Boiler Repair Scarborough Homeowners Trust — Radiators, Baseboards & Radiant Floors

Boilers are the minority heating system in Scarborough, which is exactly why they're hard to get serviced well. Most HVAC companies see a few a year. We see them every week — cast-iron boilers feeding original radiators in Birch Cliff and Cliffside century homes, hydronic baseboards in 1960s Agincourt bungalows, and modern wall-hung combi boilers running in-floor heat in Scarborough Village and Guildwood renovations. ASAP Scarborough Plumbing Services provides boiler repair Scarborough wide, annual boiler service, hydronic heating repair, and boiler replacement and combi boiler installation.

One thing to be clear about before anything else: in Ontario, nobody may work on a gas boiler without a TSSA gas technician certificate — G2 for residential, G1 for larger commercial systems. Every gas boiler we touch is handled by a TSSA-certified G2 or G1 technician, and we'll show you the card. If a quote doesn't come with that licence, walk away; the risk is carbon monoxide, not just a cold house. Not sure whether you have a boiler or a hot water tank? A boiler heats the house; a water heater only heats the taps — unless it's a combi, which does both.

Boiler not heating? Call (437) 475-2458 — a no-heat call in winter is dispatched 24/7 as an emergency, usually at your door within the hour.

No Heat in Winter? This Is a 24/7 Emergency Call

At −15°C a house with a dead boiler starts freezing pipes in a matter of hours. We treat a boiler not heating as an emergency, day or night. While you wait, do these — in order:

  • 1

    Check your CO detector first. If it's alarming, or you have headaches, dizziness, or nausea, get everyone out and call 911 from outside. A boiler fault can mean a venting fault. If the detector is silent, carry on.

  • 2

    Check the thermostat, the breaker, and the gas valve. Thermostat on heat and calling; boiler breaker or switch on; gas shut-off handle in line with the pipe. Reset the breaker once if it's tripped — if it trips again, leave it.

  • 3

    Look at the pressure gauge and the display. Below about 12 psi cold, the boiler will lock out — note it, don't top it up yourself. Note any error code on the screen; it tells us what to bring.

  • 4

    Protect the pipes while you wait. Open cabinet doors on exterior walls, let a tap drip, and keep interior doors open. If any pipe has already frozen, see our frozen pipe repair page and mention it when you call.

Boiler & Hydronic Heating Problems We Fix

A boiler is the heart of a closed loop — pump, expansion tank, zone valves, radiators or floor loops, and the controls that tie them together. When one piece fails the whole house feels it. These are the hydronic heating repair calls we get most:

  • •

    Boiler Not Heating / Lockout Codes: Ignition failure, a dirty flame sensor, a failed gas valve, or a low-pressure lockout. Diagnosed and usually repaired on the first visit by a TSSA-certified technician.

  • •

    Some Rooms Cold, Others Fine: A stuck zone valve, a failed circulator pump, air trapped in a radiator or floor loop, or a balancing problem on the manifold. We bleed, balance, and replace what's seized.

  • •

    Pressure Keeps Dropping: A leak somewhere in the loop, a waterlogged expansion tank, or a relief valve that's weeping. Topping up every week is a symptom, not a fix.

  • •

    Banging, Kettling, or Gurgling: Scale on the heat exchanger from Toronto's moderately hard water, or air in the system. Kettling left alone cracks exchangers.

  • •

    Condensate Drain Blocked or Frozen: Condensing boilers shut down when the condensate line clogs or freezes outside. We clear and re-route it — and if the drain it feeds is the problem, our drain cleaning team handles that on the same visit.

Annual Boiler Service in Scarborough — What's Included

Most boiler emergencies in January were avoidable in October. A yearly boiler service is the cheapest line on this page and the one that keeps a 15-year boiler running to 25:

  • Combustion analysis and CO test at the flue — the safety check that matters most.
  • Burner, igniter, and flame sensor cleaned; heat exchanger inspected for scale and cracks.
  • Gas pressure, venting, and condensate trap checked and cleared.
  • System pressure, expansion tank charge, relief valve, and circulator pump tested.
  • Radiators and floor loops bled and balanced; zone valves and thermostats cycled.
  • Written report with readings, so you have a record for the next year and for insurance.

Book it in September or October, before the first cold week fills the schedule.

How a Boiler Repair Call Works

Whether it's a no-heat call in Agincourt at 6 a.m. or a boiler that keeps locking out in a Birch Cliff semi, every boiler repair in Scarborough follows the same five steps:

  1. 1.Safety first. CO reading at the boiler and in the room, gas leak check, venting inspection — before anything is fired.
  2. 2.Diagnose the loop, not just the box. Error codes, pressure, pump, expansion tank, zone valves, and air in the system. Half of "boiler" faults are in the piping around it.
  3. 3.Repair or replace, priced side by side. Igniters, sensors, pumps, zone valves, and expansion tanks are on the truck. If the heat exchanger has gone, you'll get a replacement price next to the repair price.
  4. 4.You approve before we start. Nothing is opened, ordered, or replaced until you've seen the written price and said yes — no surprises on the invoice.
  5. 5.Tested, documented, TSSA-compliant. Combustion re-checked, system purged and balanced, and the work recorded under our G2/G1 technician's licence.

Boiler Replacement in Scarborough: Combi Boiler or Conventional?

When a boiler is past about 20 years, kettling, or has a cracked exchanger, replacement is the smarter spend — and it's the moment to choose the right type. For most Scarborough homes that now means a combi.

Combi Boiler Installation

One wall-hung condensing unit heats the house and makes domestic hot water on demand — no storage tank, no rental fee, and a footprint the size of a kitchen cabinet. Modulating burners run at 90%+ efficiency and pair well with radiant floors and low-temperature radiators. Our most common combi boiler installation Scarborough job is replacing an old boiler and a rental hot water tank with one unit.

Conventional / System Boiler with Indirect Tank

A dedicated heating boiler feeding radiators plus an indirect storage tank for hot water. The right choice for large homes with several bathrooms running at once, or where a combi's flow rate won't keep up. More equipment, more space, but unmatched hot water capacity.

We size the boiler to a heat-loss calculation of your home, not the label on the old one, check gas line capacity and venting, and give you both prices so the decision is yours.

Radiant Floor Heating & Hydronic System Work

A growing share of our boiler work in Scarborough isn't old radiators — it's radiant floor heat in renovated basements, bathrooms, and garages, and the whole-home hydronic systems in newer custom builds. We design, install, and repair the full loop, not just the boiler on the wall.

  • Radiant floor installation: PEX loops, manifolds, mixing valves, and zone controls — tied into a new or existing boiler for a basement, bathroom, or whole floor.
  • Cold floor zones: Air-bound loops, a stuck manifold actuator, or a mixing valve set wrong. We purge, balance, and fix the control, not just bleed and leave.
  • Circulator pumps, zone valves & expansion tanks: The parts that fail most on any hydronic system, replaced with the right spec for your loop.
  • Adding a zone or a radiator: Finishing the basement? We extend the system properly so the new zone doesn't starve the rest of the house.

A boiler in a basement is only as safe as the basement is dry. If yours has flooded before, ask about a sump pump on the same visit.

Boiler Repair or Replacement? A Straight Answer

Boilers last longer than furnaces — a well-serviced cast-iron unit can run 25–30 years. So we repair first, and tell you plainly when it stops making sense.

Repair usually makes sense when…

  • ✓The boiler is under about 15–20 years old
  • ✓The fault is a component — igniter, sensor, pump, zone valve, expansion tank
  • ✓The heat exchanger is sound and the combustion test passes
  • ✓Parts are still available for the model

Replacement is the smarter move when…

  • ✓The heat exchanger is cracked or leaking — there's no repair
  • ✓It's 20–25+ years old and parts are discontinued
  • ✓Gas bills are climbing — an old 70% boiler versus a 95% condensing combi
  • ✓You're also paying rent on a separate hot water tank a combi could replace

★★★★★

Noah B.

"Two upstairs rooms in our Agincourt bungalow never got warm. Previous guy just bled the rads. ASAP found a seized zone valve and air in the loop, fixed both. Whole house even now."

★★★★★

2026-03-18

Tom K.

"Finished our Guildwood basement with in-floor heat. They ran the PEX loops, manifold, and tied it into the existing boiler with a mixing valve. Floors are warm, upstairs rads unaffected. Clean work."

★★★★★

2026-04-21

Leo R.

"Boiler pressure kept dropping every few days in Cliffside. ASAP found a waterlogged expansion tank, not a leak — a fraction of what I feared. Explained the gauge so I know what to watch."

★★★★★

2026-06-11

Sofia M.

"Our combi in Malvern kept shutting down with an error code. Turned out to be a blocked condensate drain. Cleared, re-routed so it won't freeze, and done in an hour."

★★★★★

2026-09-23

Anthony D.

"Looked up boiler service near me before winter for our Scarborough Village home. Combustion test, cleaned the burner, bled the rads, left a written report. First year with no January surprise."

★★★★★

2026-10-14

Amir H.

"Old boiler in L'Amoreaux was kettling badly. They told me honestly the exchanger was scaled past saving and gave a repair price next to a combi price. Went with the combi. No pressure, no regrets."
