Low-Water Cutoff Service in San Jose, CA

The low-water cutoff shuts the burner off if water in the boiler drops too low. Firing a dry boiler can crack it, so this safety device needs to work every time.

There are two common types. Float type cutoffs on steam boilers need regular blowdown: you open the drain on the cutoff while the boiler runs to flush sediment out of the float chamber. Probe type cutoffs need the probe pulled and cleaned, since scale on the probe can fool it.

On hot water systems, a low-water cutoff often appears where the boiler sits above the radiation, and it trips when a leak or an air pocket drops the level.

Reliable Boiler Service connects San Jose, CA homeowners with technicians who test the cutoff by lowering the water and watching the burner stop, clean or replace probes and floats, and show you how to do the blowdown yourself.

Call Reliable Boiler Service at (866) 456-6311 for low-water cutoff service.

Low-Water Cutoff Service FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Low-Water Cutoff Service

Questions we hear most often about Low-Water Cutoff Service in San Jose, CA.

Talk to a real person
What pressure should my boiler run at in San Jose, CA?
Most residential hot water boilers sit around 12 to 15 psi when cold and stay under 30 psi when hot. Steam boilers are different and run at a fraction of a pound.
How long does a boiler last?
Cast iron boilers often run 20 to 30 years with yearly service. Wall-hung condensing boilers tend to have a shorter life and depend more on regular maintenance.
Is a combi boiler a good fit for my home in San Jose, CA?
A combi suits homes with one or two bathrooms and a gas line big enough for its hot water demand. Larger households often do better with a heat-only boiler and an indirect tank.
Why are my radiators cold at the top?
Air is trapped in them. Bleed each radiator with a radiator key until water runs steadily, then check the boiler pressure and top it up if needed.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally before the heating season. Steam boilers with a float type low-water cutoff also need regular blowdown through the winter.
