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. Anything involving gas, pressure, the pump, valves, venting or internal controls needs a licensed technician. Call (604) 359-1081 or book online — same-day diagnostics when our schedule allows.
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.
Our technicians are familiar with every major residential boiler brand, including the three we’re asked about most:
We service these brands — we make no “authorized” or “official service centre” claims. What we offer is genuine experience, licensed gas and boiler technicians, and honest pricing.
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.

Most residential systems sit around 1–1.5 bar cold and a little higher when hot. Consistently above ~2.5–3 bar (in the red) means a fault to investigate.
Usually a waterlogged expansion tank or a valve feeding in extra water. Both need a technician — the expansion tank in particular is a common, fixable cause.
The relief valve protects the system, but persistent high pressure stresses components and shortens boiler life. Have it diagnosed rather than ignored.
