"First, I am not a friend, employee or relative. this is the third time I have used their services. The first was to repair an air conditioner. Excellent price and workmanship. The second was to install a water softener system Again, good price and work. The third time was as a second opinion on a serious water leak not related to the softener installation. The first company stated an entire replumb necessary. Ortega diagnosed and repaired in 5 hours for a very low price. They are prompt, reliable, very reasonable cost, take pride in their work and will not leave until the job is finished and well done. They even clean up after the job! Needless to say, I will not use any other company."

"After I was unable to get a response from Route 66 Plumbing for warranty work, I went to Angie's List and found Wilson Water Works with good reviews.  I soon got a call back from Leland, and after he realized my situation, gave me other references for the quick service I needed.  The plumber I used fixed a leaking shutoff valve in the yard the next afternoon, and charged a very reasonable rate.

Boiler Repair questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of a boiler is typically between 15 and 20 years, though some may last for as little as 10 years while others can reach 30. A boiler's longevity is influenced by several factors, including the quality of the unit, proper installation, and consistent professional maintenance.

The material also plays a significant role. Older boilers made from durable cast iron can last for over 20 years, with some functioning for up to 50 years. However, it's important to consider their lower efficiency, which can lead to higher utility bills. Modern boilers, often made from steel alloys, are designed to withstand high pressure and temperatures and have an average lifespan of about 20 years.

To maximize your boiler's lifespan, ensure it is installed correctly, have it professionally maintained each year, and address any necessary repairs immediately.

Over time, a radiator can leak if turned off due to the built-up air pressure, which can cause water or coolant to leak. If your radiator leaks when it’s off, turn your whole system off and bleed the radiator, then turn it back on. If it’s still leaking, you might want to have an HVAC professional look at the issue.

Signs of needing a new expansion tank include visible leaks and a dull sound when you knock your knuckles against the tank (working tanks should sound hollow). A malfunctioning tank may also sweat with condensation, cause pipes to create loud noises when the system is turned off, and lead to very high-pressure readings on the boiler’s gauges. When in doubt, call for a professional inspection to find the source of the problem.

If you have a closed-system boiler that requires an expansion tank, you cannot safely operate it without one, as this risks extensive damage or even explosions. You must find a way to make room for the installation. Options include repositioning the boiler, rerouting the boiler piping to a more open area, or performing minor remodeling to create the necessary space. If you are unsure whether your boiler needs an expansion tank or how to best accommodate one, it's recommended to have a local heating service professional assess the situation. They can confirm the requirement and suggest the most practical solution.

While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.
