Boiler service calls in Edina homes
Edina's boiler work splits by neighborhood age. The 1920s and 30s houses in the Country Club District and Morningside are the ones that may still heat with a hot-water boiler and cast-iron radiators, often after the boiler has been replaced once already. Those systems need the usual care: pressure, expansion tank, relief valve, circulators and air bled from the upstairs radiators. When one wears out, the usual replacement is a condensing boiler that modulates its flame to match the radiators; because it exhausts through plastic pipe, the water heater's chimney venting has to be rechecked.
The newer houses are where hydronic heat turns up in a different form: radiant tubing under basement slabs and garage floors, sometimes on a boiler that also makes the household hot water through an indirect tank. Those systems tend to fail at the controls. A mixing valve sticks, a zone circulator quits or a zone valve won't open, and one floor goes cold while the rest of the house is fine.

Boiler service in Edina: questions
Our rebuilt Edina house has radiant floors and forced air. Who services the radiant side?
We do both. The radiant side gets its own check: boiler combustion and venting, system pressure, the expansion tank, each zone's circulator or valve, and the mixing valve that keeps floor water at the right temperature. Many of these boilers also make the house's hot water through an indirect tank, so a boiler problem can show up at the shower before the floors. Both systems can be booked on one visit.
What does replacing an older boiler in the Country Club District involve?
First we confirm the system is hot water, then size the new boiler from the radiators and the house's heat loss rather than the old nameplate. A modulating condensing boiler is the usual choice, vented through PVC, which means a new wall or roof penetration and a check of the water heater's chimney. For scale, HomeGuide gives a typical national range of $4,000–$10,000 for high-efficiency boiler replacement.
