Our NATE-certified technicians bring extensive expertise to every boiler repair call in Jenkintown, whether you’re dealing with a complete system breakdown or experiencing reduced heating efficiency. We understand that boiler systems are complex pieces of equipment that require specialized knowledge, from traditional cast iron boilers found in many historic Jenkintown homes to modern high-efficiency condensing boilers that provide both space heating and domestic hot water.
When boiler emergencies strike, our team responds with comprehensive diagnostic capabilities to identify issues ranging from faulty heat exchangers and damaged circulation pumps to problematic expansion tanks and malfunctioning zone valves. We’re experienced with all major boiler brands and fuel types, including natural gas boilers, oil-fired systems, and electric units that serve different neighborhoods throughout Jenkintown based on available utility connections and homeowner preferences.
Our boiler repair services extend beyond emergency fixes to include preventive maintenance that can prevent costly breakdowns during peak heating season. We perform thorough system inspections checking water pressure levels, examining flue pipes for proper ventilation, testing safety controls and pressure relief valves, and ensuring optimal combustion efficiency through proper burner adjustments and cleaning.
We also specialize in addressing common boiler problems that plague Montgomery County homes, including issues with radiator heating distribution, baseboard hot water circulation, and radiant floor heating systems that many homeowners have installed for enhanced comfort. Our technicians are skilled at diagnosing and repairing problems with heating zones, thermostats, and aquastats that control water temperature and system cycling.
For homes requiring boiler replacement, we provide expert consultation on modern high-efficiency units that can dramatically reduce heating costs while improving comfort. We’re knowledgeable about AFUE efficiency ratings, proper BTU sizing for your specific home layout, and integration with existing ductwork or radiator systems. Our installation expertise includes combination boilers that provide both space heating and on-demand hot water, eliminating the need for separate water heating equipment.
Central Plumbing also addresses indoor air quality concerns that often accompany heating system problems. We install and service humidification systems that work with boiler heating to maintain optimal moisture levels during dry winter months, preventing issues with static electricity, dry skin, and respiratory discomfort that are common when heated indoor air becomes too dry.

Linda from the Jenkintown Manor neighborhood contacted us during a late December cold snap when her 15-year-old gas boiler suddenly stopped producing heat just as temperatures dropped below freezing. Previous service calls to other local companies had resulted in temporary fixes that failed within weeks, leaving her frustrated and worried about reliability during winter’s worst weather.
Our NATE-certified technician arrived within 45 minutes and quickly diagnosed a failed circulation pump that was preventing hot water from reaching her radiators throughout the house. Within two hours, we had installed a new high-efficiency pump and tested the entire system to ensure proper operation. “I couldn’t believe how fast they got here and how quickly they solved a problem that had been getting worse for weeks,” Linda shared. “Finally, a company that actually fixes things right the first time instead of just putting band-aids on bigger problems.”
James, who owns a historic home near Jenkintown Elementary School, called us on a Sunday morning when his oil-fired boiler began making concerning noises and producing inconsistent heat. Other heating companies he’d contacted either didn’t answer their phones or quoted him several days before they could send a technician.
Our emergency response team diagnosed and repaired a malfunctioning burner assembly, cleaned the heat exchanger, and performed a complete system tune-up that restored efficient, quiet operation. “Having Central Plumbing available on weekends saved our family from a miserable few days without proper heat,” James explained. “Their technician was incredibly knowledgeable and took time to explain everything they were doing.”
