Professional Steam Heating Repairs in Bergen County

Absolute Precision Plumbing & Heating provides steam heating repairs, maintenance and replacement in Saddle Brook and across Bergen County, NJ. Steam heat is common in older buildings, so few plumbers know how to work on it. We do.

A steam system that stops working in winter cannot wait. Therefore, call us at (551) 257-6200 as soon as you lose heat. For a heating emergency, reach our 24/7 hotline at 855-462-2765 (855 Go Absolute).

Steam Heating Repairs We Handle

A steam system has many parts, and each one can fail. Our steam heating repairs cover:

  • Steam boilers. We repair and service steam boilers, including the low water cut-off and the water level gauge glass.
  • Radiator valves. A stuck or leaking valve can keep a radiator cold, so we repair and replace them.
  • Steam piping and radiators. We also find the cause of banging pipes and radiators that will not heat.
  • Steam to hot water conversion. If you want to switch from steam to hot water heat, we can convert your system.

First, we find the cause. Then, we explain the fix before we start the work.

Signs You Need Steam Heating Repairs

Steam systems usually give warning signs before they fail. Call us if you notice any of these:

  • Radiators that stay cold or heat unevenly
  • Banging, knocking or hammering in the pipes
  • Leaking radiator valves or steam escaping from a valve
  • A water level that drops, or a boiler that shuts off
  • Rust, leaks or puddles around the boiler
  • Rising heating bills with no change in use

Some of these problems are small. However, others can lead to a full breakdown on the coldest night of the year. Because of this, call us at the first sign of trouble.

Finally, if you smell gas, leave the building right away. Then call 911 and your gas utility before you call us.

Steam Heating Repairs, Replacement and Conversion

Steam boilers do wear out. Frequent repairs and uneven heat are signs that it may be time to replace yours. First, our plumber will look at your system and explain your options. In some cases, steam heating repairs are the smart choice. In other cases, replacement or conversion saves money over time.

We install new steam boilers, and we can also convert a steam system to hot water. Because a new high efficiency boiler can lower your energy costs, you may also qualify for utility or manufacturer rebates. Check our rebates page to see what is available in New Jersey. For hot water systems, see our boiler replacement and installation page.

Annual Tune-Ups Prevent Steam Heating Repairs

Yearly maintenance helps a steam boiler run safely and last longer. For this reason, we offer annual tune-ups for steam boilers.

A tune-up is a chance to check the boiler, the water level controls and the piping for leaks and wear. As a result, small problems get fixed before they become a no-heat emergency in January.

Book your tune-up in the fall, before the heating season starts. To schedule one, call us at (551) 257-6200.
