Should I repair or replace my boiler?

If your boiler is under 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a replacement, repair usually makes sense. If it is over 15-20 years old, needs frequent repairs, or uses significantly more fuel than it should, replacement is often the better long-term investment. Our technician can help you weigh the options.

How long do boilers typically last?

Cast iron boilers can last 20-30 years or more with proper maintenance. Modern steel boilers typically last 15-20 years. Regular annual maintenance extends the lifespan and helps catch small problems before they become major repairs.

Why is my boiler losing pressure?

Common causes include a water leak somewhere in the system, a failed expansion tank, a faulty pressure relief valve, or air trapped in the pipes. Our technician can pressure-test the system to find the source of the pressure loss.

What causes banging noises in a boiler?

Banging or kettling noises are usually caused by mineral scale buildup on the heat exchanger, air trapped in the system, or restricted water flow through the pipes. These issues worsen over time and should be addressed before they cause more damage.

Can you repair old steam boilers?

Yes. Many Bergen County homes still have steam boiler systems, and H. Hofmeister & Co. has experience servicing them. We repair steam traps, valves, pressuretrol controls, sight glasses, and other steam-specific components.

How often should a boiler be serviced?
