A a combination (combi) boiler is one of the most common boiler leak complaints HeatLand sees across Metro Vancouver. Here is what causes it, what it means, and how we fix it – honestly.
If you see fast water loss, smell gas, or notice unusual sounds with the leak, shut off the boiler and the water supply to it immediately, then call HeatLand at (604) 330-3812. Never leave a leaking boiler running unattended.
What causes this leak
A combi boiler heats both your home and domestic hot water from one unit. Leaks can come from the domestic hot water plate heat exchanger, the central heating circuit, the filling loop, or internal seals.
How HeatLand diagnoses and repairs it
We identify which circuit the leak is on (heating or domestic hot water), test the plate heat exchanger, inspect all seals and connections, and repair the specific fault. Combi boiler leaks are often repairable if caught early.
Why it matters
Combi boilers have more internal components than conventional boilers, so a leak can have multiple possible sources. We diagnose carefully before recommending any repair.
Repair or replace?
If the leak source is a component (valve, pump, tank, fitting), repair is usually straightforward. If the boiler body or heat exchanger is leaking, replacement is typically the safer path. We advise honestly and check your rebate eligibility if replacement is needed.
