Boiler heating systems offer distinct advantages for Calgary properties, including even heat distribution, quiet operation, and excellent energy efficiency.

Common Boiler Problems We Repair
No Heat or Hot Water
Faulty thermostats, broken diaphragms, motorized valve failures, or low water pressure preventing your boiler from producing heat.
Leaking or Dripping
Corroded pipes, failed seals, or pressure valve issues causing water leaks that can lead to property damage if left untreated.
Strange Noises
Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds often caused by air in the system, low water pressure, or kettling from limescale buildup.
Pilot Light Issues
Pilot light going out repeatedly due to a faulty thermocouple, draft issues, or gas supply problems requiring professional diagnosis.
Pressure Loss
System pressure dropping below optimal levels due to water leaks, bleeding radiators, or a faulty pressure relief valve.
Frozen Condensate Pipe
Calgary's extreme cold can freeze condensate pipes, causing boiler shutdowns. We provide insulation and permanent solutions to prevent recurring freeze-ups.
Types of Boilers We Service
Gas Boilers
The most common boiler type in Calgary homes. Gas boilers offer reliable heating with lower operating costs compared to electric models. We install and service both conventional and combi gas boilers from all major manufacturers.
Electric Boilers
An excellent choice for properties without natural gas access. Electric boilers are compact, quiet, and produce zero on-site emissions. They require less maintenance than gas models and are ideal for smaller homes and additions.
Condensing Boilers
High-efficiency condensing boilers recover heat from exhaust gases, achieving efficiency ratings of 90% or higher. These units reduce both your energy bills and environmental impact, and may qualify for provincial energy rebates.
When to Replace Your Boiler
Boilers are built to last, but no heating system lasts forever. Knowing when to replace your boiler can save you from unexpected breakdowns during Calgary's coldest months. Consider a boiler replacement if you notice any of the following:
- ✓ Your boiler is over 15 years old and losing efficiency
- ✓ Repair costs are becoming frequent and increasing each year
- ✓ Your energy bills have risen significantly without a change in usage
- ✓ The system struggles to maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home
- ✓ You notice yellow instead of blue flames, which may indicate a carbon monoxide risk
- ✓ Replacement parts for your boiler model are difficult to source
Upgrading to a modern high-efficiency boiler can reduce your heating costs by 20-30% and provide more reliable comfort. Our technicians will assess your current system and provide honest recommendations tailored to your home and budget.
Boiler Service FAQs
How much does boiler installation cost in Calgary?
Boiler installation costs in Calgary typically range from $4,500 to $10,000 depending on the boiler type, capacity, and installation complexity. Condensing boilers cost more upfront but offer significant long-term savings through improved efficiency. We provide free in-home assessments with detailed, transparent quotes. Call 403-971-8821 to schedule yours.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
We recommend annual boiler maintenance, ideally in early fall before Calgary's heating season begins. Regular servicing ensures safe operation, maintains efficiency, extends equipment life, and keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid. Our maintenance visits include a thorough inspection, cleaning, and testing of all safety controls.
What is the lifespan of a boiler in Calgary?
A well-maintained boiler typically lasts 15 to 20 years in Calgary's climate. Cast iron boilers may last even longer with proper care. Factors like water quality, usage patterns, and maintenance frequency all affect boiler longevity. Regular annual servicing is the single best way to maximize your boiler's lifespan.
Is a boiler more efficient than a furnace?
Both modern boilers and furnaces can achieve high efficiency ratings. Boilers offer advantages including more even heat distribution, quieter operation, and better air quality since they do not blow air through ducts. However, furnaces can be easier to pair with central air conditioning. Our team can help you evaluate which system is the best fit for your home.
