Boiler locks out intermittently
Flame signal, gas pressure or combustion air issues. Intermittent faults need a technician who will trend the readings rather than reset and leave.

Boiler Service in Alameda, CA
Commercial boilers heat the offices, schools, hospitals, hotels and multi-building properties across the East Bay, and they supply domestic hot water for restaurants, gyms and institutional kitchens. We service condensing and non-condensing hot water boilers, low-pressure steam boilers, and the pumps, valves, expansion tanks and controls around them.

Diagnostics
Common failures and what they mean
Short cycling and low efficiency
Oversized boilers, poor staging or failed outdoor reset. Correct controls often save more than the repair costs.
Noise in the piping
Air, scale or kettling in the heat exchanger. Kettling indicates scale buildup that shortens boiler life.
Not enough hot water in a commercial kitchen
Undersized recovery, failed mixing valves or scaled heat exchangers. We measure demand and recovery to solve it properly.
