Low-Water Cutoff Service in Mount Lebanon, PA

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 Mount Lebanon, PA 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 Mount Lebanon, PA.

Talk to a real person
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.
Why does my steam heat bang and hammer?
Banging usually comes from condensate trapped in a pipe that lost its pitch or a radiator tilted the wrong way. A pressuretrol set too high makes it worse.
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.
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.
Do you handle steam boilers in older buildings?
Yes. Reliable Boiler Service connects owners with technicians who work on one-pipe and two-pipe steam, including air vents, pressuretrols, sight glasses and low-water cutoffs.
