Boiler repair, service, and installation in Calgary
Boilers heat many Calgary homes through radiators, baseboards, and in-floor heating, and when one stops, the whole house feels it. ER Plumbing & Heating repairs, services, and replaces boilers for homes, multi-unit properties, and light commercial spaces, including high-efficiency condensing and combi boilers. A real technician answers 24/7 if your heat goes out.

Common problems
Boiler problems we repair
Modern boilers are reliable, but they depend on pressure, flow, and clean combustion. These are the faults we are called for most.
No heat, or not enough
An ignition fault, a pump that is not circulating, low system pressure, or a control problem can all leave the house cold.
Pressure too low or too high
Low pressure often means a leak or a failing fill valve. Pressure that keeps climbing can point to the expansion tank or relief valve.
Leaks around the boiler
Leaks at valves, fittings, or the relief valve should be checked quickly, before they damage flooring or the boiler itself.
Banging, kettling, or gurgling
Noise usually means air in the system, scale on the heat exchanger, or a flow problem somewhere in the loops.
Boiler locks out
Modern boilers shut down and show a fault code when something is wrong. We read the code and find the cause instead of just resetting it.
No hot water from a combi
A combi boiler heats both the home and the domestic hot water, so one fault can affect either or both.
Boiler service
Annual boiler service
A boiler should be serviced once a year, ideally before heating season. Regular service catches small problems early and keeps the boiler running efficiently through the winter.
What a service covers
- Combustion check and burner inspection
- Cleaning the heat exchanger and condensate trap on condensing boilers
- Checking system pressure, the expansion tank, and the relief valve
- Testing pumps, zone valves, and controls
- Inspecting venting and gas connections
Signs it is overdue
- Gas bills creeping up through the winter
- Some rooms or zones heating more slowly than they used to
- The pressure gauge needing a top-up
- New noises when the boiler fires
- More than a year since the last service
Repair or replace
Should you repair or replace your boiler?
A boiler is a long-lived appliance, and many faults are worth repairing. We give you a straight answer either way.
Repair is usually the right call when
- The boiler has been maintained and is not near the end of its life
- The fault is a pump, valve, sensor, or igniter
- The heat exchanger is in good condition
Replacement is worth discussing when
- The boiler is older and needs a major repair
- Repairs are becoming frequent
- The heat exchanger is leaking
- You want hot water from the same unit with a combi boiler
As an authorized Navien dealer, we can walk you through high-efficiency condensing and combi options, and we install new boilers to code with permits when the work requires them.
Boilers and in-floor heating
Boilers for hydronic and in-floor heating
The boiler is the heart of a hydronic system. If you have in-floor heating, the boiler, pumps, mixing valves, and manifolds all work together, so we look at the whole system when one part has a problem.
Whole-system diagnosis
A cold zone is not always a boiler problem. We check the controls, pumps, and loops before recommending any part.
Combi boilers for heat and hot water
A combi boiler can run your in-floor heating and supply domestic hot water from one wall-mounted unit.
Clean, serviceable installs
We lay out boiler rooms so valves, pumps, and controls are easy to reach for future service.
Learn more about in-floor heating, see inside a modern hydronic heating panel, or read whether in-floor hydronic heating is worth it in Calgary.

FAQ
Boiler repair FAQs
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in the fall before heating season.
How long does a boiler last?
It varies with the type of boiler, water quality, and maintenance. Many boilers last 15 years or more, and condensing boilers in particular depend on regular service.
How much does boiler repair cost in Calgary?
It depends on the fault, the parts, and the type of boiler, so we explain the cost once we have diagnosed it. Emergency and after-hours service may be priced differently from standard scheduled work, so ask about the rate when you call. Your technician will explain what the repair involves and what it will cost.
What is a combi boiler?
A combi boiler heats your home and your domestic hot water from one wall-mounted unit, which frees up the space a separate water heater would take.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
Usually a small leak somewhere in the system, a failing relief valve, or an expansion tank problem. Topping it up treats the symptom; finding the cause fixes it.
Do you work on commercial boilers?
We service and repair boilers for homes, multi-unit properties, and light commercial spaces.
