Overview
Boiler repair in Port Moody for combi hot water problems
Combi boilers are popular in Port Moody townhomes and newer houses because one compact unit supplies both heating and hot water. When the hot water side starts misbehaving, though, the symptoms can be confusing: the house is warm, but the shower swings from hot to cold, takes ages to warm up, or never gets past lukewarm.
Most combi hot water faults trace back to a few parts: the flow sensor that tells the boiler a tap is open, the diverter valve that switches between heating and hot water, the plate heat exchanger, or an inlet filter. Able Pro tests each one and repairs the faulty part, with a clear quote first. Heating failures and lockouts are covered too, any hour.
Combi symptoms and likely causes
What you notice at the tap tells us where to look.
Hot then cold
A sticking flow sensor or low flow rate can make the burner cycle on and off mid-shower.
Heat but no hot water
A failed diverter valve or flow switch keeps the boiler in heating mode.
Weak hot water flow
Debris in the cold inlet filter or the plate heat exchanger restricts flow.
Radiators warm in summer
A diverter valve that leaks through sends hot water to the heating side when you run a tap.
No heat or hot water
Ignition, gas supply, condensate and venting faults stop both sides at once.
Local service
Combi and boiler repair around Port Moody
Townhomes around Suter Brook, Klahanie and Moody Centre are where we see the most combis, often in tight closets with condensate pumps. Hillside houses on Heritage Mountain, College Park and Pleasantside may have either a combi or a boiler with an indirect tank, and we repair both.
Older homes in Ioco and Glenayre more often have traditional boilers, where no-heat and pilot problems are the more common calls.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Why does my Suter Brook combi give hot water that goes cold mid-shower?
Usually a flow sensor that sticks or a low flow rate that makes the burner shut off. A clogged inlet filter or low-flow showerhead can contribute. We test flow and clean or replace the sensor.
Can a combi boiler run two showers in a Port Moody townhome?
It depends on its output and your incoming water temperature. Many combis manage one shower well and two with reduced flow. If you regularly need more, we can talk about options.
Why do my radiators warm up when I run hot water?
The diverter valve is probably leaking through, sending heated water to the heating circuit. Replacing the diverter cartridge or valve usually solves it.
Is a combi worth repairing or should I replace it?
Most hot water faults are repairable parts. Replacement is worth considering only if the heat exchanger is failing or repairs keep coming. We will give you an honest opinion.
