My Boiler Won’t Turn On. What Should I Do?

Before you reach out for professional assistance, we encourage you to perform a few basic checks. Simple setting errors or power interruptions can stop your boiler from starting, and you can potentially resolve these issues yourself in just a few minutes.

Follow these troubleshooting steps to rule out common problems:

• Check the thermostat. Make sure your thermostat is set to the “heat” mode and that the target temperature is above the current room temperature. If the digital display is blank, replace the batteries. 
• Verify power. Take a look at your main electrical panel and reset the circuit breaker controlling your boiler if it has tripped. If it trips again soon after starting your boiler, you likely need professional repairs.
• Confirm fuel supply. For oil boilers, check the tank gauge to confirm you have sufficient fuel. For natural gas or propane systems, verify that the gas supply valve is in the open position.
• Press the reset button once. If the burner failed to ignite, press the red reset button on the unit a single time. Do not press this button repeatedly, as this pumps excess fuel into the combustion chamber and creates a fire hazard. 

If your boiler still won’t turn on after completing these steps, contact our team at All American and request same-day repairs. We are confident we can diagnose and resolve the underlying problem.

Signs Your Boiler Needs Repairs

Boilers rarely fail without warning. Watching out for known red flags and changes in performance can help you catch and address minor problems before they escalate into major issues or safety hazards. 

Don’t wait to schedule a boiler inspection if you notice any of the following signs of trouble:

• Strange noises. Thumping, banging, or whistling sounds usually point to mechanical issues. Mineral deposits often accumulate inside the tank, which traps water and causes it to boil excessively. Loose parts or pump failure can also create disruptive vibrations.
• Unusual odors. A persistent metallic or plastic smell suggests electrical components are burning or melting. A rotten egg smell indicates a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, shut off your boiler, evacuate your home and business, and call 9-1-1. We can identify and resolve the issue causing the gas leak once it is safe to go back inside.
• Yellow pilot light. A healthy gas flame burns blue. A yellow or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion, which often generates carbon monoxide. If you spot a yellow or orange flame, exercise extreme caution by turning off your boiler. Then, evacuate your home or business, call 9-1-1, and reach out to our team once you are told it is safe to go back inside. 
• Water leaks. Puddles around the base of your unit signal internal corrosion or a loose connection. Even small drips cause significant water damage over time and often indicate that a seal or valve requires replacement.
• Insufficient heat or cold spots. If your radiators stay cold while the boiler runs, air might be trapped in the system, or the circulation pump might have failed. 
• Unexpected energy bill spikes. A boiler that runs efficiently should consume a consistent amount of fuel. A sudden increase in your monthly heating costs suggests that your system is working harder than necessary to reach the set temperature, likely due to dirty components or worn parts.
