Dependable Boiler Services That Keep You Warm
A properly installed and maintained boiler offers quiet heating that can outperform forced-air systems in both comfort and efficiency. Boilers provide consistent warmth through hydronic heating, which circulates heated water through pipes instead of using air. But when a boiler fails or underperforms, it can lead to costly energy waste, uneven heating, or safety concerns.
At James A. Wheat & Sons, Inc., we provide:
- Boiler installation and replacement for homes and businesses upgrading or building new systems
- Boiler repair for systems that are leaking, making strange noises, or failing to heat properly
- Annual boiler maintenance and inspections to extend system life and maintain peak efficiency
- System upgrades including smart thermostats and energy-efficient models
We serve both residential and commercial clients in Gaithersburg and DC with prompt, professional boiler services tailored to your space and your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boiler Services
How do I know if my boiler needs repair or replacement? If your boiler frequently breaks down, struggles to heat evenly, makes unusual noises, or is over 15–20 years old, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. We provide honest evaluations and will recommend the most practical option for your situation.
How often should I service my boiler? Boilers should be professionally serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps identify issues early, ensures safe operation, and keeps your system running efficiently.
What types of boilers do you install? We install gas, oil, and electric boilers, including condensing and non-condensing models. We’ll help you select the best type and size based on your property and heating needs.
Can you install a boiler in a home without one previously? Yes. We can design and install complete boiler systems in homes or buildings that currently use another type of heating. We’ll assess your space and provide a tailored plan for your new system.
Can I switch from a furnace to a boiler heating system? Yes, you can convert from a furnace to a boiler system in your home, but it requires a custom installation plan. Unlike furnaces, which use forced air, boilers use hot water or steam to heat your home through radiators or baseboard heaters.
