Uneven floor temperatures
Unbalanced manifold loops leave some rooms cooler. We check flow and adjust balancing valves.

Overview
Boiler maintenance in Coquitlam for radiant and zoned homes
Many Coquitlam homes, especially newer houses on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau, rely on in-floor radiant heat on at least one level. Radiant systems are wonderfully even, but they are sensitive to things that a basic burner tune-up never looks at: trapped air, dirty water, a sticking mixing valve, or an outdoor reset curve that no longer suits the house.
Our boiler maintenance in Coquitlam covers the boiler itself and the hydronic system around it. We clean and test the burner and heat exchanger, but we also look at manifold flow, mixing temperatures, air separation and the condition of the water. You end up with warmer floors, quieter pipes and a boiler that is not working harder than it should.
Common radiant issues a tune-up prevents
Small problems in a radiant system often show up as one cool room or a noisy loop.
Sticking mixing valve
If the mixing valve drifts, floors run too hot or too cool. We test and set it.
Air trapped in loops
Air in high loops causes noise and cold spots. We purge and check automatic vents.
Sludge in the water
We clean dirt and magnetic separators so debris does not reach the boiler.
Pump wear
We listen for bearing noise and check that circulators move the flow each zone needs.
Outdated reset curve
If the house changed, such as new windows, the outdoor reset may need adjusting.
Local service
Serving radiant homes all over Coquitlam
Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau homes sit higher than most of the city, see colder nights, and often have radiant slabs in walk-out basements. Eagle Ridge houses commonly combine baseboards upstairs with floor heat below, so mixing valves are a regular part of our visit there.
In Ranch Park, Austin Heights and Maillardville, older baseboard systems are more common. They need less balancing but more attention to the boiler's age, relief valve and expansion tank.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
One bedroom on my Burke Mountain home's radiant floor is always cooler. Can maintenance fix that?
Often. Uneven loops are usually a balancing or air issue. We check flow at the manifold, purge the loop and adjust the balancing valve. If the room simply loses more heat, we explain the options.
Does radiant water need to be treated?
Clean, properly treated water protects the boiler and pumps. We check for sludge and signs of corrosion, and clean the separators. If the water is in poor condition, we may recommend a flush and inhibitor.
When should Coquitlam homeowners book boiler maintenance?
Late summer or early fall is ideal, before radiant floors need to start warming up. Slab systems are slow to respond, so you want them running well before the first cold snap.
Why does my radiant system make a trickling sound?
That is usually air moving through the tubing. A good purge and a working air separator generally solve it.
