Boiler service calls in Falcon Heights homes
Gas furnaces are the norm in Falcon Heights, so boiler jobs are scattered and tend to come from the oldest layer of housing: the 1920s houses southeast of Snelling and Larpenteur and along the main roads to the north. These are usually hot-water systems with cast-iron radiators, and the service list is short and predictable: bleeding air, checking the expansion tank and relief valve, and replacing a circulator that has seized. A replacement boiler is a conversation about venting first, since a condensing unit exits in PVC and leaves the old chimney behind.
In University Grove, every house is one of a kind, so we look at what is installed before suggesting anything.

Boiler service in Falcon Heights: questions
I have radiators in Falcon Heights and want air conditioning. Do I have to give up the boiler?
No. Keep the boiler for heat and add cooling on its own. Ductless heads cool individual rooms with only a small line set through the wall, and a small-duct high-velocity system runs flexible tubing through closets and attic space without opening plaster. Either leaves the radiators working. We look at the layout and quote the option that fits in writing.
How do I know if my Falcon Heights boiler is steam or hot water?
Look at the boiler for a sight glass or a pressure gauge. A steam boiler has a glass tube showing the water level and runs at low pressure, while a hot-water boiler has a gauge reading around 12 to 15 psi cold and no sight glass. Radiators with a single pipe and a vent on the side are steam. We confirm it on the visit.
