Authorized Navien Boiler Service

Diagnostics, maintenance, flushing, warranty assistance, and hydronic integration on NHB, NFB, and NCB systems — including older Navien generations still running across the Bay Area.

Boiler & Hydronic System Expertise

Boiler Diagnostics & Repair

We troubleshoot complete hydronic systems — not just the boiler itself. Our process includes combustion analysis, flow and pressure diagnostics, circulator evaluation, expansion tank checks, temperature differential testing, and control verification to identify the real cause of system problems.

Diagnostics use calibrated gas analyzers, manometers, and clamp meters — combustion CO/O₂, manifold and inlet pressure, flame-signal microamps, ΔT across supply and return, and full fault-code interpretation against manufacturer service literature. Heat-exchanger condition, ignition control boards, and venting integrity are evaluated before any parts are quoted.

Boiler Replacement

We design and install single-boiler and multi-boiler cascade replacements for residential and light commercial applications. Our team helps customers modernize outdated mechanical systems with properly sized equipment, advanced controls, zoning upgrades, and efficient hydronic layouts.

Sizing is driven by Manual J and measured heat-loss data — not appliance swap-out — with near-boiler piping rebuilt for primary-secondary or low-loss header configurations. Stainless or PVC venting, condensate neutralization, outdoor-reset controls, and zoning hardware are specified to match the building and commissioned with a written start-up report.

Legacy System Service

Our engineers work with both modern high-efficiency condensing boilers and older hydronic heating systems, including cast-iron and atmospheric equipment still operating throughout the Bay Area. We diagnose, repair, modernize, and integrate systems that many contractors refuse to service.

Service covers atmospheric draft verification, spillage and CO testing, gas-valve and pilot-assembly rebuilds, refractory inspection, and circulator and expansion-tank replacement on cast-iron and steel-tube equipment. Legacy controls are repaired in place or replaced with modern relays and aquastats so existing systems run safely for another decade.

Upgrades & Maintenance

Our team brings extensive European hydronic experience to ongoing service work — circulator upgrades, control tune-ups, mixing-assembly retrofits, and annual maintenance that keeps the entire loop balanced. This background helps us approach upgrades and maintenance with a deeper engineering perspective.

Annual service includes combustion analysis, flow and ΔT verification, ECM circulator and expansion-tank checks, glycol and water-chemistry testing, and outdoor-reset curve tuning. Targeted upgrades — high-efficiency pumps, modern zone controls, mixing assemblies, and air/dirt separators — measurably extend equipment life and protect rated efficiency.

Why it matters

Why this is worth doing right.

Repair when sensible

An honest evaluation of repair versus replacement — not a default sales pitch for new equipment.

Quiet, even comfort

Hydronic heat is silent, even, and dust-free when the entire loop is balanced and the controls are tuned.

Longevity

Correct piping, water quality, and combustion setup separate a 7-year boiler from a 20-year boiler.

Safety

Combustion, venting, and gas work are life-safety systems. We test, document, and commission every install.
