    Why Hanson boilers need expert service

    Hanson's residential development produced many homes in the 1960s and 1970s with original hot-water boilers that are now operating 40 to 50 years into their service life without full system evaluation.

    Many Hanson homes have had individual boiler components replaced over the years — a new circulator, a pressure relief valve — without anyone assessing the overall system condition or remaining useful life.

    Hanson's rural layout means homeowners who call out-of-area contractors for boiler emergencies often wait longer for service — having a South Shore contractor who commits to the area matters.

    Hanson's colder winters put sustained demand on heating systems that may not have been professionally inspected in years — deferred maintenance produces predictable failures at the worst time.

    How we handle Hanson boiler problems

    Boiler diagnostic and repair

    We identify the failing component — circulator, pressure relief, aquastat, expansion tank, gas valve — and repair it directly.

    Pressure relief and safety check

    PRVs and low-water cutoffs are safety-critical and fail silently. We test and replace these on every service visit.

    Boiler replacement

    When repair no longer makes economic sense, we replace with properly sized equipment, pull the MA permit, and commission correctly.

    The $99 service fee applies toward any repair or replacement once you move forward.

    Hanson boiler repair FAQs

    How long do boilers last in Hanson homes?

    Hot-water boilers in Hanson's housing stock are often 30 to 50 years old. We assess condition and give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation based on what we find, not just the age.

    My Hanson boiler keeps losing pressure. What's wrong?

    Pressure loss usually means a leak in the system, a failing expansion tank, or a pressure relief valve stuck open. We diagnose the specific cause before recommending a fix.

    Is emergency boiler service available in Hanson?

    Yes. We answer 24/7 and dispatch from Quincy — about 35 to 40 minutes from Hanson. No-heat calls get priority in winter. Call (617) 479-9911.

    Should I repair or replace my Hanson boiler?

    If repair cost is under 40 percent of replacement and the unit is under 20 years old, repair usually makes sense. We give you both numbers honestly and let you decide.

    Do you pull permits for boiler replacement in Hanson?

    Yes. Massachusetts requires a permit for boiler replacement. We manage the permit and inspection as part of the job.

    What are the warning signs my boiler is about to fail?

    Watch for: frequent pilot outages or ignition lockouts, pressure that keeps climbing or dropping without explanation, banging or kettling sounds during a heating cycle, visible rust or moisture around the boiler body, and heating bills that have jumped without a weather explanation. Any one of these warrants a diagnostic call before you lose heat entirely.

    How long does a boiler repair take?

    Most single-component repairs — circulator pump, expansion tank, pressure relief valve, aquastat — are completed in one visit of 1–3 hours. If we need to order a part, we'll tell you upfront and schedule the return visit. Full boiler replacements typically take a full day.

    Do you warranty your boiler repairs?

    Yes. Labor is warrantied for one year. Parts carry the manufacturer warranty, which varies by component. We stand behind our work — if the same issue comes back within the warranty period, we come back.
