Boiler Replacement
Boiler replacement and installation for homes with hydronic heating systems.
Homes with hydronic heating — hot water running through radiators or in-floor tubing instead of forced air — depend on the boiler working reliably through a Saskatchewan winter. We replace and repair residential boilers when a repair isn't the better option anymore.
Signs a boiler needs attention: uneven heat between rooms, a boiler that's cycling on and off more than usual, unusual noises (banging or kettling), visible leaks around fittings, or a system that's simply old enough that parts are getting harder to source.
Replacing a boiler is a bigger job than a straightforward tank water heater swap — it usually means matching the new unit's output to the home's actual heating load, and making sure the existing piping and controls are compatible or upgraded as needed.
Because boilers are less common than forced-air furnaces, it's worth having someone who actually works on hydronic systems regularly look at yours rather than treating it like a generic furnace problem.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know if my boiler needs to be repaired or replaced?
- An aging boiler with a single failed part — a pump, valve, or control — is often worth repairing. A boiler that's leaking from the heat exchanger itself, or failing repeatedly, is usually past the point where repair makes sense.
- Why is one room colder than the rest of the house?
- With hydronic heat, that's often a circulation issue — trapped air in the line, a stuck zone valve, or a radiator that needs bleeding — rather than a problem with the boiler itself.
- How long does a boiler last?
- Well-maintained residential boilers commonly last 15-20+ years, longer than a typical tank water heater, but that range depends heavily on water quality, usage, and maintenance history.
- Can you work on both radiator and in-floor hydronic systems?
- Yes — the boiler itself works the same way regardless of what it's heating; the difference is in the distribution piping and controls, which we account for during any replacement or repair.
