Boiler Repair in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby and Greater Vancouver

A boiler that stops heating, starts leaking, or begins making unusual noises is not something to leave alone for long, especially once the weather turns cold. Gold Star Plumbing and Heating provides boiler repair across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, and the rest of Metro Vancouver, including the North Shore. Our licensed technicians diagnose the problem accurately and get your heat back on as quickly as possible.

Boiler repair is one of the services included in our full range of heating services.

Common Boiler Problems We Repair

We repair a wide range of boiler issues, including a complete loss of heat, leaking pipework or fittings, a pilot light that will not stay lit, low system pressure, and unusual noises such as banging, gurgling, or a kettling sound coming from the unit. We also handle problems with thermostats and controls that prevent a boiler from responding correctly, even when the unit itself is otherwise working.

Common problems include:

  • Complete loss of heat
  • Leaking pipework or fittings
  • A pilot light that will not stay lit
  • Low system pressure
  • Unusual noises such as banging or kettling
  • Thermostat or control issues

Signs Your Boiler Needs Repair

Uneven heating between rooms, a boiler that cycles on and off more frequently than usual, rising energy bills without an obvious cause, and visible corrosion or leaking around the unit are all signs that a repair is needed. Catching these signs early often means a smaller, less expensive repair than waiting until the boiler fails completely.

Signs to watch for:

  • Uneven heating between rooms
  • A boiler that cycles on and off more frequently than usual
  • Rising energy bills without an obvious cause
  • Visible corrosion or leaking around the unit

Diagnosing Boiler Problems

We start every repair call with a thorough diagnosis, checking system pressure, inspecting the burner and heat exchanger, and testing controls and wiring to find the actual source of the problem. This approach means we fix the real issue the first time, rather than guessing and leaving you with a repair that does not hold.

Repair or Replace

Not every boiler problem calls for a full replacement. We look at the age of your unit, the cost of the repair, and how often it has needed attention recently before making a recommendation. A newer boiler with an isolated issue is usually worth repairing, while an older unit with a history of repeated problems may make more financial sense to replace.

Boiler Repair Across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Burnaby

We respond to boiler repair calls throughout Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, and the rest of Metro Vancouver. Since we are based in Port Moody, we can often reach homes in the Tri Cities especially quickly, which matters when a cold house is waiting on a repair. Our familiarity with the heating systems common in these communities also helps us diagnose problems faster once we arrive.

What to Do Before Calling a Plumber

If your boiler has stopped working, check that the pilot light is lit and that the system has adequate pressure, since these are two common and simple causes of a no heat situation. Avoid repeatedly resetting the boiler if it keeps shutting off, since this can sometimes make diagnosing the actual fault more difficult once a technician arrives. If you notice water pooling near the unit, it is worth placing towels underneath and, if you know how, shutting off the water supply to the boiler until we can take a look.

Before you call:

  • Check that the pilot light is lit
  • Check that the system has adequate pressure
  • Avoid repeatedly resetting the boiler if it keeps shutting off
  • Place towels under any pooling water
  • Shut off the water supply to the boiler if you know how and it is safe to do so

Our main water line that goes from the street to our home burst and was flooding the yard and pooling against the house. Within about 1.5 hours of calling Gold Star Plumbing they were able to have someone on site to deal with it. Mo knew exactly what to do and was able to resolve the problem, replace the pipe and get our water running again the same day. This was a big job that took the whole day so I was impressed by how quickly they were able to respond.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review! We’re glad we could respond quickly and get your water main line repair completed the same day. The trenchless repair worked like a charm!

Moe and Ethan from Goldstar did an amazing job for us. We had a major plumbing emergency right before we were having guests over, and Moe went above and beyond to make sure everything was finished in time so we wouldn't have any issues. Moe unclogged our bath tubs, replaced our boiler/hot water tank, and also swapped out our bathroom faucets, shut-off valves, and shower cartridges. He was extremely reliable, walked us through the limitations, and always checked in with us before moving forward with any work. When we still had a small heating hiccup after the initial install, Moe sent Ethan right over. Ethan tested everything thoroughly and replaced a faulty part under warranty with zero extra charges. Thanks to both of them, we had zero hot water interruptions and our guests had a wonderful stay. Highly professional team — 5 stars all around!
Response from the owner:Geraldo it was a pleasure serving your household! From beginning to end we at gold star plumbing and heating take pride in our Troubleshooting, repair and installation of hot water heaters. We’re glad we would explain everything step by step for you and work hard to resolve all issues. Thanks for the great review!

My main water line was leaking, and I initially hired another plumbing company to begin the repair. As the work progressed, I became increasingly concerned about some of their recommendations and felt that I might be paying for additional repairs that were not actually necessary. That’s when I called Mo at Goldstar Plumbing. Even though it was late in the evening, Mo came to my home with his tools and camera equipment and took the time to thoroughly inspect the problem. He carefully explained what he found and gave me the reassurance I needed to make an informed decision. I found Mo to be knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. I really appreciated that he took the time to properly assess the situation rather than simply recommending more work. I would definitely recommend Mo and Goldstar Plumbing to anyone looking for a reliable and honest plumber.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris, thank you for the kind review! We’re glad we could help out with your broken water main line leak and provide our expertise. We take pride in thorough plumbing repairs and inspections. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation

Gold star plumbing completely saved my basement during the recent thunderstorms in Vancouver. My basement started flooding due to all the rain and Gold Star was able to come to my house at 2am and found that my sump pump stopped working. They replaced it and got rid of all the excess water super quick. I tried calling a couple other plumbers but none were able to make it as fast as these guys were. I Highly recommend their services!!
Response from the owner:Happy to say we got there in time before there was too much damage! Goodluck to you Mr.Kwan and thank you for the review means a lot to work in the Killarney area

Frequently Asked Questions

This can be caused by low pressure, a faulty thermostat, a failed pump, or a pilot light that will not stay lit. We diagnose the exact cause before starting any repair.

Leaks are often caused by a worn seal, a corroded pipe fitting, or excess pressure inside the system. We locate the source of the leak and repair it rather than just patching the symptom.

Banging, gurgling, or a kettling sound often points to trapped air, sludge buildup, or a pump issue. We inspect the system to find the specific cause.

Cost depends on the specific issue and the parts needed. We provide a clear quote after diagnosing the problem, before any repair work begins.

It depends on the age of your unit and the cost and frequency of recent repairs. We give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.

We prioritize boiler repair calls, especially during cold weather, and can often respond particularly quickly to homes in the Tri Cities since we are based in Port Moody.
