Your Heat's Back On Today, Not Tomorrow
Emergency Boiler Repair Orange, NJ
You’re not looking for a lecture on BTUs or efficiency ratings when it’s 28 degrees outside and your house feels like a freezer. You want your boiler fixed, your family warm, and a straight answer about what it’s going to cost.
That’s what happens when you call us. We diagnose the problem fast, explain what’s wrong in plain language, and get your boiler heating system back online. No runaround. No upselling you on a replacement when a repair will do the job.
Most boiler repair calls in Orange, NJ get handled the same day. If it’s a busted circulator pump, a faulty pressure valve, or a pilot light that won’t stay lit, we carry the parts and know the systems. You’re not waiting three days for heat while we “order something in.”
Boiler Service Orange, NJ Since 1973
We’ve been handling hvac repair in Orange, NJ since 1973. That’s five decades of service calls, system replacements, and middle-of-the-night emergencies across Essex County.
We’re not a national franchise with a call center in another state. We’re local, family-owned, and we’ve probably worked on a boiler in your neighborhood before. The older homes around Orange still run steam boilers that need someone who actually knows how they work, not someone reading a manual for the first time.
When you call, you’re talking to people who’ve seen every type of breakdown, every brand, and every “creative” previous repair job you can imagine. We fix it right so you’re not calling someone else next month.
How Boiler Repair Works in Orange
You call or contact us online. We ask a few quick questions about what’s happening with your system—no heat, strange noises, leaking, whatever it is. If it’s an emergency, we prioritize getting someone out fast.
Our technician shows up with a fully stocked truck. We run diagnostics on your boiler, check the pressure, inspect the heat exchanger, test the ignition system, and look for leaks or worn components. Then we tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.
If you approve the repair, we handle it on the spot in most cases. We’re talking about replacing a faulty zone valve, fixing a circulator pump, bleeding air from the lines, or swapping out a thermocouple. Once the repair is done, we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and safely.
You get a clear explanation of what we did, and your heat works again. That’s the process. No mystery, no waiting around.

Boiler Maintenance Orange, NJ Services
We handle everything from emergency boiler repair in Orange, NJ to annual boiler maintenance that keeps your system running efficiently. That includes gas furnace repair, steam boiler service, hot water boiler systems, and all the components that make them work—pumps, valves, controls, and piping.
If your system is older and parts are getting hard to find, we know where to source them. If it’s a newer high-efficiency condensing boiler, we’re trained on those too. Brands like Weil-McLain, Utica, Burnham, and Peerless are all systems we work on regularly in this area.
Orange has a mix of older homes with cast iron radiators and newer construction with baseboard heating. Both rely on a functioning boiler, and both need technicians who understand the differences. A steam system operates differently than a hot water system, and the troubleshooting isn’t the same.
We also offer furnace maintenance in Orange, NJ for homes that use forced air instead of boiler heat. If you’ve got both systems or you’re not sure what you have, we’ll figure it out and fix what’s broken.
How much does boiler repair cost in Orange, NJ?
Most boiler repairs in Orange, NJ run between $200 and $800 depending on what’s broken. A simple fix like replacing a thermocouple or resetting a pressure valve is on the lower end. If you need a new circulator pump, zone valve, or gas valve, you’re looking at more.
We give you a clear estimate before we do the work. No surprise charges, no “oh by the way” fees after the fact. Emergency calls outside normal hours may have a trip charge, but we’ll tell you that upfront when you call.
If your boiler is old and needs multiple expensive repairs, we’ll be honest about whether it makes sense to keep fixing it or if replacement is the smarter move. A new high-efficiency boiler can cut your heating bills by 20-30%, so sometimes the math works in your favor to upgrade.
What are the most common boiler problems in Orange homes?
The most common issues we see are no heat, uneven heating, strange noises, and leaks. No heat usually comes down to a faulty ignition system, a tripped safety switch, or low water pressure. Uneven heating is often air trapped in the lines or a bad zone valve.
Banging or kettling noises mean sediment buildup in the heat exchanger or water hammer in the pipes. Both are fixable but shouldn’t be ignored. Leaks can come from a cracked heat exchanger, loose fittings, or a failing pressure relief valve.
Older boilers in Orange tend to have issues with corroded pipes and worn-out pumps. Newer systems sometimes have sensor failures or control board problems. Either way, the fix starts with accurate diagnosis, and that’s where experience matters more than guessing.
Do you offer emergency boiler repair in Orange, NJ?
Yes. We’re available 24/7 for heating emergencies. If your boiler goes out in the middle of the night or on a weekend, you can reach us and we’ll get someone out as fast as possible.
A broken boiler in January isn’t something you can wait on. Frozen pipes, unsafe conditions, and a freezing house are real problems that need immediate attention. We treat emergency calls seriously and prioritize getting your heat back on.
Most emergency repairs get handled the same day or within hours of your call. We stock common parts and have access to suppliers across North Jersey, so we’re not stuck waiting on shipments for basic components. If it’s fixable, we fix it fast.
How often should I schedule boiler maintenance in Orange, NJ?
Once a year, ideally before winter starts. Annual boiler maintenance catches small problems before they turn into expensive breakdowns. It also keeps your system running efficiently, which saves you money on heating bills.
During a maintenance visit, we clean the heat exchanger, check the burner and ignition system, test safety controls, inspect for leaks, and make sure water pressure and temperature settings are correct. We also check the flue and venting to make sure combustion gases are venting safely.
Skipping maintenance doesn’t seem like a big deal until your boiler quits on the coldest night of the year. Regular service extends the life of your system and reduces the chance of a mid-winter failure. It’s a lot cheaper than an emergency repair or early replacement.
Can you repair all types of boilers and heating systems?
Yes. We work on steam boilers, hot water boilers, high-efficiency condensing boilers, and combination boiler systems. We also handle furnace repair service in Orange, NJ for forced-air heating systems.
Brands we service regularly include Weil-McLain, Burnham, Utica, Peerless, Slant/Fin, Buderus, and Viessmann. If you’ve got an older system or something less common, we’ve probably worked on it before. We’ve been doing this for 50 years, so there aren’t many surprises left.
Whether it’s a 60-year-old cast iron steam boiler in a Victorian home or a modern wall-hung unit in a newer build, we have the training and parts access to handle the repair. If it heats your home and it’s broken, we can fix it.
What should I do if my boiler stops working suddenly?
First, check your thermostat to make sure it’s set to heat and the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. It sounds basic, but it’s worth ruling out. Next, check your circuit breaker to see if the boiler tripped a breaker or if a fuse blew.
If those aren’t the issue, check the boiler itself. Look at the pressure gauge—if it’s reading too low or too high, that could be the problem. Some boilers have a reset button; you can try pressing it once, but don’t keep hitting it if it doesn’t work.
If none of that helps, call us. Don’t try to force the system to run or start taking things apart if you’re not trained on boiler repair. Gas boilers especially need to be handled carefully. We’ll walk you through anything urgent over the phone and get a technician out to handle the actual repair.
