Reliable Heat Through Every Cold Season

Hayes Heating and Cooling provides boiler installation, repair, and maintenance throughout Puyallup, Washington.

When your boiler stops heating evenly or you notice unusual pressure fluctuations, the problem often comes down to age, mineral buildup, or failing components common in Puyallup homes with older hydronic systems. Hayes Heating and Cooling works with hot water and radiant heating systems throughout the area, addressing issues that range from cold radiators to leaking valves. If you depend on consistent warmth during the wet and cold months, understanding how your boiler operates and when it needs attention makes a noticeable difference.

Boiler services include installation of new hydronic heating systems, repair of existing equipment, and ongoing maintenance to keep heat flowing safely and efficiently. Whether your home uses baseboard radiators or in-floor radiant heat, Hayes Heating and Cooling evaluates system pressure, combustion settings, and water circulation to identify what is causing the problem. The team also works with modern HVAC and ductless systems that may integrate with your boiler setup, helping you maintain comfort without replacing your entire heating infrastructure.

What Happens During a Boiler Service Call

When you schedule a service visit in Puyallup, the technician inspects your boiler's pressure gauge, circulator pump, expansion tank, and burner assembly to determine why your system is underperforming. This includes testing zone valves, checking for leaks around fittings, and measuring water temperature to confirm the boiler is cycling correctly. Depending on the issue, repairs may involve replacing a thermocouple, adjusting the aquastat, or flushing sediment from the heat exchanger.

After the work is complete, you should notice rooms heating more evenly, quieter operation, and faster recovery time when the thermostat calls for heat. Boilers that receive regular maintenance use less fuel and are less likely to fail during the coldest weeks of the year.

Hayes Heating and Cooling also designs new boiler installations for custom homes and older properties where hydronic heat is the preferred solution. The team accounts for system sizing, pipe layout, and integration with existing radiators or radiant flooring. Boiler service does not include ductwork or forced-air components, but it can be coordinated with other heating systems already in your home.

You probably have a few questions before booking

Homeowners in Puyallup often ask about system compatibility, repair timelines, and what to watch for before a boiler stops working entirely. These are the questions that come up most often during service consultations.

What are the most common reasons a boiler stops heating?
Most failures result from low water pressure, a malfunctioning circulator pump, or a faulty thermostat. Air trapped in the system or a broken zone valve can also prevent heat from reaching certain rooms.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
You should schedule maintenance once a year, ideally before the heating season begins. Annual service includes cleaning the burner, testing safety controls, and checking for leaks or corrosion.
When should I replace a boiler instead of repairing it?
If your boiler is over twenty years old, requires frequent repairs, or no longer heats efficiently, replacement becomes the more practical option. Hayes Heating and Cooling can help you compare repair costs to the benefits of a new system.
How long does a typical boiler repair take?
Most repairs are completed in two to four hours depending on the issue. If parts need to be ordered, the technician will return once the components arrive.
What should I do if my boiler is leaking water?
Turn off the boiler and call for service right away. Leaks can damage flooring and indicate a cracked heat exchanger or failed pressure relief valve, both of which require immediate attention.
