Is your boiler malfunctioning? A functioning boiler is essential for businesses in all industries. We can send a technician to perform an inspection to locate the source of the problem. We show up on time and get right to work to assess the issue and explain your options for boiler repair. Don’t wait to call for repair service if you notice your unit isn’t working as it should or suspect a problem.
A commercial boiler needs attention when:
- It takes too long for your building to get warm
- The building stays cold even when the heat is turned up
- The boiler is leaking
- The flame is yellow, rather than blue
- Your heating costs have been rising
Lack of pressure is one of the most common problems with boilers. When this is the problem, we will shut down the unit and allow it to cool. Once it is cool enough, our technicians will remove the necessary parts, replace the washers, install the new packing, and assemble the new valve. Regardless of the problem, we work quickly to get your boiler ready to run again and minimize the impact on your business.
When you start to notice that your boiler’s heating performance or energy efficiency seems to be going down, it may be that there is a leak somewhere on the boiler. With natural gas, high temperatures, and pressure, it’s best to call our technicians who can help you identify the problems with your boiler. But, how do you know when your boiler needs repairs? Below we have provided 3 signs to be on the lookout for to know when your boiler may need repairs.
- Signs Of Water Leakage –
If you notice evidence of your boiler having a leak, make sure you contact us right away. A boiler leak is something you should take seriously as it can potentially damage property, and structures of your home and breed mold. Don’t delay in contacting us if you notice your boiler has a leak. - Strange Sounds –
Hissing noises coming from your boiler are worth paying attention to as this is possibly an indicator of a deposit forming. This may not require repair as much as it requires cleaning. Make sure you provide your boiler with regular maintenance to ensure that your unit stays in peak condition. - Low Water Pressure –
Boilers require a certain amount of water pressure. If your boiler’s water pressure drops below a certain level a safety switch will automatically turn off the boiler. If this is happening, your boiler may be in need of repair. - How Long Do Boilers Last?
Generally speaking, you should expect a modern boiler to last around 15 years with proper maintenance – some boilers may last even longer. It is important to take proper care of your boiler in order to get the longest life out of it.
Whether you need a new boiler for a new commercial facility, renovation, or because your existing boiler is not meeting your heating needs, we can help. If your commercial boiler is old, inefficient, your energy costs are rising, or there are hot and cold spots in different areas of the building, these are signs that a new boiler may be needed.
We can help you find the right boiler and consider factors such as:
- The size of your facility
- Available fuel sources
- Heating and hot water requirements
- Energy usage

Heating Frequently Asked Questions
- Different conditions in the house determine how often the filter needs to be changed, such as pets, cigarette smoke, dust etc. We recommend checking your filter every 2 months to gauge how often it needs replacement.
The average life of a furnace is around 20 years with routine maintenance. If your unit is around this age, it may be more cost effective to have it replaced versus keeping up with repairs.
New Mexico gas is responsible for the gas line up to the meter. Any appliances or lines after the meter are the responsibility of the homeowner. We can check your appliances for any code violations and depending on your situation, the problem may be corrected with a repair. Some situations require the replacement of the appliance in question.
A single-stage furnace has just one gear when it runs. A two-stage furnace has a low gear and a high gear. A two-stage furnace will run in a lower gear in milder weather versus a single stage which will run in a higher gear.
Load calculations are used to determine the size of a furnace needed to heat your home. They take into account total square footage, home construction, and the weather conditions of the area. Furnaces are usually sized with the coldest days of the year in mind. With New Mexico’s mild weather, a furnace running at full capacity is not always necessary. That’s where a two-stage furnace comes in. Two-stage furnaces start in a lower stage of heat which uses less gas and electricity thus cutting down on utility costs. On days where the demand for heat is greater, the furnace will run at full capacity
We recommend checking your filter as the first step for any issues with your furnace. If it is dirty, change it and give it a day to see if it improves. If not, give us a call to troubleshoot the unit.
