    Boiler-Services-with-WK-MechanicalIf you need boiler service in Newburgh, NY, WK Mechanical, Inc. is the heating company to call. Our expert technicians specialize in boiler repair for both hot water and steam systems.

    We encourage our customers to call us at the first signs of trouble. While modern boilers are incredibly safe, there are still some risks that you should be concerned with. There’s also the matter of cost. Malfunctioning boilers are often more expensive to run. The problem can also worsen with time and lead to a more expensive repair or even a replacement.

    Trusted Precision Boiler Service

    One of the most common boiler repair issues in Newburgh is what is called kettling. This is where you get noises from your boiler or pipes that sound like a teakettle. Some people describe it as a rumbling sound. The most common reason this occurs is because deposits build up on the heat exchanger. It’s one reason we recommend having your boiler flushed regularly. Those deposits drive up your operating costs and can actually shorten a boiler’s lifespan.

    Power issues are another common reason homeowners call us for boiler service. If you experience a tripped circuit, you can reset it, but you shouldn’t keep resetting it. That indicates a more serious electrical issue. Likewise, if the pilot light goes out, you can relight it but don’t keep relighting or struggle with a pilot light that’s hard to light. It could suggest a more serious combustion issue. You should also turn off your boiler and call us right away if your pilot light is a color other than blue. This is good advice if you experience a carbon monoxide alarm as well.

    Another common problem is a malfunctioning thermostat. Thermostats can fail outright, but that usually results in not getting any heat at all. Faulty thermostats can manifest a wide range of symptoms. You may have to adjust the heat differently than you’re used to because the home is too hot or not hot enough.

    Sometimes, this is as simple as a loose wire. Other times, we may need to replace the thermostat. It can also be an issue with a valve, diaphragm, or airlock.

    Kettling isn’t the only sound to listen for. Banging sounds often mean that you have a pressure problem, which is potentially dangerous. Gurgling sounds often mean that there’s air in the system and that it requires bleeding. Whistling sounds are another indication that there’s limescale buildup on the heat exchanger. It can also be a sign of overheating or a problem with the thermostat or air in the system.

    Look for these other signs you may need a boiler repair.
    • Low boiler pressure
    • Radiator not heating
    • Frozen condensate pipe
    • Cycling on and off frequently
    • Drips and leaks no matter how minor
