Our New Bedford technician begins with a comprehensive safety inspection — testing the pressure relief valve, low-water cutoff, high-limit control, gas valve operation, and flue draft. We check boiler pressure, inspect the expansion tank, and look for signs of corrosion, leaks, and scale buildup.
KIC Refrigeration diagnoses boiler problems in New Bedford, MA using combustion analysis data. We measure flue gas CO below 100 PPM air-free, verify oxygen levels between 4 and 8 percent, check that stack temperature is within 100 to 200 degrees of supply water temperature, and calculate AFUE to identify efficiency losses.
We replace the failed component — circulator pump, expansion tank, zone valve, aquastat, gas valve, ignitor, or heat exchanger section — using parts rated for your boiler make, model, and BTU capacity.
Our New Bedford crew pressurizes the boiler system to 15 to 20 PSI, inspects every fitting and valve for leaks, bleeds air from all zone circuits, and runs the boiler through a full cycle — verifying ignition, flame signal, circulator operation, and temperature rise to confirm the repair.
Everything you need to know before scheduling boiler repair for your property.

Warning signs that your boiler needs professional attention include radiators or baseboard that heat unevenly or stay cold in certain zones, banging or kettling noises caused by scale buildup or air in the system, the pressure gauge reading below 12 PSI or above 25 PSI, visible water leaks at fittings, valves, or the boiler itself, a pilot light or electronic ignition that will not stay lit, error codes flashing on the control board, and a noticeable increase in gas bills without a change in thermostat settings. Any of these symptoms warrants a professional inspection.
