You’re not looking for a lecture on BTUs or a sales pitch on a new system. You want your heat back on so your pipes don’t freeze, your family stays comfortable, and you’re not burning money on emergency hotel rooms.
That’s what boiler repair should do. Stop the problem. Restore the heat. Give you one less thing to worry about when temperatures drop into the teens.
We handle gas boilers, oil boilers, steam systems, and hot water setups. If it heats your home and it’s not working, we’ll figure out why and fix it. Most repairs happen the same day because waiting around in a cold house isn’t a real option in January.
You’ll know what’s wrong, what it costs, and how long it takes before we start. No surprise fees. No upselling you into a replacement if a repair makes sense. Just straightforward heating repair that gets your boiler running again.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling is based right here in Monmouth County. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen what happens when boilers fail during the coldest weeks of winter in Farmingdale.
We know the housing stock around here. A lot of homes still run on older boiler systems—some oil, some gas, many that haven’t been serviced in years. When they break, it’s usually at the worst possible time.
Our techs are trained on the systems common to this area. We carry parts for the brands people actually have, not just the newest models. And we’re available 24/7 during heating season because boiler emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
You call or text. We ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening—no heat, strange noises, leaking water, error codes. This helps us know what to bring.
We send a licensed technician to your home, usually same-day. They’ll inspect your boiler, run diagnostics, and figure out what failed. You’ll get a clear explanation of the problem and an upfront price for the repair.
If you approve the work, we fix it right there. Most boiler repairs—like replacing a circulator pump, fixing a leaking valve, or resetting a pressure issue—take a few hours. If we need a part we don’t have on the truck, we’ll let you know when we can get it and finish the job.
Once it’s fixed, we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and safely. You’ll get a receipt, a warranty on the work, and a recommendation on whether your boiler needs maintenance to prevent this from happening again.

Boiler repair covers a lot of ground. Leaking water from a valve or fitting. No heat because the circulator pump died. Pilot light won’t stay lit. Pressure gauge reading too high or too low. Error codes flashing on the control panel.
We diagnose the actual cause, not just what you’re seeing. A boiler leaking water might be a simple valve replacement, or it could mean your heat exchanger is cracked. A boiler not heating could be a thermostat issue, a blown fuse, or a failed ignition system.
In Farmingdale, we see a lot of boilers that haven’t been maintained. That’s not a judgment—it’s just reality. But when a boiler runs for years without service, small problems turn into big ones. Sediment builds up. Parts wear out. Efficiency drops, and your heating bills climb even before the system fails.
This winter, heating costs in New Jersey are up 16% with NJ Natural Gas, and households are expected to spend close to $1,000 on heating. If your boiler is running inefficiently or breaking down repeatedly, you’re paying more for less heat. Fixing it right the first time saves you money and stress.
Most boiler repairs in Farmingdale run between $200 and $800, depending on what’s broken. A simple fix—like replacing a pressure relief valve or resetting the system—costs less. Replacing a circulator pump, fixing a gas valve, or repairing a leaking heat exchanger costs more.
Emergency repairs cost more than scheduled service. If your boiler fails at 2 a.m. on a Sunday in January, you’re paying for after-hours labor. That same repair during a weekday appointment might cost half as much.
We give you the price before we start. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs, what it includes, and how long it takes. If the repair costs more than half the price of a new boiler, we’ll tell you that too so you can make an informed decision.
The most common boiler problems we see in Farmingdale are no heat, leaking water, strange noises, and low pressure. No heat usually means a failed circulator pump, a bad thermostat, or an ignition problem. If the pilot light won’t stay lit, it’s often a dirty flame sensor or a faulty gas valve.
Leaking water can come from a dozen places—loose fittings, a cracked heat exchanger, a bad pressure relief valve, or corrosion in the system. If you see water pooling under your boiler, shut it off and call someone. A small leak can turn into a flooded basement fast.
Strange noises—banging, whistling, gurgling—usually mean sediment buildup, air in the lines, or a failing pump. Low pressure means water isn’t circulating properly, which can cause your boiler to shut down as a safety measure. Most of these problems are fixable if you catch them early.
Yes. We service gas boilers, oil boilers, steam boilers, and hot water boilers. We work on all the major brands—Weil-McLain, Peerless, Burnham, Buderus, Navien, and others.
A lot of homes in Farmingdale still have older cast-iron boilers that run on oil or natural gas. These systems are durable, but parts wear out over time. We keep common replacement parts on our trucks so we can fix most issues without waiting on an order.
If you have a newer high-efficiency boiler or a combi unit that handles both heating and hot water, we can work on those too. Our techs stay trained on the latest systems because the HVAC industry keeps changing, and we need to keep up.
Most boiler repairs take two to four hours from start to finish. That includes diagnosing the problem, getting your approval, making the repair, and testing the system to make sure it’s working safely.
Simple fixes—like replacing a thermostat, resetting the pressure, or clearing an error code—can take less than an hour. More involved repairs—like replacing a circulator pump, fixing a gas valve, or repairing a leak in the heat exchanger—take longer.
If we need a part that’s not on the truck, we’ll order it and come back to finish the job. We’ll give you a realistic timeline so you know what to expect. If your boiler is completely dead and it’s freezing outside, we’ll do everything we can to get your heat back on the same day.
Yes. We’re available 24/7 during heating season for emergency boiler repair. If your heat goes out in the middle of the night or on a weekend, you can call us and we’ll send someone out.
Emergency calls cost more than scheduled appointments because of after-hours labor rates. But when it’s 15 degrees outside and your boiler just died, waiting until Monday morning isn’t realistic. Frozen pipes can cause thousands of dollars in damage, and your family needs heat.
We’ll get there as fast as we can, figure out what’s wrong, and get your boiler running again. If it’s something we can’t fix immediately, we’ll at least get you temporary heat so you’re not stuck in a freezing house overnight.
If your boiler is less than 15 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repair it. If your boiler is over 20 years old, constantly breaking down, or the repair costs $2,000 or more, replacement makes more sense.
Older boilers are less efficient. If your heating bills keep climbing and your boiler is running constantly just to keep your house warm, you’re throwing money away every month. A new high-efficiency boiler can cut your heating costs by 20% or more, especially with energy prices up 16% this year in New Jersey.
We’ll never push you into a replacement if a repair is the smarter move. But we’ll also be honest if your boiler is on its last legs and you’re better off replacing it now instead of paying for emergency repairs every winter. You’ll get our recommendation, the cost for both options, and you decide.
