Boiler Services in Oklahoma City
If your home relies on radiant heat, hydronic baseboards, or in-floor heating, your boiler is the heart of the system. Silvernail Plumbing, Heating & Cooling provides expert boiler repair, replacement, and annual maintenance for homes and small businesses across Oklahoma City and surrounding areas. We’ve been trusted with comfort systems since 1921—and boilers are part of our foundation.
When your boiler stops working, our team shows up fast to get the heat flowing again.
Boilers aren’t as common as forced air systems in Oklahoma homes, but they offer dependable, even heating when properly maintained. We service both gas and electric boilers—whether they're radiant floor systems in a new construction home or baseboard setups in older Northwest OKC properties. Our technicians are trained in the unique mechanical and pressure requirements of these systems, so you won’t get a guess—you’ll get a real solution.
Common boiler problems we repair in Oklahoma City homes:
- No heat or inconsistent heating
- Rumbling or kettling noises (indicating scale buildup)
- Pressure loss or leaking valves
- Pilot light or ignition problems
- Circulator pump failure
- Radiators not warming up evenly
- Frozen pipes or baseboard loops
- High energy bills due to aging systems
- Boiler shutting down unexpectedly

Hydronic Heat You Can Rely On All Winter Long
When it’s time to upgrade, we’ll walk you through the best options for your home.
Boiler Replacement Done Right—Safe, Efficient, and Built to Last
Boilers typically last 15–25 years, but they eventually become inefficient, unreliable, or unsafe. We’ll help you determine whether a repair or full replacement makes more sense based on your system’s age, condition, and performance. We install top-tier boilers designed for Oklahoma winters, sized correctly for your layout, and compatible with your existing radiators or in-floor tubing.
When to consider replacing your boiler:
- Repairs cost more than 30–40% of replacement
- Rust, corrosion, or cracks in the heat exchanger
- Frequent shutdowns or pressure problems
- Home isn’t heating evenly anymore
- Older boiler lacks safety shutoffs or modulating controls
- Parts for your current unit are hard to find or discontinued
- Annual maintenance can’t keep up with issues
- You’re remodeling or adding square footage to the home
- You want better efficiency and lower utility bills
- Local code requires an upgrade for resale or insurance
Don’t wait for cold weather to find out your boiler isn’t ready.
Preventative Boiler Maintenance Protects Your Investment
Our annual boiler maintenance service helps keep your heating system clean, safe, and ready for the season. We check every component—valves, controls, pressure levels, burners, circulation pumps, and thermostats—to prevent breakdowns and extend your system’s life. It’s especially important in older Oklahoma City homes where sediment, hard water, and pipe insulation can impact performance.
What’s included in our seasonal boiler tune-up:
- Full safety inspection of all controls and valves
- Checking expansion tank and water pressure levels
- Bleeding air from radiators or loops
- Testing circulator pumps and zone valves
- Burner and heat exchanger cleaning (if accessible)
- Checking gas lines and connections for leaks
- Flushing sediment buildup (if applicable)
- Verifying combustion efficiency and flue ventilation
- Thermostat function check and recalibration
- Written report with repair recommendations if needed
We’ve been working on heating systems of all kinds since the days boilers were the norm.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Boiler Services
What’s the difference between a boiler and a furnace?
A boiler heats water and circulates it through pipes to warm radiators or radiant floor systems, while a furnace heats air and blows it through ductwork. Boilers are typically quieter, offer more consistent heat, and work well in homes without ductwork. Furnaces are more common in Oklahoma homes, but boilers are still widely used, especially in older or custom builds.
How do I know if my boiler is working efficiently?
Signs of poor efficiency include longer run times, uneven heating, increased gas or electric bills, and strange sounds like gurgling or banging. If your boiler is more than 15 years old or hasn’t been serviced annually, it may be running well below its rated efficiency. We can perform a full combustion analysis and system check to see if a tune-up or upgrade is warranted.
Can you repair or replace cast iron boilers?
Yes. We work on older cast iron boilers as well as modern modulating-condensing systems. If your current unit is still structurally sound, we can often replace key components like pumps, controls, or valves to extend its lifespan. If it’s leaking or corroded, we’ll recommend a safe, efficient replacement and take care of the removal and install.
Do boilers work well with modern smart thermostats?
Most new boiler systems are compatible with Wi-Fi and programmable thermostats, though compatibility depends on zoning, wiring, and system design. We’ll evaluate your setup and install a smart control system that works seamlessly with your boiler and your comfort needs.
Is boiler service more expensive than furnace service?
Boiler work tends to be more specialized, so yes—repair or install costs may be slightly higher than with forced air systems. However, many homeowners find the consistent, radiant heat and long-term reliability worth the investment. We’ll always provide a detailed estimate and explain your options before beginning any work.
