Heating Equipment After a Flood

The Pompton River runs along Wayne's west side and floods often in Wayne, and the Passaic floods where the two rivers meet on the Fairfield, Lincoln Park and Wayne border. When a basement takes on water, the boiler or furnace sitting in it can lose parts that cannot be dried and reused: gas valves, burner controls, ignition modules, circulator motors, blower motors, control boards and the low water cutoff. A boiler or furnace that sat in water should stay off until those parts are replaced, even if it seems to run. Rust that forms later on burners and heat exchangers is another reason a flooded system acts up in the next heating season. See emergency boiler repair.

Boiler and Furnace Repair in Mountain View

Hot water boilers fail at the circulator pump, the zone valves, the expansion tank and the relief valve. Steam boilers fail at the low water cutoff, the water feeder, the pressure control and the radiator vents. Gas furnaces fail at the igniter, the flame sensor, the pressure switch, the inducer motor and the blower. A burner that keeps tripping its safety or a furnace that lights and drops out is reporting one of those parts.

Outdoor Condensers and Heat Pumps

Outdoor units sit on pads at ground level, so high water reaches them too. A condenser or heat pump that was under water needs its fan motor, capacitor, contactor and wiring checked before it runs again. Outside of floods, the common cooling repairs are weak capacitors, burned contactors, seized fan motors, frozen coils and refrigerant leaks.

Heating and AC Questions From Mountain View

What are some reasons why my boiler might not turn on?

No power to the boiler from a tripped breaker or service switch, a thermostat that is not calling for heat, low water tripping the low water cutoff, low pressure on a hot water system, a failed igniter or flame sensor, a closed gas valve, or a control board that has locked out. A boiler that sat in flood water often will not start because its gas valve or controls were damaged.

What are the signs you need a new boiler?

A cracked cast iron section, a leaking heat exchanger, or a boiler body that leaks water no matter which parts are replaced. Severe rust inside the burner area and a boiler that has been under flood water more than once also count. Repairs that keep coming back on the same boiler, rather than one worn part, point the same way. Pumps, valves, tanks and controls on their own are repairs, not a reason to replace it.

What are the signs of a faulty radiator?

A radiator that stays cold or heats only at the top, one that leaks at the valve or the vent, hissing or spitting water from a steam vent, and banging inside the radiator or its pipe. On hot water, cold spots at the top mean trapped air. On steam, a cold radiator usually has a stuck vent or a supply valve that is not fully open.
