From initial contact to final verification — here is how we handle boiler repair.
KIC Refrigeration starts every boiler repair in Solon, OH with a thorough safety and operational inspection. We verify that the pressure relief valve releases at its rated pressure, the low-water cutoff shuts the burner down when water level drops, and the high-limit control prevents overheating. Safety is always the first step.
We use a combustion analyzer to measure flue gas temperature, CO levels, O2 percentage, and stack draft. These readings tell us if the burner is firing efficiently or if the heat exchanger, burner assembly, or gas valve needs attention.
Our Solon technician repairs the boiler using manufacturer-specified replacement parts. Whether the issue is a failed circulator, a cracked heat exchanger section, a stuck zone valve, or a malfunctioning aquastat, we install the correct part and verify proper operation.
KIC Refrigeration verifies every boiler repair in Solon, OH by running a complete system test. We confirm operating pressure is stable, all zones circulate properly, combustion readings are within specification, and every safety control responds correctly. We document all final readings for your records.

Boiler repair in Solon typically costs $200 to $700 for common component failures like thermocouples, aquastats, zone valves, circulator pumps, and expansion tanks. Ignition control module or gas valve replacement runs $300 to $800 depending on the boiler manufacturer. Heat exchanger replacement is the most expensive repair at $1,500 to $4,000, varying by boiler type — cast iron sectional, copper fin tube, or stainless steel condensing — and BTU input rating. KIC Refrigeration provides a detailed written estimate with itemized parts and labor costs before beginning any boiler repair at your Solon property so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. KIC Refrigeration services all types of boilers in Solon including combination boilers that provide both space heating and domestic hot water from a single unit. We work on combi boilers from Navien, Rinnai, Viessmann, Weil-McLain, Burnham, Buderus, Baxi, and other manufacturers. Common combi boiler repairs include diverter valve replacement, plate heat exchanger descaling or replacement, flow sensor calibration, expansion vessel recharging, and ignition module troubleshooting. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools specific to combi boiler systems and understand the interaction between the heating and hot water circuits that makes these units unique to diagnose.
The repair-versus-replace decision depends on your boiler age, AFUE efficiency rating, and the cost of the current repair. If the boiler is under 15 years old and the repair is under $2,000, repairing usually makes financial sense. Cast iron boilers over 25 to 30 years old with cracked sections, or standard-efficiency units with AFUE ratings below 80 percent, are typically better replaced with a new high-efficiency condensing boiler rated 90 to 98 percent AFUE. A condensing boiler extracts latent heat from flue gases that older boilers waste up the chimney, saving 15 to 20 percent on annual fuel costs. KIC Refrigeration provides honest repair-versus-replace assessments for Solon homeowners based on equipment condition rather than sales targets.
Boiler pressure loss indicates a leak somewhere in the sealed system. The most common causes are a failed expansion tank bladder that allows air into the system, leaking zone valve packings, corroded pipe fittings or baseboard connections, a weeping pressure relief valve, or a pinhole leak in the heat exchanger itself. A healthy hydronic system holds 12 to 18 PSI when cold and rises to 18 to 25 PSI at operating temperature. If the pressure gauge drops below 10 PSI, the low-water cutoff should shut the burner down to prevent damage. KIC Refrigeration pressure-tests the system, inspects all fittings and valves, and locates the leak at your Solon home so we can repair it permanently.
