Burlington's unique heating challenges

About 141 nights a year below freezing, when aging heating systems give out

The oldest blocks in town run heating systems decades older than the newer builds toward Winooski

First frost typically lands around October 18

Seasonal timing

The median first frost arrives around October 18, the same date registered in Colchester, and that's usually when a steam vent that whistled through last winter starts leaving a radiator half-heated again.

Common questions

How much does heating repair cost?

It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.

Will I talk to a real person?

Yes, you will.

Do I need to fill out a form?

No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.

Can I get help at night or on a weekend?

We have heating pros ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.

Should I wait to call?

You already know that heating problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Heating pros see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

People also ask

Why does one radiator in an older Burlington duplex stay cold while the rest heat fine?

On a single-pipe steam system that's usually an air vent that has stopped releasing air, so steam never fills that section. A technician checks the vent and the pitch of the pipe feeding it before anything larger gets considered.

Does banging in the pipes mean the boiler is failing?

Not by itself. Water sitting in a run that has lost its slope will knock as steam pushes through, and on the pre-war blocks near the hill that settling is common. It still deserves a look, since the noise itself can loosen fittings over time.

Is steam heat harder to service than the hydronic baseboard used in Shelburne?

It's a different skill set rather than a harder one. Steam needs someone comfortable with vents, pitch and boiler water level, and not every technician who services a 2-pipe hydronic loop works on it regularly.

When in the season do steam problems usually surface here?

Around the October 18 first frost, when the boiler starts making steam daily for the first time in months and any vent that failed over the summer shows up immediately.
