Call (973) 754-1232 Request Service

Montclair's older homes set a high bar for heating work. Steam systems in century-old houses have their own logic, and a technician who does not understand it can make things worse. Our crew repairs steam and hot-water boilers all over Montclair, with same-day or next-day visits available.

Typical calls include banging pipes, cold radiators, a boiler that shuts off on low water, and leaks around older fittings. We explain what we find in everyday words, and we agree on the price before any work begins.

Keeping Montclair Radiator Systems Running

Many Montclair homes still run on their original radiator systems, with decorative cast iron in room after room. Keeping them working means paying attention to the small parts: radiator vents, main vents, valves, and the boiler's water level controls. Uneven heat in these houses often traces back to one of those.

Mario and Lori Riccobono have run Air Temp since 1999, and older radiator systems like Montclair's are work we know well. When a repair is worth doing, we do it. When the boiler is beyond help, you hear that from us straight.

Boiler Repair Questions in Montclair

Why do only some radiators heat up in my Montclair home?

On steam, cold radiators usually have a stuck or failed air vent, or the main vents are not letting air out fast enough. On hot water, air trapped in the radiator is the usual cause. We fix the vents or bleed the system.

My steam boiler keeps shutting off. What could it be?

Often the low-water cutoff is tripping because the water level is low or the control is dirty. It can also be a pressure control or burner problem. Do not keep adding water blindly, since a technician should check why it is dropping.

Do you repair old boilers that other companies would replace?

We judge every boiler on its own condition. If an older one is sound and parts are available, repair is often the better choice. If it is cracked or unsafe, we explain why replacement makes sense.
