Boiler Services
Boulder has many homes with hydronic heat, older boiler rooms, baseboard zones, radiant floors, and mixed upgrade histories. We service and replace boiler systems in Boulder because the city requires a mechanical license for this work, and we also evaluate air-to-water heat pump options when electrification is part of the project.
What we service
Boiler work is more than swapping a box. We look at the full hydronic system: the boiler, pumps, expansion tank, air elimination, valves, controls, venting, piping condition, and the heating emitters throughout the home.
- Boiler diagnosis, repair, replacement, and condition inspections
- Circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks, relief valves, and controls
- Baseboard, radiator, and radiant floor heating support
- Combustion, venting, water pressure, and safety checks
Boulder mechanical license requirements
We specifically offer boiler service in Boulder because a mechanical license is required in the city. That matters for permitted boiler replacement, venting changes, gas piping coordination, hydronic alterations, and inspections.
If your boiler is in Boulder city limits, we will account for local requirements before recommending a repair, replacement, or electrification path.
Air-to-water heat pump options
Some hydronic homes can move away from a traditional gas boiler by using an air-to-water heat pump. These systems pull heat from outdoor air and deliver heated water to the home's hydronic distribution system.
They are not a drop-in fit for every boiler system. We evaluate design water temperature, radiators or radiant floors, insulation, electrical capacity, outdoor unit placement, and backup heat needs before recommending air-to-water.
Lower-temperature radiant systems, well-insulated homes, or projects already planning electrical upgrades.
Older baseboard or radiator systems that need high water temperatures during cold weather.
Repair or replacement
We start with diagnosis and safety. If the boiler is repairable and parts are available, repair may be the right call. Replacement becomes more likely when parts are hard to get, venting or safety issues are significant, efficiency is poor, or the system age makes repeated repairs a bad investment.
Boiler FAQ
Do you work on boilers in Boulder?
Yes. We do boiler work in Boulder because a mechanical license is required in the city, and we are set up to handle permitted mechanical work correctly.
Do you install new boilers?
Yes. We can evaluate boiler replacement, hydronic piping, circulators, expansion tanks, controls, venting, and safety components. The exact scope depends on the existing system and local permit requirements.
Can a heat pump replace a boiler?
Sometimes. Air-to-water heat pumps can serve some hydronic heating systems, but the fit depends on water temperature requirements, emitters, insulation, electrical capacity, and backup heat strategy.
Can you repair older boiler systems?
Often, yes. We look at parts availability, safety, system age, and repair cost before recommending repair or replacement. Older hydronic systems need careful diagnosis before making big changes.
