Boiler Services in Franklin, MA

Consider repair if your boiler is less than 10-15 years old with isolated issues that can be fixed at reasonable cost. Replacement is often more economical when facing multiple repairs, efficiency problems, or a boiler older than 15 years. G&C Plumbing & Heating offers detailed inspections to help Franklin homeowners make this decision, providing transparent cost analysis of both options and considering factors like energy savings, repair frequency, and system reliability.

The most frequent boiler issues we address in Franklin include pressure fluctuations requiring frequent refilling, circulator pump failures causing inadequate heat distribution, zone valve malfunctions affecting temperature control, thermostat communication problems, air locks in radiators, and kettling (rumbling noises due to scale buildup). Our experienced technicians quickly identify these issues and implement effective solutions to restore your heating system’s performance.
