Residential Heating & Cooling repairs, installs, replaces, and maintains hydronic and steam boilers for homes and light commercial spaces across Schaumburg and nearby suburbs. We bring friendly, 24/7 urgency when heat is out, and meticulous workmanship when you’re planning an upgrade or tune-up.

Fast diagnostics and lasting fixes for no-heat calls, short cycling, leaks, or uneven heating. Ideal when the system is within its expected service life and the repair is cost-effective.

  • Boiler installation:

New systems for remodels, additions, and first-time hydronic homes. Designed for your radiation, venting path, and comfort goals from the outset.

  • Boiler replacement:

Swap aging, inefficient, or unreliable equipment for a modern, properly sized model with better AFUE and controls. We handle permits and inspections.

  • Boiler maintenance:

Annual tune-ups that keep efficiency high, catch small issues early, and meet manufacturer and industry recommendations.

Boiler Repair in Schaumburg, IL

Boiler problems often start small. An intermittent lockout, a pressure drop, or a single cold radiator can snowball into a full shutdown at the worst possible time. Our certified technicians diagnose issues on all boiler brands and fuel types, from classic cast-iron units to modern condensing systems. We stock common parts and arrive prepared to restore heat fast.

Typical repair calls include ignition failures, circulator or zone valve problems, air in lines, thermostat and control board faults, relief valve discharge, and kettling or banging noises. Each visit includes a system-wide safety and performance check so you know the root cause has been resolved, not just the symptom.

For issues that extend beyond the boiler (like zone valves, pumps, or thermostats), our broader heating service covers full-system troubleshooting so you aren’t paying for guesswork.

After the repair, we explain what we found, what we fixed, and how to prevent the problem from recurring. Clear communication keeps surprises off your invoice and out of your winter.

If this isn’t your first breakdown this season, consider joining the Residential Heating Comfort Club. It’s an easy way to stabilize costs and prevent repeat surprises.

Boiler Installation & Replacement

A correctly sized and installed boiler should deliver quiet, even heat and lower utility costs for years. We start with a right-sized load calculation and a look at your existing radiation so the new boiler and distribution work as a matched system. Then we plan venting, drainage, water quality, and controls before a single cut is made.

Today’s condensing boilers can achieve very high AFUE ratings when paired with proper design and low-temperature operation, while traditional non-condensing models remain a solid option for certain homes and budgets. Efficiency is measured by AFUE, which compares annual heat output to annual fuel use; higher AFUE indicates a more efficient boiler.

Signs it’s time to replace rather than repair include repeated breakdowns, safety concerns, hard-to-source parts, rising fuel bills despite maintenance, and equipment that’s well past its typical service life. We’ll give you side-by-side repair-versus-replace numbers so the math is transparent. For permitting and inspections, we follow Illinois and local guidelines and coordinate with the Village of Schaumburg so your project is code-compliant from day one.

What you can expect with our installs:

  • Upfront, itemized proposals
  • Tidy work areas
  • Respectful crews
  • A clean, pressure-tested system before we leave

Post-install, we commission the boiler to manufacturer specs, set design temperatures and controls, and show you exactly how to operate the system. This commissioning step is where long-term comfort and efficiency are locked in.

Boiler Maintenance & Annual Service

Annual service is the simplest way to prevent surprise breakdowns, stabilize energy costs, and protect your investment. National guidance recommends a preseason check for heating equipment each fall; boilers benefit from professional cleaning, safety checks, and performance tuning before cold weather hits.

Prefer a single appointment that checks the whole heating system, not just the boiler? Book a comprehensive heating service visit and we’ll tune everything from controls to circulation.

A proper boiler tune-up addresses combustion safety and efficiency, not just a quick visual.

During your visit, we:

  • Test safety devices and venting
  • Verify gas pressure
  • Check the expansion tank charge
  • Inspect the heat exchanger and burners
  • Purge air
  • Verify system pressure
  • Inspect pumps, zone valves, and PRV/backflow components
  • Confirm proper radiator/baseboard heat

We will also check your water quality, where applicable, and discuss filtration/treatment options to reduce corrosion and scale in hydronic systems.

After maintenance, you receive clear notes and any recommendations so you can plan ahead rather than react.

Members of our Residential Heating Comfort Club get annual boiler tune-ups, priority scheduling, and reminders before the cold hits.

Why Homeowners Love Boiler Heat

Hydronic systems deliver an even, consistent warmth without the blasts or drafts you may associate with ducts. Radiators, baseboards, and radiant floors spread heat gently through rooms, helping many homes feel comfortable at lower thermostat settings. The result is steady comfort during Chicagoland winters and a quiet system that fades into the background of daily life.

Boiler FAQ

How long does a boiler last?

Service life depends on type, maintenance, and installation quality. Many residential boilers deliver well over a decade of service, and well-maintained systems can last significantly longer. We assess condition, efficiency, and repair history to help you weigh repair versus replacement with real numbers.

What’s the difference between condensing and non-condensing boilers?

Condensing boilers reclaim additional heat from exhaust gases and typically reach higher AFUE ratings, especially when matched with lower-temperature water and good system design. Non-condensing units operate at higher return temperatures and require different venting and drainage considerations.

Do I need a permit for boiler replacement in Schaumburg?

Most replacements require permits and inspections. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities so your install passes the first time.

Is boiler heat healthier?

Because hydronic heat doesn’t rely on air movement through ducts, many homeowners notice fewer drafts and less dust recirculation, contributing to better indoor air quality.

Residential Heating and Cooling deliver what they promise!

Our furnace broke down on Sunday. An hour later, the owner of the company was at our door. After a quick diagnosis, he presented our options and we decided to have the unit replaced (it was 20 years old). The next day, the unit was installed. They were quick, efficient, and accommodating. If you are looking for a HVAC company, look no further! They are a local, family company, and they definitely now what they are doing. We highly recommend them.
