Numerous homeowners and Airdrie and Calgary businesses rely on boiler systems for both heating and hot water needs.

Boiler Maintenance & Warranties
Annual Boiler Maintenance is Cost Effective
Without proper maintenance, boilers can become less efficient due to years of use and mineral buildup. When water becomes heated, especially hard water, it leaves behind minerals that can create havoc for your boiler. Calgary is known for its hard water so regular maintenance is essential to ensure your boiler is running efficiently.
To properly maintain and prevent problems with your boiler it is important to have it serviced annually by a certified technician. An annual boiler service is the most efficient and cost-effective way to keep your boiler in good working order, by diagnosing problems early and limiting costly repairs. More importantly, neglecting to get your boiler serviced annually will in most cases invalidate the boilers warranty.
Let Our Gas Plumbing Experts Handle Your Boiler Problems
Experienced & Reliable Boiler Professionals
Most boiler problems are difficult for a homeowner to diagnose on their own, and if you're not a certified professional you should never attempt any repairs that involve removing the boiler casing. Removing a boiler casing is not only dangerous, but it will also invalidate any warranty you may have on your boiler regardless how old it is.
We encourage you to contact our experienced and certified boiler technicians today if you are experiencing any boiler issues in Airdrie, Calgary or surrounding areas.
