📞 (604) 359-1081Book boiler serviceA yellow or sooting flame and any soot, condensation or odd smell around the boiler are reasons to turn it off and call a licensed technician promptly — incomplete combustion can produce carbon monoxide. Make sure you have working CO alarms.
Stop using the system and call CANRO if you smell gas, see soot or signs of incomplete combustion, have water leaking near electrical parts, or the boiler keeps locking out.

Safety first — please don’t DIY this. Do not open the boiler, touch gas or electrical parts, adjust the pressure or gas valve, work on the pump, venting or safety controls, or relight anything you’re unsure about. If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, leave the home immediately, call your gas utility’s emergency line, then call us. The only safe homeowner steps are checking the thermostat is calling for heat, confirming the power switch and breaker are on, and checking the pressure gauge reading to report it to us. Anything more should wait for a licensed technician — call (604) 359-1081.

A residential boiler combines gas (or oil), high-temperature water under pressure, electrical controls and sealed combustion. Work on any of those by an untrained hand is genuinely dangerous — gas leaks, carbon monoxide, scalding and electrical shock are all real risks. In BC, gas and boiler work must be done by a TSBC-licensed technician, and doing it yourself can void your warranty and your insurance. A CANRO technician diagnoses your boiler properly, repairs it to code, and confirms it is safe before leaving. If a part is unsafe or worn, we tell you honestly.
