Boiler Repair & Service in Coquitlam

Usually, yes — and it’s one of the main reasons people find us. Plenty of companies have quietly stopped taking hydronic work, or will only quote a full replacement on anything past a certain age. We’d rather look at it first.

Age on its own doesn’t write a boiler off. Circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion vessels, thermocouples, electrodes and pressure relief valves are all replaceable parts, and many older boilers are mechanically simpler and easier to keep running than a modern combi.

Where we genuinely can’t get a part any more, we’ll tell you that plainly rather than stringing it out.

$119 plus tax. That brings a Red Seal certified technician to your door, and it covers the visit whether your system turns out to need a tune-up or a diagnosis.

We check the system is running properly before we start a maintenance — so you’re never paying for a tune-up on a system that already has a fault. If we find one, we’ll tell you there and then that the visit becomes a diagnostic instead. Diagnostic time is billed by the hour, and troubleshooting is usually done inside that first hour.

Once we know what’s wrong we quote the repair, and you decide. The visit fee covers the technician’s time finding the fault — it’s separate from the price of the repair.

If the boiler genuinely needs replacing rather than repairing, the estimate for a new system is free.

Same-day service when we have availability — and the Tri-Cities are right on our doorstep. Our shop is on Roderick Avenue in Coquitlam, so Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody are all short runs for us.

In a cold snap we prioritise homes with young children, elderly residents or anyone with a medical need. Call us for the fastest answer on today’s availability — the phone gets you a real person rather than a queue.

Yes, and it’s the same $119. An annual boiler service is a combustion test, a full set of safety checks, a look at pressure and the expansion vessel, circulator pump and zone valve operation, flue and venting, and an inspection of the heat exchanger for scale or corrosion.

On a boiler this matters more than on a furnace. Most boiler failures are slow — pressure creeping down, sludge building up, an expansion vessel losing its charge — and they’re cheap to catch and expensive to ignore.

You don’t have to work out which visit you need. If it’s fine, that’s your service. If we find a fault, we’ll tell you before we switch — it becomes your diagnostic instead, at the same price.

Often, yes. Older cast-iron boilers in particular were built to last and are frequently still worth keeping — a $400 pump or zone valve against a five-figure system replacement is rarely a close call.

What actually decides it is the specific fault, whether parts are still available, and how the heat exchanger looks. We’ll give you the repair cost, a free replacement estimate, and an honest view of how much life the repair realistically buys you.

Yes — combi boilers and tankless units are a growing part of what we do, and our team works with Navien equipment regularly alongside every other major brand.

They fail differently from conventional boilers: diverter valves, plate heat exchangers, flow sensors and scale build-up account for most of what we see. Hard water accelerates all of it, which is why a yearly service pays for itself on these systems faster than on any other.

Almost certainly not. When some zones heat and others don’t, the fault is nearly always in the distribution rather than the boiler — a failing circulator pump, zone valves that have stopped opening, trapped air, or sludge restricting the loop.

The same goes for in-floor heating: manifolds, actuators and zone thermostats are all common culprits. It’s worth having someone check the whole system rather than condemning the boiler.

A member of our team calls you back to ask a couple of quick questions about the boiler and the symptom, then books a visit at a time that suits you. That’s it — no automated sequences, no sales calls, and we never pass your details to anyone else.

If it’s urgent, calling 778-846-4822 is always faster than the form.
