Boiler Services in Windsor

Boiler Services for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses with radiators in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Windsor has more hot water heating than anywhere else in the region, especially in Walkerville and the older core, where brick homes still have their original cast iron radiators. Many of those systems are running on oversized boilers from decades ago, and a properly sized condensing boiler can cut fuel use noticeably.

What's included

Repair, maintenance and replacement for hot water boilers and radiant heating systems, including high-efficiency combi boilers. Depending on your home and equipment, the work can include:

• Repairs
• Annual maintenance
• Replacement
• Combi boilers
• Radiant floors
• Cold radiators or zones.
• Pressure creeping up.
• Banging or gurgling.
• Frequent short cycling.
• Leaks or rust.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor's older homes include more hot water and converted gravity heating systems than anywhere else in the region, alongside post-war bungalows with forced air. Venting is a common issue: when a furnace moves to PVC venting, an old masonry chimney may be left serving only the water heater, which we plan for in the quote.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for boiler services in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Is the boiler sized to my home's heat loss, or to the old boiler?
• What venting and condensate changes does a high-efficiency boiler need?
• Will you check the expansion tank and relief valve?
• Would a combi boiler work for my hot water needs?

Permits and licensing

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Some HVAC work, such as new ductwork in renovations or changes that affect the building structure, may need a permit, while gas appliance installations must be done by a TSSA-registered contractor and electrical work by a licensed electrical contractor. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
