Boiler Repair

For no heat, low or high pressure, leaks, kettling noises, ignition lockouts or circulator failures, S&S Mechanical repairs residential and commercial boilers in Reno, Sparks and Carson City. We service most major brands and offer 24/7 emergency boiler repair during Northern Nevada winters.

Common boiler problems

Lockouts from dirty flame sensors or condensate traps, failed circulator pumps, waterlogged expansion tanks and leaking relief valves account for most of our boiler repair calls.

Pressure warnings

Residential hot-water boilers typically run 12–20 PSI cold. If yours is near 30 PSI and the relief valve is weeping, the expansion tank or fill valve has likely failed. Call us; do not cap the relief valve.

Call for boiler repair if

  • No heat or uneven heat between zones
  • Pressure gauge reading too high or low
  • Banging, kettling or gurgling sounds
  • Water around the boiler
  • Error codes or repeated lockouts
  • Pilot or burner will not light

Where we provide this service

Boiler Repair FAQs

Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?

A leak somewhere in the system, a failed expansion tank or a weeping relief valve are the usual causes. We pressure-test to locate it.

Is a banging boiler dangerous?

Kettling usually means scale or sediment in the heat exchanger or poor flow. It is not immediately dangerous but reduces efficiency and should be serviced.

Do you offer emergency boiler service?

Yes. Call (775) 406-1687 any time for no-heat emergencies.
