Boiler Repair & Installation

Call (805) 750-1830

If your home heats with a boiler — radiators, radiant floors, or hydronic baseboards — you already know how few plumbers will touch it. Gallegos Plumbing has repaired and replaced boilers across Ventura County since 1996, in the older homes where these systems live, with licensed, background-checked technicians and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Boiler Repair

No heat, pressure that keeps dropping, kettling and banging noises, leaks around the unit, a pilot or ignition that won't hold — most boiler failures trace to a short list of causes, and most are repairable. We diagnose first and fix what's actually broken instead of parts-swapping.

Repair or Replace?

A boiler past 15–20 years that needs repeated repairs is usually costing you twice: on the service calls and on every gas bill, since efficiency falls as the unit ages. When replacement is the honest answer, we'll show you why on the unit itself — and when a repair will do, that's what we'll recommend.

Boiler Installation

We install conventional and combi boilers sized to your home's actual heat load, with code-compliant venting, gas connections, and permits handled end to end. A right-sized modern unit heats more evenly and costs noticeably less to run.

Upfront, Honest Pricing

You approve a flat, upfront quote before any work starts — for the repair or the replacement, your choice, with the trade-offs laid out plainly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a plumber repair a boiler?

Yes — boilers are water-heating systems, squarely licensed-plumber territory. The catch is that many plumbers simply don't work on them. We've serviced hydronic and radiant systems across Ventura County for decades, so your boiler isn't our first.

What is the life expectancy of a residential boiler?

Typically 15–25 years, with well-maintained cast-iron units at the top of that range. Past 15 years, watch the trend: falling efficiency and a repair every season are the signals that replacement money is better spent than repair money.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a boiler?

A single repair is almost always cheaper today; the question is the trajectory. An aging unit that needs repairs year after year while burning extra gas usually costs more over five years than a right-sized modern replacement. We show you the math on your actual unit and let you decide.

Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?

Usually a small leak somewhere in the system or a failing expansion vessel — occasionally a leaking pressure-relief valve. Repeatedly topping it up without finding the cause just feeds the leak; we trace it and fix it at the source.

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Annually. A yearly service catches failing components before the no-heat morning, keeps combustion safe and efficient, and preserves most manufacturers' warranty terms.

How much does boiler repair cost?

It depends on the failed component and the system's age — you approve a flat, upfront quote after diagnosis, before any work starts. If the unit isn't worth repairing, we'll say so plainly rather than sell you a repair that won't last.
