Boiler installation, repair and radiant heating in Hamilton

Many of the older homes in Dundas and Hamilton heat with hot water, and newer builds are adding in-floor radiant. We install, service and repair the boilers behind both.

Condensing boilers

A modern wall-hung condensing boiler runs at 90 to 95 percent efficiency and takes up a fraction of the space of the cast-iron unit it replaces. It modulates its flame to match the heat the house actually needs, which is why radiator systems feel so steady. We size the boiler to the radiation in the house and set up outdoor reset so it runs cooler, and cheaper, on mild days.

We install and service Viessmann, NTI, Navien, IBC, Lochinvar and Weil-McLain boilers, and we repair the older cast-iron units that are still heating half of Dundas.

Radiant floors, radiators and combi units

We install and repair in-floor radiant loops, zone valves and manifolds, panel and cast-iron radiators, and combination boilers that supply both space heating and domestic hot water from one appliance, which can retire a separate water heater. Bleeding, balancing and purging a hydronic system properly is half the job; we do not leave until every zone heats.

Annual boiler service

A boiler needs the same yearly attention as a furnace: burner and heat exchanger cleaned, combustion analysis, expansion tank and relief valve checked, pumps and zone valves tested, system pressure and water quality confirmed. A boiler that is serviced every fall lasts years longer than one that is not, and the service can be booked alongside a furnace tune-up for homes that have both.

Questions about boilers

How long does a boiler last?

A cast-iron boiler often runs 25 to 35 years; a modern wall-hung condensing boiler 15 to 20 with annual service. Replacement is usually worth it when a cast-iron unit needs a major repair, because the condensing boiler that replaces it cuts the gas bill by a quarter or more and takes a fraction of the space.

Can a combi boiler replace my tank water heater?

Often, yes. A combination boiler supplies both the radiators or in-floor heat and the domestic hot water from one appliance, which removes the tank and any rental on it. It suits homes with moderate hot-water demand; a large household with several bathrooms may still be better with a separate indirect tank. We size it from your hot-water use, not just the heating load. See boilers and radiant heating.
