Zionsville, IN Boiler Repair

A boiler is one type of heating system containing many integral parts that must all function correctly in order to heat up your home to a comfortable temperature. Overtime, issues can develop with any of the parts and can become inoperable due to usage and age. We know how much you rely on your boiler system for heat in the winter and at Efficient Systems, we can help you by providing quick and effective solutions to get your home warm again.

When To Have Your Boiler Repaired

Fortunately, several different signs can alert you that your boiler isn’t working properly so you can call Efficient Systems for repairs to get it back up and running as it should.

Uneven Heating Throughout the Home

You may have uneven heating in your home with a boiler system for several reasons. If you’ve changed your radiators to a larger size for more warm air in your home, they may actually be too big for the boiler to keep up with. This creates uneven heating. If your radiators are dirty and need cleaning or there is sludge causing a blockage or a restriction in the pipework, it can also cause uneven heating in the system. Your boiler’s thermostat could be faulty or your heat pump may be malfunctioning as well. All of these items require a service call in order to correct them.

The Unit Won’t Start

The main reasons that cause your boiler to be ineffective and not even start to warm your home all require a service call from a professional to diagnose and repair your heating system. It could be that your thermostat is faulty so it doesn’t send a signal for the boiler to come on. It can be an electrical problem with the electronic ignition for the pilot light, a safety blower, circuit breakers, or switches. Your unit may not be getting enough gas supply to turn on or you may have a major faulty component in your system.

You Hear Unusual Noises

Your boiler system should be relatively quiet when it’s in operation. If you hear a rumbling noise coming from your boiler, then it is most likely kettling. This is a serious issue caused by a large build-up of minerals on the heat exchanger caused by hard water conditions. It takes several years before you will hear this sound and it’s much like a kettle on your stove when you hear the water bubbling in it. Eventually, the mineral deposits will block the water flow and put immense pressure on the heat exchanger. If you hear this sound, turn your heating system off immediately and call for service. Another sound that indicates you need a qualified HVAC technician is a gurgling sound in the pipes that connect to the boiler unit and run through the house. It means there is air in the system that needs to be drained out to operate properly.

Strange Smells While the System is Operating

A rotten egg smell when your system is operating, is indicative of a gas leak that can be very dangerous. Turn the system off and call for a repairman to come to your home to repair the leak. If you smell gas, it is likely a propane leak in your system, which is also dangerous and needs immediate attention. If it smells like a dead animal and the smell is stronger when the unit is running, it is most likely an animal or bird died in the flue, which needs to be removed to allow for good airflow.

The System is Short Cycling

Short cycling is when your boiler turns on and off very often. This can be caused by a large number of things, including that it’s heating too quickly because the system capacity and load are not equal or poor temperature control. It could also be inadequate dehumidification or one of your major components is failing rapidly. If you notice this happening, you should turn the system off and call for service because the contact and relay failure may be pointing to it arcing and this will destroy the motor.

Benefits of Boiler Repair Service

There are many benefits of a boiler repair service because on each service call, we not only fix the issue but we also inspect your entire system. During a service call, your HVAC technician can thoroughly clean your entire system to increase your efficiency and give you more effective heating. These two items combined will save you money over the course of the winter, which is much more than the costs of a service call. A service call can also identify other components that are very worn so they can be replaced instead of waiting for them to fail completely and unable to heat your home. All of these items can lower your annual heating costs and boost your indoor air quality as well, which is important for families with allergies or respiratory ailments.

Our house had been inspected and sold three times over its 45 year life before we purchased it. Because of these things, it was almost unbelievable to learn the extent to which its electrical system was out of date. It was in no way compliant with the current residential electric system safety codes (even with the couple of “grandfathered” areas). I learned of myriad electrical deficiencies through the narrative and pictures provided by the thorough inspection report I’d paid for. Each of four different company’s reps was given a copy of the inspection report and to provide a cost estimate to bring everything up to snuff. Only two of the company reps dealt with everything that was on its copy of the inspection report—not good, and an estimate from them was no longer needed. Of the two remaining and acceptable estimates, Efficient Systems was about 15% more expensive but I was most impressed with the rep’s obvious thoroughness, knowledge, demeanor, and confidence. It took three visits to do all that needed done; however, one of those trips was dedicated to a new job I’d wanted done that was not on the inspection report; but their competence told me to ask them to do the additional work . Efficient System’s worker bees were a pleasure to deal with—no radios, no cussing, nothing objectionable and their jobs, courtesy, and cleanup were without fault. I’m an old, retired Marine colonel and I’m very particular—Efficient Systems gets a ‘well done,’ a good A in my book.

Efficient Systems continues to do a great job. They installed a new furnace and air conditioner for us back in April and we were very impressed with both the service and the product. Efficient most recently came back for routine maintenance on our furnace. Adam called 30 minutes before the appointment to let us know he was on his way. He was prompt, efficient, and knowledgeable. Great Job!

Efficient systems were awesome to work with. They showed up when they said they would. The technician was very friendly and clean. He offered other services while here, which is very helpful. we don’t have an electrician or a plumber so we will be calling Efficient Systems again.

First let me say this, on New Year’s Eve during the wind storm we had a disaster in our backyard when a tree fell and pulled our powerline halfway out, half of the power was still on until morning when Indianapolis power and light finally made it out with what we thought was a re-connection of all power, but that was not the case, IPL had to shut everything down due to the possibility of a short which may have caused an electrical fire, at this point we were desperate to have our weatherhead repaired because it was completely destroyed, being that it was on New Year’s day no one out of the five people that I called would come out except for “Efficient Systems”!! Adam of Efficient Systems was the first one on the scene and conducted his survey and gave us the estimate, because of the severe distruction of the weatherhead and circuit breaker box and with Christmas just passing we were not able to pay out of pocket.. Efficient Systems worked with us and gave us the ability to make payments on a payment plan!! Adam was then accompanied by his team leader Sean, these guys are consummate professionals in every way!! They worked feverishly until the job was completed, the power was back on before the end of the night!! Keep in mind that all of this was done on a holiday!! I cannot tell you how thankful we are! It was a five-star experience! If you have an electrical problem and you want the job done right in an expedient manner with a professional attitude accompanying.. you best call Efficient Systems!! Thank you Adam, Sean and Efficient Systems, you guys are what people should expect when they call for professional help!! Thank you!
