Boilers and hydronic heating are our specialty. We install and service IBC boilers, plumb renovations and new homes, and handle the gas work that goes with them. Clean, tidy mechanical rooms that are easy to service.
Plumbing, Heating, and Gas Fitting
What we do
Residential and light commercial work across the Bow Valley. Boilers and hydronic heating are where we spend most of our time.
New boiler installs, replacements and repairs. Radiant floor heating, baseboard and in-floor manifolds. IBC is our boiler of choice.
Annual service for IBC and other condensing boilers, including heat exchanger inspection and cleaning when it needs it.
Leaks, repairs, fixture swaps and Poly-B replacement. Kitchens, bathrooms and laundry.
Plumbing and hydronic heating for renovations and new construction. We do the plumbing and heating scope, not general contracting.
Tank and tankless water heaters, including IBC condensing tankless units and combi boilers that make hot water on demand.
Gas lines and hook-ups for boilers, water heaters, ranges and other appliances.
IBC boiler service
A condensing boiler works best with a clean heat exchanger. We service and clean IBC boilers across the Bow Valley.
IBC calls for the boiler to be inspected once a year by a qualified service technician. At that service the heat exchanger is examined and, if it is fouled, cleaned with water and a stiff plastic brush. Nothing metal touches the stainless steel.1
1. Per IBC’s installation and operating instructions for its residential boilers. Check your boiler’s manual and warranty terms at ibcboiler.com. ↩
Book the annual service every year, and don’t skip it. Some boilers foul faster: ones that work hard, homes with dusty air or ongoing renovations, or gas with sulphur in it. For those we may suggest checking and cleaning more often, such as twice a year. That’s our recommendation from what we see on the job, not an IBC requirement.
Boiler retrofits
This older home had a floor-standing boiler, a separate hot water tank and years of added-on piping. We replaced it with a wall-hung combi boiler that does heat and hot water in one unit.
A combi hangs on the wall and replaces both the old boiler and the hot water tank. The floor opens up for storage, a laundry or just room to work.
Every pipe is planned and run square, so the next service is quicker and it’s easy to see what goes where.
