Steam Boiler Repair in Chicago, IL

Steam heat runs on different rules from hot water. A residential steam boiler only needs a fraction of a pound of pressure to push steam through a house, so the pressuretrol should be set low. Cranked up high, it brings short cycling and banging rather than more heat.

The sight glass on the side shows the water line, which should sit around the middle when the boiler is cold. Water that bounces wildly while the boiler runs usually means oil or dirt on the surface, and the boiler needs skimming.

Banging pipes are mostly water hammer from a pipe that lost its pitch or a radiator tilted the wrong way. Cold radiators on a one-pipe system often trace back to a clogged air vent.

Reliable Boiler Service connects Chicago, IL property owners with technicians who know steam: main vents, radiator vents, pressuretrols, low-water cutoffs, skimming and near-boiler piping.

Steam Boiler Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Steam Boiler Repair

Questions we hear most often about Steam Boiler Repair in Chicago, IL.

Talk to a real person
Why does my steam heat bang and hammer?
Banging usually comes from condensate trapped in a pipe that lost its pitch or a radiator tilted the wrong way. A pressuretrol set too high makes it worse.
What does a lockout code on my boiler mean?
The boiler tried to light several times and failed, so it shut itself off for safety. Note the code before resetting, since it narrows the cause down to ignition, flame sensing, venting or water pressure.
Can I convert my oil boiler to gas in Chicago, IL?
If gas service is available on your street, yes. The job includes a new boiler, a properly sized gas line, a vent or chimney liner, and removal or abandonment of the oil tank.
Do you handle steam boilers in older buildings?
Yes. Reliable Boiler Service connects owners with technicians who work on one-pipe and two-pipe steam, including air vents, pressuretrols, sight glasses and low-water cutoffs.
What should I do if my boiler is leaking?
Turn the boiler off, close the fill valve if water keeps spreading, and call (866) 456-6311. Note where the water is coming from, since that decides between a repair and a replacement.
