NATE-Certified Technicians, Trained to a Higher Standard

When you let a technician into your home, three things matter: are they qualified, will they be straight with you about what your system actually needs, and will the price be clear before the work starts? Ours are, and it is.

Every H.J. Faust, Inc. technician is fully licensed, insured, factory-trained, and NATE-certified. NATE (North American Technician Excellence) is the nationally recognized credentialing standard for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration professionals. It means the person diagnosing your boiler has been tested against industry benchmarks, not just trained in-house.

Beyond NATE, our mechanics train through our structured Internal Apprenticeship & Development Program, a structured, multi-year curriculum that pairs classroom instruction with hands-on field work under direct Senior Mechanic supervision. Every field and office employee also completes a minimum of four additional training sessions per year to stay current on new equipment and processes. That depth of ongoing training is what keeps our work consistent across every call.

We’ve earned an Excellent rating from hundreds of Google reviews, and we’ve held BBB accreditation since 1997. Customers consistently point to our promptness, clear communication, and thorough work. Every service call begins with a full inspection before we recommend anything, and we don’t recommend more than your system actually requires. You’ll have a detailed, upfront estimate in hand before any work begins.

Common Boiler Problems We Repair in Burlington

Boilers tend to fail in predictable ways.

Here’s what we see regularly and how our technicians address each issue:

• No heat or hot water - We check for ignition failure, fuel supply interruption, or a tripped safety switch and restore operation safely.
• Boiler makes unusual noises - Kettling, banging, gurgling, and whistling each point to different causes. Kettling typically signals limescale or mineral buildup on the heat exchanger, restricting water flow; banging can indicate delayed ignition; gurgling often points to trapped air or low water pressure. We identify the source and correct it.
• Leaking or dripping - Boiler leaks commonly originate from a broken pressure relief valve, corroded pipes, or a failed pump seal. We locate the source and make the repair before water damage compounds the problem.
• Pilot light or ignition problems - A pilot that won’t stay lit may indicate a faulty thermocouple, a draft problem, or gas supply interruption. We test and replace the component causing the fault.
• Loss of pressure - Pressure drops can result from a system leak, a broken pressure relief valve, or a failing expansion vessel. We diagnose the cause and restore the system to proper operating pressure.
• Thermostat issues - Sometimes the boiler isn’t the problem. A miscalibrated or failing thermostat can prevent the system from firing correctly. We test the thermostat and the boiler controls together.
• Radiators not heating evenly - Uneven heat across a hydronic heating system is often caused by trapped air, a failing circulator pump, or an unbalanced system. We bleed radiators, inspect the circulation pump, and balance the system to support more even heat distribution.

Repair or Replace: Getting the Honest Answer

Not every boiler problem is worth repairing. When a system is over 15 years old and has required repeated, costly service calls, continuing to repair it can be false economy, especially when the underlying components are worn and the system’s remaining lifespan is uncertain. Boilers can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years depending on maintenance history, fuel type, and installation quality, so age alone doesn’t determine the answer.

What does determine the answer is a thorough inspection. We assess the full condition of your system before making any recommendation. If we see rising energy bills despite unchanged usage, chronic pressure problems, or a pattern of component failures, we’ll tell you plainly that a new boiler installation may be the better investment. If repair makes sense, we’ll say that instead. You’ll get information to help you make the right call for your home and your budget.

Preventing Boiler Breakdowns with Annual Maintenance

Most boiler failures don’t happen without warning. They build gradually through worn components, mineral deposits, and pressure irregularities that go unnoticed until something stops working. Scheduling a fall heating check-up before the season starts is an effective way to catch those issues early and help reduce the chance of an emergency call in January.

Our Annual Maintenance Agreement formalizes that protection with a 30-point inspection, priority scheduling, no overtime charges for after-hours calls, and a 10% discount on parts and labor when repairs are needed. It’s designed to help keep Burlington homeowners ahead of breakdowns, not reacting to them. Learn more about what’s included in our boiler maintenance program.
