A cold house isn't something you can put off. Whether your boiler stopped heating completely, your radiators are cold while the water still runs, or you're hearing strange banging from the unit, our team gets to the bottom of it fast.
We're a licensed, local plumbing company that handles boiler repairs every day, on every type of system, and we don't disappear after the call — we stay until the heat is actually back on.
If you're dealing with any of the following, give us a call. These are the issues we see most often, and most of them can be resolved the same day:
No heat at all, even though the boiler seems to be running. Heat working but no hot water from the taps. Hot water working but the radiators stay cold. A pilot light that won't stay lit or keeps going out. Boiler pressure that keeps dropping or won't hold. Strange noises — banging, gurgling, or clicking. Leaks around the boiler or nearby pipes. Error codes or flashing lights on the display. A boiler that shuts off on its own shortly after starting.
You don't need to diagnose it yourself before calling. Tell us what you're noticing, and we'll take it from there.
We start with a real inspection, not a guess. That means checking the ignition system, the pressure, the circulation, and the safety controls before we tell you anything. Once we know what's actually wrong, we explain it in plain language and give you one upfront price before any work begins. No surprise add-ons once we're already inside the unit.
Most repairs are completed in a single visit. If parts need to be ordered for an older or less common system, we'll tell you that upfront too, along with a realistic timeline.
Not every boiler problem means you need a new system. Plenty of older boilers are still worth repairing if the core components are in good shape. As a general guide: if your boiler is under 10 years old, repair almost always makes sense. If it's older and the repair cost is creeping close to what a new, more efficient system would cost, we'll walk you through both options honestly so you can make the call — not us pushing a sale.
If replacement turns out to be the right call, see our boiler installation page for system types and real pricing.
Heat doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. If your boiler goes out at night or on a weekend, call us. We prioritize no-heat emergencies and aim to get a technician to you as quickly as possible, especially during cold weather when waiting isn't an option.

Boiler repair costs vary depending on the specific problem, the parts required, and the complexity of the repair. Minor repairs such as thermostat replacements or ignition fixes may cost between $150 and $350. Mid-range repairs involving pumps, valves, or zone controllers typically run $350 to $750. More extensive repairs or component replacements can range higher. At Astoria Plumbing & Heating Inc., we always provide a full, transparent estimate before any work begins — so you know exactly what you're paying and why. We never add surprise charges after the job is done.
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer depends on a few key factors — the age of your system, the cost of the repair relative to replacement, and the overall condition of the unit. As a general rule, if your boiler is under 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of a new system, repair is almost always the smarter choice. If your boiler is older, frequently breaking down, or significantly less energy efficient than modern systems, replacement may save you more money in the long run through lower energy bills and fewer repair calls. Our technicians will give you an unbiased, honest assessment — we'll never push you toward a replacement you don't need, and we'll never talk you into a repair that's just delaying the inevitable.
