This winter has been a rough one, with record low temperatures and several cold snaps hitting all across the country. This means that one of the last things you want to deal with is boiler repair.
Hot water is not something you want to be without during this winter, which means you should have your boiler checked on by professional heating contractors such as Bruni & Campisi. If you find that your hot water has stopped running, then there are several things that could be wrong. The following are a few reasons why you may not have hot water.
Issues with the thermostat
If you find that you have some hot water but aren’t receiving enough, there’s a good chance you just need might need to make boiler repairs yourself. Adjust the temperature on the thermostat for your water heater. If the temperature is around 130 degrees and you are still not getting enough hot water, then the thermostat may need to be repaired or replaced.
The pilot light is off
The pilot light for your water heater may have turned off. This light can be difficult to find, and must be relit if it is indeed off. While you can try relighting it yourself by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer, it’s a better idea to have a contractor check for you.
There’s a leak in your gas line
If your boiler operates using gas, then it may be a problem with your gas line. You should be able to tell by inspecting the area around your boiler for a distinct smell (it usually smells like rotten eggs if there is a leak). A potential gas leak can be incredibly dangerous, so you should contact a professional immediately for boiler repairs.
There’s a buildup of sediment
The more you use your water heater, the more water contaminants can build up over time. These can harden at the bottom of the water heater, which in turn reduces the ability for hot water to be produced properly. There are a few ways to prevent this. This includes using a water softening agent, having the water heater cleaned on a regular basis and lowering your water heater to 130 degrees.

Jason, the technician, could not have been more kind, knowledgable, punctual and made the process seemless! Any technical question I asked, he answered. He didn’t have to call anybody. He just had the confidence that I would be looking for in somebody taking care of my heat. I have the most faith in these people, and I will be recommending them from here on out!

This was my first time using the company, and I had a great experience with Glen. He came out to clear a badly clogged kitchen sink and was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He took the time to make sure everything was completely cleared and working properly, and he was extremely clean and careful throughout the process. What I especially appreciated was that Glen went above and beyond the actual repair — he even took the time to clean out the debris underneath my sink before he left, which I certainly wasn’t expecting! He was friendly, respectful of my home, and clearly takes pride in his work. I would absolutely request Glen again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a plumber.

Double header! First, John gave my home a top-notch thorough plumbing inspection and found some problems plumbers never unearthed over the last 20 years that were the root of other problems. Great job. Then Daniel B. and D'Vante cleaned the ducts and were a great team, making sure they got to ever nook and cranny. High five!

Second visit from Bruni & Campisi after the water heater broke down. Jason Rees was phenomenal: he explained very well what happened with the heater, he drained it completely so it wouldn’t leaked anymore (which kept happening after water was shut off), contacted the manufacturer since the heater was under warranty, and soon we should be getting the new one installed. Thanks a lot Jason!

They replaced out hot water heater, which was behind some pipes and the AC system. A big job, and it took them all day, but the work was perfect and even the small touches were professionally done.
