Boilers don't skip maintenance. They defer it, with interest.
Every heating season deposits a little scale on the heat exchanger, a little drift in the combustion mix, a little wear on the igniter. Skip enough years and the interest comes due: efficiency quietly drops 5-10%, then a $40 sensor strands you on the coldest night of February. The annual tune-up is how you keep the machine on your side.
What a real tune-up includes
- Combustion analysis: measured, printed, tuned to spec, not eyeballed
- Heat exchanger & burner cleaning: the efficiency you paid for, restored
- Safety checks: gas connections, venting, CO, relief valve
- Circulator, zone valves & expansion tank: the parts that fail in January, checked in September
- Condensate treatment: the quiet killer of condensing boilers, neutralized

How a rescue works
From your call to fixed, in four moves.
Signal 01, dispatch
You call. A person answers.
No phone tree, no callback queue. Describe the problem and we dispatch the nearest tech, same-day for most calls, immediately for emergencies.
Signal 02, diagnose
Upfront price before we open a wall.
The tech diagnoses on site, walks you through options, and quotes flat pricing before any work begins. You approve, or you don't. No surprises on the invoice.
Signal 03, fix
Fixed right, left clean.
Stocked vans mean most repairs finish in one visit. We protect floors, wear boot covers, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.
Signal 04, guarantee
Backed in writing.
Workmanship is guaranteed and every tech is licensed and insured in Rhode Island. If something isn't right, we come back. That's the whole policy.
No phone tag
Tell us what's going on.
Four fields, no account, no spam, a dispatcher reads it and calls you back. Emergency? Skip the form: (401) 601-5040 is answered 24/7.

Good questions
Asked before every boiler maintenance job.
What does a boiler tune-up cost?
A flat rate, quoted up front, minus $20 when you request it online. Maintenance-plan members get the annual service as part of the plan, along with priority scheduling in peak season and 15% off repairs.
When's the best time for boiler maintenance?
Late summer through fall, before the season leans on the system. A September appointment gets fixed on your schedule; a January failure gets fixed on the weather's.
Does skipping maintenance really void warranties?
Manufacturers like Navien and Viessmann require documented annual service to honor long-term warranties. We keep the service records on file, so a warranty claim is paperwork we already have.
What's included in the maintenance plan?
One full annual service and cleaning of the heating system: burner, electrode and combustion chamber cleaned, vent and flue checked, safety and operating controls inspected, efficiency tuned and tested, and on oil systems the filter and nozzle replaced. Plans start at $30 a month, include priority scheduling in peak heating season and 15% off labor and materials on repairs. One appliance per plan, with a $99 pre-enrollment inspection.
