Expansion Tank Replacement in Hillsborough, NC

Water expands when it heats, and the expansion tank gives it somewhere to go. When the tank's internal bladder fails, the tank fills with water and system pressure climbs every time the boiler fires.

The usual sign is a relief valve that drips or blows at 30 psi on a hot water boiler. Tap the tank: a healthy one sounds hollow at the top, a waterlogged one sounds solid all the way. Older steel compression tanks hung from the basement ceiling can waterlog too and need draining.

Reliable Boiler Service connects Hillsborough, NC homeowners with technicians who replace the tank, set the air charge to match the cold fill pressure (often around 12 psi), and check the pressure reducing valve while they are there. A tank charged wrong works almost as badly as a failed one.

Left alone, it wears out relief valves and stresses every joint in the system.

Expansion Tank Replacement FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Expansion Tank Replacement

Questions we hear most often about Expansion Tank Replacement in Hillsborough, NC.

Talk to a real person
What pressure should my boiler run at in Hillsborough, NC?
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 Hillsborough, NC?
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.
What does a lockout code on my boiler mean?
The boiler tried to light several times and failed, so it shut itself off for safety. Note the code before resetting, since it narrows the cause down to ignition, flame sensing, venting or water pressure.
Can I convert my oil boiler to gas in Hillsborough, NC?
If gas service is available on your street, yes. The job includes a new boiler, a properly sized gas line, a vent or chimney liner, and removal or abandonment of the oil tank.
