What you Get with VHP boiler service:
Your Safety is our Top Priority
Did you know that when water turns into steam it expands to 1700 times its volume? Besides the inherent risk of fire and exhaust present in other gas heating appliances, boilers also have the additional factor of heated water, which has a risk of turning into steam. These days, situations that could cause damage to your property or even become deadly are rare because of the many safety devices that are required on boilers. However, these systems can fail over time. If one brake fails in your car, you will be okay for a while. But if the other brakes fail, you will be in immediate danger. Boilers are similar to this: if one safety fails, you are at a higher risk if other safeties fail. That is why it is important have these devices checked out periodically. And at Vincent’s we train our technicians to check out your boiler safety system on every job.
Boiler Specialists
Boilers are a little different from furnaces: there are additional parts and skills required to be able to work on them. Some HVAC companies may not work on boilers frequently if at all. At Vincent’s, we specialize in residential boiler service. We have trained boiler professionals to take care of your heating needs. And we stock each of our trucks with a large inventory of boiler components so that, in most cases, we can get most issues taken care of the same day.
High Efficiency Combi Boilers
Boilers have been around for a long time. In fact, they have been around for much longer than forced air furnaces. However, that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been advances in technology that could potentially offer more comfort, safety and savings to you on your gas bills. High efficiency boilers can match the efficiency of many high efficiency furnaces. And many of these high efficiency units come with built-in tankless water heaters as well. These are known as Combi Boilers. If you are interested in saving money on your gas heating as well as water heating bill, talk to us to find out if a Combi Boiler might be right for you.
What to Look for in a Boiler Contractor
Your heating system is a major part of your home and one of the most expensive components to replace. That’s why it’s vital that you hire the right HVAC contractor to manage your boiler’s repair or replacement. Here in Port Huron, there are plenty of companies that offer boiler services. How do you choose the one that’s right for you? Here are six things to keep an eye out for:
- Current Insurance and Licensing: Make sure the HVAC company you hire is authorized to provide heating service in Michigan. Before signing anything, ask to see copies of their current certifications and licenses. You’ll also want to ask about the kind of bonding and insurance they carry. These things will protect you from any damage caused by the contractor or any accidents their employees suffer while working in your home.
- Referrals and Reviews: Before selecting an HVAC contractor in Port Huron, check out their online reputation. In addition to Google, check other platforms such as Facebook and Yelp. Taken together, these things should provide a decent overview of what to expect while working with this company.
- Expertise and Experience: You want a company with ample boiler experience. This will allow them to quickly pinpoint the issue and give advice you can only get from a true professional. Ask how the company ensures its technicians stay up-to-date on industry changes. Also confirm how much experience their boiler installation experts are required to have.
- Warranties and Guarantees: What happens if you’re unhappy with the work performed? Will the contractor back your newly-installed or replaced boiler with any kind of warranty? Not doing these things is a common cost-cutting measure in other companies. Rest assured, when you buy from VHP, that your satisfaction is guaranteed.
- Special Offers and Rebates: Buying a new boiler isn’t cheap, but many manufacturers offer discounts that your HVAC contractor can pass on to you. Before scheduling a quote for boiler replacement, you can check the national DSIRE database to find tax credits and other local programs in your area that may help you save. A good HVAC company, like ours, will help you file any required paperwork.

Boiler FAQs
How Often Does My Boiler Need Service?
We recommend having your boiler serviced on a yearly basis. This will ensure it operates at maximum efficiency through the cold times and into milder weather. By getting it regularly serviced, you can help yourself to avoid future boiler repairs. You can learn more about the benefits of HVAC maintenance in Port Huron and Fort Gratiot by reaching out to us by phone or through our website.
Can My Boiler Heat My Water, Too?
Though not possible in the past, newer “combi” boilers allow you to use the water in your boiler for bathing and cooking as well. This eliminates the need for a separate water heater, saving you space and boosting home efficiency.
What Do I Do if My Boiler Starts Leaking?
If your boiler is leaking, don’t panic. You can limit the damage by taking the following steps:
- Turn off the boiler’s power and shut the main water valve to prevent further damage
- Mop or lay down towels to soak up the water
- Try to find the source of the leak. Typically, it comes from the boiler tank, discharge tube, or drain valve
- Call VHP to schedule a boiler technician for repair
Will a New Boiler be Quieter?
This depends on numerous factors. Very old boilers are typically very loud. While those made in the last 15 to 20 years, tend to be quieter than even the newest ones. This is because internal components in new systems, used to enhance efficiency, produce low levels of noise during use. Even if this additional sound is annoying, your new system’s lower operation cost will more than make up for it.
Can I Use My Boiler to Cool my Home as Well?
While radiators can be used to cool homes, boilers cannot provide the cold water necessary to do so. Using a water chiller to produce a cooling effect can lead to humidity, corrosion, and condensation issues. For people with boilers looking for a way to beat Port Huron’s summer heat, ductless AC is often the best option.
