Boilers make life so comfortable, with the hot and warm water we all enjoy. When the boiler stops working, your quality of life suffers without access to it for cooking, cleaning, washing, and bathing.
New York and New Jersey are in the top ten states where home repairs (such as boilers) occur most frequently.
We see different signs indicating that a boiler repair in Manhattan is necessary and what causes the most damage. Here are the signs of when you should call a professional to diagnose the problem and keep everything in good condition.
Noises from the Boiler
A common issue we see is your water heater making a kettle-like noise that sounds like a tea kettle brewing. A noise like this means you want to have a professional come out and look at the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger is the intake valve that delivers the heat to the water, to maintain a constant temperature. Over time, the heat exchanger builds up deposits that make it work harder. The noise is the extra pressure on the exchanger to perform essential functions.
A continuous kettle noise signifies that the indicator is under increasing strain, and you need to have the boiler serviced.
We recommend calling our trained professionals to evaluate the state of your boiler and any issues.

The Pilot Lights Keeps Going Out
The boiler runs off a blue flame at the bottom that provides a continuous flow of heat for the water. If you notice that the flame keeps going out, this could be an issue with the thermocouple.
Situations like this require a professional who checks to see if the gas is flowing; and relight the boiler safely. If you wait, a gas leak could be developing, which is a health hazard to you and your family.
