Boiler Repair Tips
Our team of boiler technicians can assist in replacing boiler parts and completing other boiler repairs to restore your home’s heating and hot water system. It’s important to solve issues early on as they pop up to minimize any damage to your property.
How Do I Know If My Boiler Needs Repair?
Don’t wait until you have a significant emergency on your hands to get your boiler the repairs needed. While regular maintenance will help things work the way they should, understanding some of the common signs that your boiler needs repair can prove very useful.
Water Leaks
Boiler water leaks are never good. While some homeowners think they can simply patch leaks up and move on, most boiler leaks result from more extensive issues such as corrosion, poor installation, broken seals, or even damaged valves and pumps. Leaks need to be inspected and repaired by a professional technician to restore heat and prevent future water damage.
Unusual Smells
If odd smells are coming from your boiler or boiler room, contact your local boiler technicians right away. While the pungent smell of rotten eggs resulting from bacteria growth in the boiler is not a sign of immediate danger, the smell of natural gas or propane coming from your gas-fueled boiler is. In this case, turn off your gas and water supplies and give our team a call for help.
Strange Sounds
While some popping and rumbling may cause you to jump in the night, odd furnace noises don’t present any immediate danger. However, excessive kettling, gurgling, or whistling should be brought to the attention of a professional boiler technician as soon as possible to address the limescale build-up, trapped air, or blockage causing the issue.
No Heat / No Hot Water
You wake up and wobble to the shower only to notice no hot water and a cold house. While these are obvious signs repair is needed, these are common and should be dealt with quickly. Whether the diaphragm, valve, thermostat, or some other part of the boiler is broken, we’ll quickly complete the proper replacements and repairs.
Water is Not Getting Hot Enough
If the water in your boiler is not hot enough to heat your home effectively, or your water is coming out lukewarm, there could be a number of reasons why this is happening. Whether your thermostat or heating element needs to be replaced, help from a professional technician will be useful in locating the cause and finding a solution.

Tips From The HVAC Professionals
Frequently Asked Questions
What Size Of HVAC System Should I have?
Contrary to what you may believe, there is no set parameter for sizing a system to the precise square footage of your home. Because homes are all built so differently, your home’s HVAC system will depend on its specific construction.
To determine the size HVAC system you need, you need to have a licensed HVAC professional from Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning evaluate your home. Our expert technicians will examine your home’s layout and make recommendations depending on your home’s individual needs. Many factors go into calculating the size of a furnace or air conditioning system your home needs. Factors include the size of your home, the number of windows in your home and which direction they face, elements surrounding your home, and expectations your family has for the comfort of your home.
With all of this information, Aspen One Hour can propose a range of energy-efficient options for perfectly heating and cooling your space all year long. Call us today for your appointment!
Can I Increase The Efficiency Of My HVAC System?
Increasing the efficiency of your home’s HVAC system can be relatively easy. Most importantly, be sure to change your filters regularly and with the Aspen Comfort Club membership, you have peace of mind knowing that your filters are replaced at your annual tune-ups! Also, make sure your thermostat is set at higher temperatures in the summer and lower temperatures in the winter. It doesn’t take the body long to adjust to incremental changes of 2-5 degrees, and these changes can save you a lot of money on your energy bills.
Lastly, you’ll want to make sure you keep blinds closed on windows that let in direct sunlight, or use curtains to shade your home while still letting in some light. Though natural light is something we all crave, keeping your blinds and curtains closed during the hottest days of the year, especially if you are not home, can drastically decrease the effort your AC system is required to make.
How Often Do I Need Maintenance On My System?
Regular maintenance on your HVAC system should be performed twice a year. The licensed professionals at Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning recommend having your system serviced in the spring before the weather heats up again, and in the fall before the weather cools down. If you’re a member of our Comfort Club, this is included in your pre-paid services along with many other services we offer.
Having regular maintenance performed on your system allows for a longer system life, higher efficiency, and proactive service to stop issues before they happen. Call us today at (517) 879-2049 to schedule your maintenance or to join our Comfort Club!
How Does A Ductless Heat Pump Work?
In older homes that either have boiler or baseboard heating, there may not have ductwork run throughout the home, making it difficult and costly to add a traditional central air conditioning system. Therefore, a ductless heat pump, sometimes called a mini-split air conditioner or a ductless air conditioner, is a cooling system that does not utilize ducts for moving treated air throughout the space. It takes warm air from one area and moving it to another. There is an outdoor compressor unit as well as air handling units indoors to allow the system to function.
The heat is transferred through the system. It goes through the cycle of evaporation and condensation. A refrigerant substance is used through a compressor pump to help achieve this cooled air. The system contains two heat exchange coils. One of those contains the necessary refrigerant material. The other works to evaporate it. This allows the refrigerant to absorb the heat from the area. This happens during the evaporation process. They work to maintain the specific temperature a person desires by using a thermostat to control the movement of the air between the coil systems. If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s comfort but don’t have ductwork, a heat pump can be an excellent option.

Why Is Indoor Air Quality Important And What Can I Do To Improve It?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air within and around homes/buildings, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants. Good IAQ implies that the air is free from pollutants and contributes to a comfortable and safe living or working environment.
How Can I Improve My IAQ?
- Change air filters regularly
- Use air purifiers
- Ensure proper ventilation
- Control humidity levels
- Keep the living space clean and dust-free
How Often Should I Change My Filters?
Regular filter changes are vital for maintaining optimal performance. It is generally recommended to replace filters or clean reusable filters every one to three months. However, the frequency may vary based on factors like the type of filter, the level of usage, and the indoor air quality of your home.
Call Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning today to schedule your appointment to see how you can improve your air quality.
What Is The Lifespan Of An HVAC System And What Are Signs It May Need Replaced?
The average lifespan of an HVAC system is around 15-20 years, but factors such as maintenance, usage, type of system, and the quality of the equipment may decrease or increase the lifespan. Regular maintenance can significantly extend the system’s lifespan and Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help!
What Are Common Signs My System May Need Repair or Replacement?
- Unusual noises
