Repairing or Replacing a Steam Boiler
Many steam problems, like banging pipes or cold radiators, come from venting, water level or piping rather than the boiler itself. We check the whole system first and tell you what is actually wrong. When a steam boiler is worn out, we replace it and set the new one up to match your home’s piping.

Why Choose J&K For Your Steam Boiler Repair Services

Our technicians understand how the whole system works together, which is why other HVAC contractors refer their steam calls to J&K. J&K is licensed (MI #7109194) and family-owned in Monroe since 1986.

Frequently Asked Questions

In a steam system, a cold radiator often has a stuck or failed air vent, or the pipe feeding it has sagged and trapped water. We check the vents, pipe pitch and pressure to find the cause.
