maintenance
Fewer moving parts mean strong reliability, but any boiler can develop issues. Call for service if you notice new noises, uneven heat, radiators that will not warm, frequent pressure losses, or leaks near valves and fittings. Quick attention prevents larger failures and protects overall efficiency.
Routine maintenance keeps performance steady. A tune-up can include combustion analysis, flue and heat exchanger inspection, expansion tank and relief valve checks, pump and control verification, air removal from loops, water quality testing, and system cleaning. These steps reduce breakdowns and help your boiler run efficiently through the entire heating season.

Boiler FAQs
How do I know my boiler needs repair?
Watch for uneven room temperatures, gurgling or banging pipes, rising fuel bills, frequent pressure drops, visible leaks, or a boiler that shuts off before reaching set temperature.
What is the benefit of a condensing boiler?
Condensing models capture additional heat from exhaust gases for higher efficiency. Paired with outdoor reset controls and proper emitters, they can lower fuel use while keeping comfort steady.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once per year before heating season. Service includes safety checks, combustion analysis, venting inspection, water quality review, and verification of pumps, valves, and controls.
Can you convert from oil to natural gas?
Yes. We evaluate gas availability and meter capacity, size the new boiler, update venting and condensate handling as needed, and remove the old equipment responsibly.
