Boiler Repair in New Boston, NH
Voted Manchester, NH Top Plumbing Company
- High Quality
- Customer Service Focused
- 20+ Years Experience
New Boston is a small country town where homes are tucked along hilly back roads, and its heating systems range from very old to brand new. In and around the village center by the Piscataquog River, historic homes and farmhouses often still run steam or gravity hot water through cast iron radiators, and those systems tend to suffer from sticky valves, sediment, and piping that has been changed many times over. The homes built in the 1970s and 1980s along Route 13 and the side roads mostly use hot water baseboard, where original pumps and zone valves are near the end of their run. The newest homes built on big wooded lots are mostly heated with forced air furnaces instead.
LHR Plumbing and Heating is glad to make the trip out for any of them. Our boiler repair technicians handle old farmhouse systems and modern condensing units alike, and we always share pricing upfront.
Boiler Repair & Troubleshooting
Hilltop wind, deep snow, and long heating seasons give New Boston boilers a tough workload, and trouble can show up almost anywhere in the system.
- At the radiators or baseboard, cold spots while the boiler runs often mean a failed circulator, a stuck zone valve, or air in the lines.
- In the pipes, banging and gurgling usually come from trapped air or water sitting in older piping.
- Around the base of the boiler, puddles or a pressure gauge that won’t hold steady can point to a bad relief valve or expansion tank.
- At the burner, a pilot that won’t stay lit or a lockout code on a newer unit signals ignition or control problems.
- On your fuel bill, a steady climb can mean the boiler is short cycling and wasting fuel all winter.
Wherever the problem starts, we find the root cause, repair it properly, and test the whole system before we head home.
Boiler Repair Prevention & Replacement
Fixing a boiler on a mild September afternoon is a lot easier for everyone than fixing it during a January storm at the end of a long, snowy driveway. That’s why a fall tune-up makes so much sense in New Boston. We clean the burner, test the safety controls and pressure, bleed air from the lines, and replace worn parts while the weather is still friendly. Our membership plans schedule that visit for you each year and give you priority service if a repair comes up later.
Time for a new boiler? If yours is pushing 20 years old, breaks down every winter, or can’t keep a drafty older home warm, replacement usually makes more sense than another repair. A properly sized high-efficiency boiler burns less fuel, and adding modern thermostats makes it easy to set different temperatures for each zone. We install to current code and offer financing to keep the project affordable.
Furnace Repair for Newer Homes
The newest homes in New Boston are mostly heated with forced air furnaces, so our furnace repair service matters here as much as boiler work.
- Not every furnace problem means a big repair, and many come down to an igniter, flame sensor, or filter.
- Not every cold room is a duct issue, since a weak blower motor can leave far rooms chilly.
- Not every home needs to rely on one heat source, and heat pumps can work alongside your furnace.
- Not every thermostat is set up right in a new build, so we check and adjust it.
- Not every breakdown can wait, so our emergency heating repair responds fast, and we thaw frozen lines too.
Boiler or furnace, one trusted number takes care of it.
A Recent Boiler Repair in New Boston, NH
Kevin called us from his farmhouse near the village center when his boiler stopped responding to the thermostat during a cold week last winter. Our technician tracked the problem to the basement, where mice had chewed through the thermostat wire. He ran new wire, replaced the old thermostat, and tested the system through several heating cycles to make sure it answered every call for heat. Kevin said he’d been ready for bad news about the boiler and was happy to hear it just needed a simple fix.
