Boiler problems can leave your home cold and your pipes at risk during a BC winter. Hippo Plumbing & Heating diagnoses and repairs all types of boiler issues — from pressure faults and ignition failures to circulator pump failures and leaking heat exchangers — throughout Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, and the wider Lower Mainland.
Our heating technicians are experienced with all major boiler brands including Navien, Viessmann, Weil-McLain, Burnham, Baxi, IBC, and more. We read error codes, perform combustion analysis, and provide an honest diagnosis before quoting — so you know exactly what's wrong and what it will cost to fix it.
Boiler repair addresses any fault that causes your hydronic heating system to stop delivering heat, lose pressure, produce error codes, or operate unsafely. Common boiler repair issues include ignition failures, circulator pump failures, zone valve problems, pressure relief valve faults, expansion tank waterlogging — which causes rapid pressure cycling — condensate drain blockages on condensing boilers, and heat exchanger corrosion. Our technicians are experienced with all major residential and commercial boiler brands, and we carry a comprehensive parts inventory covering the most common failure points for each.
Any homeowner with a gas-fired boiler system — whether it heats baseboard radiators, in-floor radiant tubing, or a combi system — may eventually need repair service. Boilers that are not annually serviced are significantly more likely to experience mid-season failure, as carbon and combustion deposits, heat exchanger scaling, and circulator pump wear are all preventable with routine maintenance. Coquitlam homeowners with older boilers that have deferred maintenance are at highest risk for emergency failures during the coldest weeks of the year.
Call for boiler repair if you experience: no heat from any zone despite the boiler appearing to run; system pressure dropping below 1 bar repeatedly and requiring frequent manual repressurization; pressure rising above 2.5 bar during normal operation — a sign of expansion tank fault or pressure relief valve issue; unusual sounds from the circulator pump such as grinding or humming; error codes on the boiler display; excessive condensate production or a blocked condensate drain; or a persistent smell of gas near the appliance — if you smell gas, evacuate immediately, call FortisBC, then call us.
We begin with a full system diagnostic: checking the boiler display error code, measuring gas pressure at the appliance, verifying system pressure and expansion tank pre-charge, running each zone valve through its cycle, and confirming circulator pump operation. This systematic approach identifies the root cause rather than guessing at likely components. We stock parts for Navien, Viessmann, Weil-McLain, IBC, Burnham, and Baxi on our service vehicles. We explain exactly what is wrong, what the repair involves, and the cost before any work begins.
Boiler systems require a technician who understands both the heating side — combustion, flue gas analysis, zone controls — and the plumbing side: hydronic pressure, circulator performance, and piping configuration. Hippo Plumbing & Heating technicians are licensed in both. Our 24/7 emergency response means heat is restored as quickly as possible, not at the next available appointment. We also provide an honest assessment of whether your boiler is worth repairing or whether replacement is the smarter long-term investment, with real numbers for both options.

Boiler problems can occur at any time — our 24/7 emergency heating service ensures you can count on us to promptly address urgent boiler issues, keeping your family warm and safe.
Common causes of boiler no-heat include low system pressure, a failed ignition system, a stuck or failed zone valve, a seized circulator pump, a faulty thermostat, or a blocked condensate drain on condensing boilers. Check your boiler's pressure gauge and error codes first, then call (604) 365-0812 for a diagnosis.
Annual boiler servicing is recommended for all residential and commercial boilers in BC. A yearly tune-up includes cleaning the heat exchanger, checking combustion efficiency, inspecting the flue, testing safety controls, and checking for gas leaks. Annual servicing prevents costly breakdowns and extends boiler life significantly.
A boiler that repeatedly loses pressure typically has a water leak somewhere in the system — in the boiler itself, a radiator, or the piping. A failing pressure relief valve or expansion tank can also cause pressure loss. This requires professional diagnosis to locate and fix the source — call us at (604) 365-0812.
Yes — we repair all major boiler brands including Navien, Viessmann, Weil-McLain, Burnham, Baxi, IBC Technologies, HTP, and more. Our technicians are trained on multiple brands and carry diagnostic tools for all of them.
