Boiler Pressure Problems in Tacoma, WA

Boiler pressure tells you a lot. Too low and the boiler may lock out or leave the top floor cold. Too high and the relief valve opens to protect the system.

Low pressure usually means water is leaving somewhere. Check under radiators, around valve stems, at the relief valve discharge pipe and on the boiler itself. A sealed system that needs topping up every week has a leak, even if you cannot see it yet.

High pressure is usually a waterlogged expansion tank or a pressure reducing valve letting city water creep in. On a combi boiler, a leaking plate heat exchanger can push domestic water into the heating side.

Reliable Boiler Service connects Tacoma, WA homeowners with technicians who find the cause instead of bleeding pressure off and leaving. Most residential hot water systems run around 12 to 15 psi cold and stay under 30 psi hot.

Note the gauge reading cold and hot, then call Reliable Boiler Service at (866) 456-6311.

Boiler Pressure Problems FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Boiler Pressure Problems

Questions we hear most often about Boiler Pressure Problems in Tacoma, WA.

Talk to a real person
What pressure should my boiler run at in Tacoma, WA?
Most residential hot water boilers sit around 12 to 15 psi when cold and stay under 30 psi when hot. Steam boilers are different and run at a fraction of a pound.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
Repair makes sense for parts like igniters, circulators and zone valves. A cracked section, a leaking heat exchanger or a boiler where parts are no longer made usually points to replacement.
Why are my radiators cold at the top?
Air is trapped in them. Bleed each radiator with a radiator key until water runs steadily, then check the boiler pressure and top it up if needed.
What does a lockout code on my boiler mean?
The boiler tried to light several times and failed, so it shut itself off for safety. Note the code before resetting, since it narrows the cause down to ignition, flame sensing, venting or water pressure.
Can I convert my oil boiler to gas in Tacoma, WA?
If gas service is available on your street, yes. The job includes a new boiler, a properly sized gas line, a vent or chimney liner, and removal or abandonment of the oil tank.
