No heat? Quick checks before you call

If your heat stops, check the thermostat, the boiler's emergency switch and breaker, and your fuel supply before calling. If those are fine, the problem is usually a component like an ignition part, circulator or zone valve. Cornerstone Plumbing & Heating diagnoses boiler and baseboard heat problems around Milford: (508) 361-9450.

Why is my boiler on but the house isn't heating?

If the boiler runs but the house stays cold, heat isn't getting to the rooms. Common causes are a failed circulator pump, a stuck zone valve, a thermostat fault, or air in the baseboard lines. Cornerstone Plumbing & Heating finds which part failed instead of replacing parts by guesswork.

Should I keep pressing the reset button on my boiler?

No. Press it once at most. If the boiler locks out again, something is causing it, such as a fuel, ignition or safety problem, and repeated resets can flood an oil burner with fuel or hide a real fault. Leave it off and call Cornerstone Plumbing & Heating at (508) 361-9450.

How long can a landlord leave tenants without heat in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts landlords who supply heat must keep habitable rooms at least 68°F during the day and 64°F at night from September 15 to May 31, so a heat failure needs to be repaired promptly. Property managers can call Cornerstone Plumbing & Heating at (508) 361-9450 with the unit address and system details.

How do I keep my pipes from freezing while the heat is out?

Keep doors to rooms closed to hold heat, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and let a faucet drip slowly if temperatures are well below freezing. Never heat pipes with an open flame. If a pipe has already frozen or burst, Cornerstone Plumbing can repair it once the heat is back.
