Boiler service. Done with care.

Boiler systems require a different approach than forced-air heating. Our team takes the time to understand your existing system, diagnose the problem properly, and recommend a solution based on your home’s heating needs, not a one-size-fits-all answer.

Thorough assessment of your boiler and heating system
Clear explanation of the problem and your options
Repair recommendations based on the condition of your system
Replacement options when repairing no longer makes sense
Professional workmanship and respect for your home

Whether your boiler needs attention today or you’re considering a new system, we’ll help you make an informed decision about what’s right for your home. Boiler service is part of our heating services, alongside furnace repair, heat pumps and water heaters, for homes in London and surrounding communities.

What to expect

Whether your boiler needs a repair, routine maintenance, or it’s time to consider replacement, we’ll take the time to understand your system, explain what we find, and recommend the right next step for your home.

Step one

Schedule Service

Call, text, book online, or fill out the form and tell us what’s happening with your boiler. We’ll ask a few questions about your system and any issues you’re experiencing, then arrange a service visit at a time that works for you.

Step two

Inspect system

A licensed technician will assess your boiler and heating system, checking its condition, operation, and any symptoms you’ve noticed. If there’s a problem, we’ll diagnose what’s causing it rather than simply treating the symptom.

Step three

Explain options

Once we understand your system, we’ll explain what we found and walk you through the appropriate options. That could mean maintenance, a recommended repair, or discussing replacement if your existing boiler is no longer the best long-term choice.

Step four

Service/repair/ replace

With your approval, we’ll complete the recommended work and test the system to make sure it’s operating properly. If replacement is the right choice, we’ll help you select an appropriately sized system and complete the installation.

We install trusted boiler systems

We install high-efficiency boilers from Navien, Rinnai and NTI for homes with radiators, baseboard heaters or in-floor hydronic heating. From replacing an aging boiler to matching a new one to your existing system, we’ll help you choose properly sized equipment that fits your comfort needs, home and budget.

Get more from your boiler

Boiler systems can provide reliable, comfortable heat for years, but getting the most from yours starts with understanding how it works and when it may need attention. Whether you’re maintaining an existing system or considering replacement, a few key factors can help you make the right decision for your home.

How boiler heating works

Boilers heat water and circulate it through your home to provide consistent, comfortable warmth through radiators, baseboards, or in-floor hydronic heating. Because the system heats your home without relying on forced air, proper operation depends on both the boiler itself and the components that distribute heat throughout your home.

Repair or replace your boiler?

Not every boiler problem means you need a new system. Depending on the age and condition of your boiler, the cause of the problem, repair costs, and overall efficiency, a repair may be the most practical choice. If replacement makes more sense, Donaldson will explain why and help you compare your options.

Choosing the right boiler

Boilers aren’t one-size-fits-all. The right system depends on your home’s heating requirements, existing hydronic system, layout, and other factors. Donaldson will assess your home and current equipment before recommending a properly sized boiler designed to provide reliable, efficient heat.

Boiler FAQs

Have more questions? We’ve got the answers.

Common signs include inconsistent heating, unusual banging or knocking noises, leaks around the system, frequent cycling, or a boiler that isn’t producing enough heat. If you notice a change in how your boiler is operating, Donaldson can inspect the system, identify the problem and recommend the right next step, with upfront pricing before any work begins. Book a boiler inspection.

It depends on the age and overall condition of your boiler, the cost and frequency of repairs, and how well the system is performing. A repair may be the most practical option for a system that is otherwise in good condition. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain your options and help you decide. Many homeowners also ask about heat pumps.

Once a year. Annual professional maintenance keeps your boiler running reliably and catches potential concerns before they become larger problems. Your technician can also advise you on maintenance requirements specific to your equipment. To have the visit booked for you every year, see our Membership Plans.
