Reviews
You wake up and the house is warm. Not “maybe by noon” warm—warm when you get out of bed. Your energy bill isn’t climbing every month because your boiler’s running efficiently instead of limping along. And when something sounds off, you’ve got a local number you can actually call.
That’s what happens after a real boiler repair. Not a patch job that buys you two weeks. Not a “let’s see if this works” experiment on your dime.
Here’s what changes: your boiler stops leaking water onto the basement floor. The pressure stays where it should. Those banging noises at 2 a.m. stop. And if you’re dealing with a frozen condensate pipe—common during Navesink winters near the Navesink River—you’re not waiting three days for someone to show up.
You’re also not burning money. A well-maintained boiler can run at 80-85% efficiency. Older systems that need repair? They’re often operating at 50-55%. That gap shows up every month on your heating bill, especially during a La Niña winter when the Northeast gets hit harder than usual.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling is a family-owned company based in Monmouth County. We’re not a franchise. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve been doing heating repair and plumbing work in Navesink and surrounding towns for over a decade.
Our technicians are New Jersey Master Plumbers who know how salt air, humidity, and cold snaps affect your system. Whether you’re near Holmdel Park or closer to the shore, we understand what breaks and why.
We don’t do bait-and-switch pricing. You’ll know what the boiler service costs before we start. And if it’s an emergency, we’re available 24/7—because a broken boiler at 9 p.m. on a Saturday is still a broken boiler.
You call or contact us online. If it’s an emergency, we dispatch a technician right away. If it’s scheduled maintenance or a non-urgent repair, we find a time that works for you.
When we arrive, we diagnose the problem. That means checking for leaks, testing water pressure, inspecting the heat exchanger, looking at the circulator pump, and running through error codes if your system has them. We’re looking for the actual issue—not just the symptom.
Once we know what’s wrong, we explain it in plain terms. You’ll get upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises, no hidden fees. If it’s a simple fix, we handle it on the spot. If parts are needed, we’ll let you know what, why, and how long.
After the repair, we test the system to make sure it’s running safely and efficiently. We’ll also let you know if there’s anything else that might need attention soon—not to upsell you, but so you’re not blindsided by another breakdown in two months.

Boiler repair covers a range of issues. Leaking water, low pressure, no heat, strange noises, pilot light problems, frozen condensate pipes, faulty thermostats, and error codes that won’t clear. We handle all of it.
In Navesink, NJ, frozen condensate pipes are especially common during winter. When temperatures drop, that pipe freezes and your boiler shuts down. It’s a quick fix if you catch it early, but it can cause bigger problems if ignored.
We also handle boiler maintenance—annual tune-ups that catch small issues before they become expensive ones. A tune-up typically costs between $69 and $89 and can extend the life of your system by years. Compare that to a full replacement, which can run several thousand dollars.
If your boiler is older than 15 years and repair costs are hitting 50% of replacement cost, we’ll have that conversation with you. Not because we want to sell you a new unit, but because it’s the smarter financial move. A high-efficiency boiler can operate at up to 98% efficiency, cutting your fuel costs nearly in half compared to an older system running at 50-55%.
We also offer financing with 0% options available, plus 10% off for military personnel and first responders. And everything we do is backed by proper licensing, insurance, and a track record of 98% customer recommendations across 45 reviews.
It depends on what’s broken. A simple fix like a faulty thermostat or a frozen condensate pipe might run a few hundred dollars. A circulator pump replacement or heat exchanger repair will cost more—potentially $500 to $1,500 depending on parts and labor.
We give you upfront pricing before we start any work. No hidden fees, no surprises after the fact. If the repair cost is approaching 50% of what a new boiler would cost and your system is over 15 years old, we’ll talk through whether replacement makes more sense financially.
Annual maintenance, on the other hand, usually costs between $69 and $89. That’s a small investment compared to emergency repairs in the middle of winter when something fails.
Leaking water is at the top of the list. It’s usually a pressure issue, a faulty seal, or corrosion. Low water pressure is another frequent problem—it can be caused by leaks, a malfunctioning pressure valve, or air in the system.
Frozen condensate pipes are especially common here during winter. When that pipe freezes, your boiler shuts down as a safety measure. It’s a straightforward fix, but it needs to be handled quickly.
You’ll also see issues with the pilot light, strange banging or whistling noises (often caused by limescale buildup or air in the pipes), and error codes that indicate sensor or ignition problems. Most of these are repairable if caught early. If ignored, they lead to bigger, more expensive failures.
Yes. Boiler breakdowns don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If your heat goes out at 11 p.m. on a Sunday or during a holiday, you can call us and we’ll get someone out to you.
Emergency service means a technician is dispatched as quickly as possible—usually within a couple of hours depending on demand and location. We serve all of Monmouth County, including Navesink, so response times are fast.
We know that losing heat in the middle of a New Jersey winter isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a safety issue, especially if you have young kids or elderly family members in the house. That’s why emergency availability is part of what we do, not an upsell.
Simple repairs—like resetting a pressure valve, thawing a frozen condensate pipe, or replacing a thermostat—can take 30 minutes to an hour. More involved repairs, like replacing a circulator pump, fixing a heat exchanger, or addressing a gas leak, can take several hours.
If we need to order a part, that adds time. We’ll let you know upfront if that’s the case and give you an estimated timeline. In most situations, we carry common parts on the truck, so same-day repairs are possible.
The goal is to get your heat back on as quickly as possible without cutting corners. Rushing through a repair just means you’ll be calling us back in a week, and nobody wants that.
If your boiler is under 10 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, fixing it usually makes sense. If it’s over 15 years old and you’re looking at a repair bill that’s half the cost of a new unit, replacement is often the smarter move.
Older boilers operate at 50-55% efficiency. A new high-efficiency model can hit 98%, which means your fuel costs could drop by nearly 50%. Over a few years, that savings adds up and offsets the replacement cost.
We’ll walk you through the math during the service call. If replacement makes sense, we’ll explain why. If repair is the better option, we’ll tell you that too. The decision is yours—we’re just here to give you the information you need to make it.
Yes. We work on gas boilers, oil boilers, electric boilers, and combination systems. Whether it’s a traditional cast iron unit or a newer high-efficiency condensing boiler, our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair it.
We also handle both residential and commercial systems. If you’re a business owner in Navesink dealing with a boiler issue, we can help with that too.
Every boiler brand has its quirks, and our team has seen most of them. We stay up to date on manufacturer specs, common failure points, and the best repair practices for each type. That means fewer guesses and faster fixes.
