Emergency Boiler Repair

No Heat in Winter? 24/7 Emergency Boiler Repair in North York

A boiler that quits at minus 20 is an emergency. Pipes can freeze within hours in an unheated house. Here's what happens when you call us at night:

  1. Safety firstWe ask about CO alarms and gas smells before anything else, and tell you what to do while you wait.
  2. Fast diagnosisWe read the error code and check ignition, gas supply, pressure, pump and controls.
  3. Heat back onMost no-heat calls are fixed on the spot with the parts we carry.
  4. Safety checkBefore we leave, we test for combustion leaks and check your CO alarms.

Carbon monoxide is the biggest boiler risk. Ontario law requires a working CO alarm outside every sleeping area in homes with a fuel-burning appliance. If an alarm goes off, or you smell gas, get everyone outside, then call 911 or Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427.

Common Boiler Problems We Repair in North York

Our boiler repair technicians carry common parts for the main brands, so most repairs are done in one visit.

Boiler not heating

Ignition failure, bad flame sensor, faulty gas valve or a control board error.

Some radiators cold

Air trapped in the system, a stuck zone valve or an unbalanced system.

Pressure too low or high

Leaks, a failed expansion tank or a relief valve that keeps dripping.

Banging & kettling

Scale and sludge on the heat exchanger or poor circulation make the boiler rumble.

Error codes & lockouts

Navien, Viessmann and other modern boilers lock out to protect themselves. We find the real cause.

Circulator pump failure

Boiler fires but heat never reaches the radiators. We repair or replace the pump.

Boiler leaking

Leaks from fittings, valves or the heat exchanger. We find the source before water damage spreads.

Short cycling

An oversized boiler or bad controls turns on and off constantly, wasting gas.

Older North York Homes

Hydronic Heating Repair: Old Cast Iron Boilers & Radiators

Many homes in Armour Heights, Lawrence Park, York Mills and Don Mills still heat with hot-water radiators fed by a decades-old cast iron boiler. These systems are durable, but they waste a lot of gas and parts are getting hard to find. We keep them running, or upgrade the boiler while keeping your radiators.

Boiler Replacement North York

Repair or Replace Your Boiler?

We'll give you an honest answer, not a sales pitch. Here's how we decide:

Repair usually makes sense when…

  • The boiler is under about 10 years old
  • A single part failed: igniter, pump, valve or sensor
  • The heat exchanger is sound
  • It's still covered by the manufacturer's warranty

Replacement is worth it when…

  • The heat exchanger is cracked or leaking
  • Repairs keep piling up on an old unit
  • Parts are no longer available
  • Gas bills are high from a low-efficiency cast iron boiler

Boiler Repair North York Reviews

"We had an old cast iron boiler in our Armour Heights house that needed repairs almost every winter. SolidPlumb explained our options for boiler replacement in North York and installed a new condensing unit. They kept the existing radiators and adjusted the system so the upstairs rooms finally heat evenly. Very happy with how it turned out."

"The pressure on our boiler kept dropping every few days and I was constantly topping it up. Booked boiler repair in North York with SolidPlumb. They found an issue with the expansion tank and a leaking relief valve. Both were replaced, and the pressure has stayed steady since. Nice to get it fixed without replacing the whole boiler."

FAQ

Boiler Repair & Installation FAQ

Why is my boiler not heating?

Common causes are a thermostat problem, low system pressure, an ignition or flame sensor fault, a failed circulator pump or a lockout after a safety trip. Check the thermostat, power and pressure gauge first. If the boiler still won't heat, call a licensed technician.

Do you offer emergency boiler repair in North York?

Yes. We answer no-heat calls 24/7 across North York, including nights, weekends and holidays. If a CO alarm is sounding or you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 first.

Are your boiler technicians TSSA licensed?

Yes. In Ontario, only TSSA-licensed gas technicians may repair or install gas boilers. Our boiler work is done by technicians holding G2 or G1 gas licences.

How much does boiler repair or replacement cost in North York?

Repair cost depends on the part and the boiler model. Replacement depends on the boiler type, size, venting and piping changes. We diagnose first and give you a fixed, written quote before any work starts.

How long does a boiler last?

Most modern boilers last about 10 to 15 years with yearly service. Older cast iron boilers often run longer but are far less efficient, and parts can be hard to find.

What's the difference between a combi and a condensing boiler?

A combi boiler heats your home and makes hot water on demand in one unit. A condensing boiler is a high-efficiency heating boiler, often paired with a separate indirect hot water tank. Most combi boilers are also condensing.

Can I keep my old radiators with a new boiler?

Usually, yes. Cast iron radiators work well with modern condensing and combi boilers. We check the piping, add a magnetic filter to protect the new boiler and balance the radiators after installation.

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Once a year, ideally in early fall before the heating season. Annual service keeps the boiler safe and efficient, and most manufacturers require it to keep the warranty valid.

What warranty comes with a new boiler?

New boilers are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Terms depend on the brand and model, and usually require professional installation and yearly maintenance.

Do you offer boiler repair near me in North York?

Yes. We provide boiler repair, service and installation across North York, including Armour Heights, Lawrence Park, York Mills, Don Mills, Bayview Village, Willowdale, Bathurst Manor and Lawrence Manor.
