Condensate trap and line
A blocked trap backs water into the boiler and causes lockouts, so we clean it every visit.
Wall-hung combis and condensing boilers are efficient, but only when they are kept clean. A yearly visit keeps your heat and showers reliable.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
Across Burnaby, many townhomes and renovated houses now run on a compact condensing combi that heats the home and supplies hot water from one unit. These boilers have narrow passages, a condensate trap that can clog, and a plate heat exchanger for showers that slowly loses performance. Left alone, they tend to fail with an error code rather than a gradual decline.
Boiler maintenance in Burnaby from Able Pro focuses on exactly those weak points. We clean the burner and heat exchanger, clear the condensate path, test hot water flow and temperature, and measure combustion. You get a short, honest summary of how your boiler is doing and what, if anything, to plan for.
Modern boilers have a handful of parts that decide whether they run well.

Deposits on the combustion side reduce efficiency and can trigger overheating faults.
If showers have become weaker or cooler, we check flow and flush the plate heat exchanger if needed.
Worn electrodes cause delayed ignition and nuisance lockouts, so we inspect and adjust them.
We check the plastic venting for sagging, loose joints and blocked terminations.
We confirm cold-fill pressure and the expansion vessel charge.
Townhomes around Brentwood, Metrotown and UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain often have combis tucked into closets with little clearance, so we come prepared for tight access. UniverCity's elevation also means colder nights than the rest of the city, which puts more hours on the boiler.
In Burnaby Heights, Lochdale and Deer Lake, we also service older cast-iron boilers and systems with indirect tanks. They need a different approach, with more focus on the burner, venting and the relief valve.

We read stored fault codes so we know what the boiler has been struggling with.
We clean the key parts, then measure combustion and hot water performance.
We explain what we found and quote any parts before replacing them.
We service the heating and hot water sides, not just the burner.
We are used to working in small townhome mechanical spaces.
If a part is fine, we leave it alone and tell you so.
A care plan keeps your yearly service on the calendar.
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Heavy wind-driven rain can enter a poorly terminated vent, and a partly blocked condensate line can back up when the boiler works hard. Both are things we check during maintenance and can usually prevent.
Once a year is the usual recommendation, ideally before the heating season. Many manufacturers list annual service in their warranty terms, so keep your service record.
Restricted flow through the plate heat exchanger, a clogged inlet filter or a sticking flow sensor can all reduce hot water performance. We test and clean these during the visit.
Yes. Many detached homes in Burnaby still have cast-iron boilers, and we service them with the same thoroughness, including the burner, draft, relief valve and controls.
