Frequently Asked Boiler Questions

How do I know if my boiler needs repair or replacement?

Consider repair if your boiler is less than 10-15 years old with isolated issues that can be fixed at reasonable cost. Replacement is often more economical when facing multiple repairs, efficiency problems, or a boiler older than 15 years. G&C Plumbing & Heating offers detailed inspections to help Franklin homeowners make this decision, providing transparent cost analysis of both options and considering factors like energy savings, repair frequency, and system reliability.

What are the most common boiler problems in Franklin homes?

The most frequent boiler issues we address in Franklin include pressure fluctuations requiring frequent refilling, circulator pump failures causing inadequate heat distribution, zone valve malfunctions affecting temperature control, thermostat communication problems, air locks in radiators, and kettling (rumbling noises due to scale buildup). Our experienced technicians quickly identify these issues and implement effective solutions to restore your heating system’s performance.

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Annual maintenance is recommended for all boilers in Franklin, ideally scheduled before the heating season begins in early fall. Regular professional service ensures optimal efficiency, identifies potential problems before they cause breakdowns, and maintains manufacturer warranty requirements. G&C Plumbing & Heating’s maintenance service includes comprehensive cleaning, safety testing, and performance optimization to keep your boiler operating reliably year after year.

What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency boiler?

Modern high-efficiency boilers offer substantial advantages for Franklin homeowners, including energy savings of 10-30% compared to older models, reduced carbon emissions, more consistent heating comfort, quieter operation, and potential rebates or tax incentives. While the initial investment is higher, most homeowners recoup these costs through energy savings within 5-7 years. G&C Plumbing & Heating can calculate your specific potential savings based on your home’s characteristics and usage patterns.

How long does boiler installation typically take?

Most standard boiler replacements in Franklin can be completed in one day (6-8 hours) by G&C Plumbing & Heating’s experienced installation team. More complex installations involving system redesign, multiple zones, or conversion between fuel types may require 1-2 days. We provide detailed timelines before beginning work and complete installations efficiently to minimize disruption to your home and heating service.

What types of boilers do you service and install?

G&C Plumbing & Heating works with all major boiler types in Franklin, including conventional and high-efficiency gas boilers, oil-fired systems, propane units, electric boilers, steam systems, hot water (hydronic) boilers, and combination boilers that provide both space heating and domestic hot water. Our technicians are factory-trained on major brands including Weil-McLain, Burnham, Viessmann, Navien, and Buderus, ensuring expert service regardless of your system type.
