Types of Boilers We Service in Metro Vancouver
At Quan Plumbing and Heating, our technicians have years of experience working with a range of boiler types, including floor models and high-efficiency wall-hung boilers, from brands such as Superhot, Weil McClain, Navien, Viessmann, IBC, Raypak, Laars, and Rinnai.
In residential heating systems, boilers provide warmth through radiant heating, whether baseboard heating or radiant floor systems. Even well-built boilers can develop issues like inconsistent heat or no hot water over time, and our team has the experience to diagnose and resolve a wide range of boiler problems.
Signs Your Boiler Needs a Professional's Help
Many boiler issues develop gradually, with subtle symptoms appearing before the system fails outright.
If you notice any of these signs in your home, it's worth scheduling a service visit:
- Inconsistent heating between rooms or floors of the home
- Cold spots on radiators or warm areas of a radiant floor
- Unusual noises from the boiler, including banging, kettling, whistling, or gurgling
- Pilot light or burner ignition problems on gas units
- Visible leaks, dripping, or rust around the boiler or connected piping
- A noticeable smell of gas near the boiler (call your gas utility immediately if you smell gas)
- Rising heating bills with no other obvious cause
- Frequent need to refill or repressurize the system
Catching these signs early often makes the difference between a straightforward repair and a major replacement. A diagnostic visit from a Vancouver boiler technician can identify the underlying cause and outlines your options before any work begins.
Boiler Repair vs. Replacement
Boiler problems don't always require a full replacement. A unit that is generally in good condition with a single failed component, such as an igniter, circulator pump, or pressure relief valve, is often worth repairing. Boilers that show multiple failing parts, persistent leaks, corrosion in the heat exchanger, or that have already exceeded their typical service life are usually better candidates for replacement.
Most residential boilers last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance, though high-efficiency condensing models and older cast-iron units can vary on either side of that range. When it's time to replace, upgrading to a modern high-efficiency boiler can reduce your heating costs significantly over the long term. Our technicians can assess the condition of your current boiler and walk you through which path makes more sense for your situation.

No Heat or Hot Water
A lack of heat or hot water may be caused by thermostat failures, low water levels, or broken diaphragms. Our experienced technicians can pinpoint the exact issue and deliver the repairs you need to stay warm and comfortable.

Leaking and Dripping
Leaks from boilers can signal broken internal components or excessive pressure. We quickly diagnose the source of the leak and offer targeted repair solutions to restore safe operation.
-
Strange Noises
Banging, gurgling, or whistling sounds can indicate air buildup, limescale accumulation, or pump failure inside your boiler. We expertly handle these issues before they cause more significant damage or performance problems.

If your heating system is losing pressure, it can affect the efficiency and safety of your boiler. We repair pressure loss problems caused by leaks, valve failures, or recent bleeding of radiators.
