You’re not calling because you want to spend money on your boiler. You’re calling because it’s cold, or because something’s making a noise it shouldn’t, or because your heat cuts out at the worst possible time.
What you actually want is simple: consistent heat, lower energy bills, and the confidence that your system won’t fail when temperatures drop below freezing. That’s what a properly functioning boiler gives you.
When your boiler runs efficiently, your home stays comfortable without the system cycling on and off constantly. You’re not waking up to cold mornings or dealing with uneven heating between rooms. Your fuel costs stay predictable instead of spiking because the system’s working twice as hard to do half the job. And most importantly, you’re not dealing with emergency breakdowns during the coldest weeks of the year when every HVAC company in Roxbury, NY is booked solid.
Excellent Air Conditioning and Heating Service has worked on heating systems across Roxbury, NY for over thirty years. We’re a family-operated business, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who actually care whether your heat works tonight.
Our technicians are licensed and insured, and they’ve seen every type of boiler system common to this area. Old cast iron units, modern condensing boilers, gas systems, oil systems—we’ve repaired them all. Roxbury winters are brutal, with temperatures regularly dropping into the teens and twenties. We know what that kind of cold does to heating systems, and we know how to keep them running.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for technicians who diagnose problems correctly, use quality parts, and stand behind their work.
First, you call or contact us and describe what’s happening with your boiler. Is it not firing up? Making strange noises? Leaking? Not heating water properly? We ask a few questions to understand the situation.
If it’s an emergency—meaning you have no heat—we prioritize getting someone to your property as quickly as possible, often the same day. For non-emergency repairs, we schedule a time that works for you.
When our technician arrives, they’ll inspect your boiler system thoroughly. That includes checking the burner, heat exchanger, pressure levels, thermostat connection, fuel supply, and venting. We’re looking for the actual problem, not just the symptom you’re experiencing.
Once we identify what’s wrong, we explain it to you in plain terms. We tell you what needs to be fixed, what it will cost, and how long it will take. If there are multiple ways to approach the repair, we’ll give you options. You decide whether to move forward—no pressure, no surprise charges.
After you approve the work, we complete the repair using manufacturer-approved parts. Before we leave, we test the system to make sure it’s operating correctly and safely. You get upfront pricing, and you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Our boiler repair service in Roxbury, NY covers all major system types: gas boilers, oil boilers, electric boilers, and combination systems. We handle both residential boiler repair and commercial applications.
During a repair call, we diagnose the specific issue affecting your system. Common problems include faulty igniters, broken circulators, pressure issues, thermostat malfunctions, leaking pipes or valves, and burner problems. We also address efficiency issues that cause your system to run constantly or fail to heat properly.
Repair costs typically range from $190 to $659 depending on the problem and parts needed. Emergency repairs outside regular hours may include additional service fees, but you’ll know all costs before we start work. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Roxbury’s harsh winter climate—with average lows in the low twenties—puts constant stress on boiler systems from October through April. That’s why we also recommend annual maintenance. Regular servicing catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies. According to industry data, about half of all emergency boiler breakdowns could have been prevented with routine maintenance.
If your boiler is older or constantly breaking down, we’ll be honest about whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter investment. We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need, but we won’t keep patching a system that’s costing you more in repairs than it’s worth.
Most boiler repairs in Roxbury, NY run between $190 and $659. The actual cost depends on what’s broken and what parts are needed to fix it.
Simple repairs like replacing a faulty thermostat or resetting a pressure valve cost less. More involved repairs—like replacing a circulator pump, fixing a cracked heat exchanger, or addressing burner issues—cost more because they require more labor and more expensive parts.
Emergency repairs during off-hours or on weekends typically include an additional service call fee, usually between $100 and $200. But you’ll know the total cost before any work begins. We give you upfront pricing after diagnosing the problem, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
For true emergencies—meaning you have no heat—we prioritize same-day service and typically arrive within a few hours of your call. We understand that losing heat in Roxbury during winter isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous.
Our response time depends on the day, time, and how many other emergency calls we’re handling. During extreme cold snaps when multiple systems fail across the area, response times may be slightly longer, but we work to get to everyone as quickly as possible.
If your boiler is still producing some heat but not working properly, we can usually schedule a repair visit within 24 to 48 hours. Non-emergency repairs give us more flexibility to schedule a time that works best for you while still addressing the problem before it becomes a complete breakdown.
The most common issue we see is boilers that won’t fire up or keep shutting off. This is usually caused by a faulty igniter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a problem with the pilot light on older systems.
Leaking boilers are another frequent problem. Leaks can come from corroded pipes, faulty pressure relief valves, or a cracked heat exchanger. Small leaks often get worse over time, so it’s better to address them early.
We also see a lot of circulation problems where the boiler runs but doesn’t heat the home evenly. This is typically caused by a broken circulator pump, air trapped in the system, or low water pressure. Strange noises—banging, whistling, or gurgling—usually indicate sediment buildup, air in the lines, or pressure issues. These problems won’t necessarily stop your heat immediately, but they signal that something needs attention before it turns into a bigger repair.
Yes. We repair both gas boiler systems and oil boiler systems commonly found in Roxbury, NY homes. We also work on electric boilers and combination boiler systems.
Gas boilers are more common in newer homes and properties with natural gas service. They tend to be more efficient and require less maintenance than oil systems. Common gas boiler repairs include issues with the gas valve, igniter, burner, or venting.
Oil boilers are still prevalent in many Roxbury properties, especially older homes. Oil systems require more frequent maintenance and are more prone to issues with the burner, fuel filter, and oil supply line. We’re experienced with both fuel types and carry parts for the most common models.
Whether your system is a traditional cast iron boiler or a modern high-efficiency condensing unit, our technicians have the training and experience to diagnose and repair it correctly.
If your boiler is less than 15 years old and the repair costs less than a third of what replacement would cost, repair usually makes sense. If your boiler is over 20 years old and needs a major repair, replacement is often the smarter financial decision.
Here’s why: older boilers are less efficient, which means higher fuel costs every month. They also break down more frequently as components wear out. If you’re calling for repairs multiple times per year, those costs add up quickly.
A new high-efficiency boiler can reduce your heating costs by 20 to 30 percent compared to an older system. Modern boilers also come with warranties that cover parts and labor for several years, giving you protection against unexpected repair costs. When we’re at your property, we’ll give you an honest assessment. If your current boiler has years of reliable service left, we’ll tell you. If it’s time to replace, we’ll explain why and what your options are. You make the final call based on what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Yes. All of our technicians are licensed and insured. Boiler repair involves working with fuel lines, high-temperature water or steam, and pressurized systems. Proper licensing ensures the technician has the training and knowledge to do the work safely and correctly.
Insurance protects you if something goes wrong during the repair. If a technician accidentally damages your property or if there’s an issue with the work performed, our insurance covers it. You shouldn’t have anyone working on your boiler system who isn’t properly licensed and insured.
We also stay current with modern boiler technology and repair techniques. Heating systems have changed significantly over the past decade, especially with the shift toward high-efficiency condensing boilers and smart thermostats. Our technicians receive ongoing training to work on both older systems and newer technology, so you’re getting someone who knows what they’re doing regardless of what type of boiler you have.
