Buderus Forced Hot Water Boiler Boiler Installation In Beverly, Massachusetts
The Knowlton family of Beverly MA noticed that their home felt uncomfortable this past winter. To help alleviate their discomfort, they would raise the temperature on their thermostat, resulting in higher than normal heating costs. Also, they would run out of hot water when performing everyday activities such as showering or washing dishes. They called Townsend Energy to find a solution to their problem.
We dispatched two of our experienced technicians, Bill Babcock and Lisandro Batistini, to their home. After inspecting their unit, they determined that their boiler was cracked. A cracked boiler can result in boiler leaks, water damage, and other serious issues. Therefore, due to the age of the boiler and the nature of the leak, our technicians recommended a Buderus boiler installation for their Beverly, MA home.
Problem: The Knowlton residence had a cracked boiler that was causing discomfort.
Solution: Townsend Energy removed their old boiler and replaced it with a new Buderus hot water in their Beverly, Massachusetts home.
Boiler Replacement In Beverly Massachusetts
One of the tell-tale signs that indicate the need for a boiler replacement is a crack. A boiler crack is serious in nature and should be attended to immediately. Thankfully, our Beverly MA customer was proactive and called us shortly after they noticed a problem with their system.
An HVAC contractor can repair a boiler crack. However, in most cases, the price to fix a cracked boiler is extraordinarily costly. Therefore, it is not a cost-effective choice. Usually, with this type of problem, it is best to replace the unit altogether. For this reason, our Beverly MA customers opted for a boiler replacement instead of a very expensive boiler repair.
Their boiler was old. The process of heating (and then cooling down) throughout the years causes the metal of the boiler’s body, or tank, to expand and contract. This constant expansion and contraction eventually lead to boiler cracks and leaks.

What Beverly Homeowners Should Know About Boiler Leaks
Many homeowners may attempt a DIY boiler repair when they notice a problem with their system. Unless you are a trained technician, however, a DIY boiler repair is something that you should avoid. A boiler is a complicated system. You will need extensive training to perform an accurate diagnosis. Likewise, only an HVAC contractor can determine the best solution to remedy a boiler problem.
One common issue that occurs with a boiler is a boiler leak. A leaking boiler may sound like something that is minor. However, the opposite is true. If you notice that your boiler is leaking, you should take immediate action. A leaking hot water boiler causes a number of problems. Some of the issues that accompany a boiler leak include:
- Electric components within the unit can short circuit, leading to a fire
- Structural damage of your home
- Mold growth in the home
Therefore, whenever you notice water under your boiler, be sure to call the experts at Townsend Energy immediately.
Common Causes For A Boiler Leak In Beverly
There are various reasons that can cause a boiler to leak. Some leaks occur within the unit, while others leak from the bottom. Below, we discuss a few common causes for residential boiler leaks.
- The Pressure Valve: There is to much pressure in the boiler. When the boiler rises above 18-21 PSI, water will begin to leak from the relief valve to compensate for the extra pressure.
- The Temperature Valve: Likewise, when the water temperature within the boiler becomes too high, then it will begin to leak from the temperature valve. This could mean that the temperature probe in your boiler is malfunctioning.
- Rust Or Corrosion: Many boiler leaks are caused by rusting or corroding boiler components. If it is a simple component that is rusting, then it is possible to replace it. However, if a component, as well as the tank, are both corroding, then the boiler will necessitate a replacement. The boiler is past the point of repair.
- Pipe Fittings: All gas boilers have pipe fittings. If a leak occurs around the pipe fittings, then the boiler was never installed properly.
- Boiler Pump: A boiler leak can originate around the seals of the boiler pump. The pump will need a replacement and the boiler will need to be resealed.

Carl - Beverly, MA 01915
We needed help understanding how to control our heat pump and auxiliary heating system with the ecobee thermostat. Brian did a wonderful job explaining it to us. He showed us how what was thought was unexpected behavior is controlled by thermostat settings (we can turn it on or off as we wish). He showed us features of the thermostat that we can use to improve the behavior of our heating/cooling system. Thanks to Brian for his time and patience!
Excellent job!
JustinPapalios - Beverly, MA 01915
We have had this issue for a few months and have had other technicians look into it with no solution. Brian took the time to check every possible source of the problem and explained what he was doing and why along the way. He did all the safety tests to make sure we had the right amount of gas. While testing, since there was a chance he would find nothing wrong, he had the forethought to call the manufacturer and waited for an agent to take the call (while he was still checking the last couple of possible problems.) The manufacturer had seen this issue before and provided a solution that will hopefully work! We really appreciated Brian taking the time to check everything!
excellent service

We had a sudden oil leak in our basement. The Townsend Oil team got everything replaced for us the next day! The work was done neatly and efficiently. We are very pleased with our service.
Hand's down, Townsend Oil's best service technician: Dave Eaton!
Peter - Beverly, MA 01915
As a Townsend Oil customer since the early 1980's (!!), I have experienced the complete gamut of service technicians — from the absolute worst, incompetent know-nothings, to some quite experienced and helpful mechanics — for my various oil-fired furnaces. Dave Eaton is far and away the very best; honest, knowledgable, efficient and friendly! Make no mistake: From this day forward I WILL ACCEPT NO OTHER TOWNSEND SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAN DAVE EATON to lay a hand or tool on my current oil-fed pool heating furnace.
