Hydronic Heating Repair Services
Hydronic heating systems are typically very sturdy and durable, but they do need repairs occasionally. These systems run on a complex network of plumbing, so if your boiler or other hydronic heating system is experiencing issues, call Len The Plumber for repair service. Our licensed plumbers have years of experience diagnosing and repairing all types, makes, and models of hydronic heating. We’ll arrive promptly, on the same day you call, in fully stocked service vehicles to resolve your problems as quickly as possible.
The most common issues we see with hydronic heating systems include:
- Air locks – Your boiler system is pressurized and should not contain any air. If an air bubble forms, it can block the flow of water and cause numerous performance issues. We have the right equipment to detect air bubbles and repair them to restore full function to your heating system.
- Pipe leaks – A leak could occur at any point in your hydronic heating system’s plumbing and may be hidden from view. If you suspect you have a leak, don’t wait to call for service. A leak can cause serious damage if left untreated.
- Frozen pipes – When temperatures plunge, your boiler’s pipes may freeze under certain circumstances. Losing power and heat makes frozen pipes much more likely, so be on the lookout and call for service at the first sign of frozen pipes.

Hydronic Heating FAQs
What is a hydronic heating system?
A hydronic heating system heats your home using water. A boiler heats the water, then distributes it as steam or hot water to heat baseboards, radiators, or radiant floor systems. Hydronic heating creates much more even and steady temperatures throughout a home when compared to forced-air heating.
Is hydronic heating efficient?
Water is a better conductor of heat than air is, making hydronic heating more efficient than forced air heating like furnaces or heat pumps. Radiant heat (via hydronic heating systems) is also more even, resulting in higher efficiency and improved comfort.
How do I know if I have a boiler in my home?
The best indication as to whether your home utilizes a boiler is to note what is going in and coming out of your heater. If you see pipes or tubing, this is a good indicator that your home uses a boiler system, as pipes transport water—rather than ductwork, which transports air.
What are the benefits of hydronic heating over using a furnace?
The biggest benefit is energy efficiency. It takes less energy to circulate water than it does to blow hot air, so hydronic systems will reduce your energy bill. Likewise, hydronic systems don’t require air filters since they don’t produce blowing air, saving you money on filter replacement as well.
Are boilers efficient?
Boilers are very efficient because they use water rather than air to heat your home. Energy efficiency in boilers and furnaces is measured by annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE), and today’s boilers can be as efficient as 98.5%. That means that they turn 98.5% of the fuel that they burn into heat for your home!
How do I know if I need a new boiler?
If your boiler is between 10 and 15 years old, it may be time to consider replacing it with a more energy-efficient model. Today’s boilers can increase efficiency up to 98.5%! If your boiler is taking longer to heat up, doesn’t seem to be able to keep up with your needs, or is running up your energy bill, a replacement will give you more efficient, powerful heating for enhanced comfort and savings on energy.
