Lochinvar boiler faults common in Coquitlam

Coquitlam's cool, wet winters keep boilers working hard, and the faults we most often trace include ignition and flame-sensing problems, circulator pumps that no longer move water properly, low system pressure from a leak or failing fill valve, blocked condensate traps, and sensor or control-board faults that trigger a lockout. Hillside homes on Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain sometimes run longer heating hours than the valley floor, which can accelerate wear on pumps and burner components.

Our technicians read the boiler's diagnostics, then verify combustion and water-side behaviour on site so the repair targets the real problem rather than a symptom.

• Ignition, flame-sensing, and lockout faults
• Circulator-pump failures and low-pressure issues
• Condensate blockages and control-board or sensor faults

Safe homeowner checks first

Before calling, a Coquitlam homeowner can safely confirm the thermostat is set to heat and above room temperature, reset a single tripped breaker once, and make sure outdoor vent terminations are clear of leaves, snow, or debris, which matters on exposed hillside lots. If you see a low-pressure warning, note it rather than repeatedly refilling, since that can hide a leak.

Leave the gas valve, burner, flue, wiring, and heat exchanger to a licensed technician. If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, leave the home and call the gas utility's emergency line first, then reach out to us.

• Check thermostat and reset one tripped breaker
• Clear outdoor vent terminations, especially on exposed hillside lots
• Gas smell or carbon-monoxide concern: leave and call the gas utility first

Frequently Asked Questions

My Lochinvar boiler keeps locking out. Why?

Repeated lockouts usually mean the boiler's safety logic is detecting a problem, such as a flame-sensing fault, ignition issue, or low pressure. Note any error code and contact us so our technicians can confirm the cause rather than simply resetting it repeatedly.

Should I repair or replace my Coquitlam boiler?

If the boiler is reasonably young and the fault is a serviceable part, repair is usually best. If it is older with a major failure like the heat exchanger, replacement may be more sensible. We lay out both options clearly for your home.

Why is my boiler losing pressure?

Ongoing pressure loss points to a small leak, an expansion-tank issue, or a failing relief or fill valve. We find where the water is going instead of just topping it up, because constant refilling can mask a developing problem.

Can I run the boiler while waiting for the repair?

If it has locked out or is acting abnormally, it is safest to leave it off until we have inspected it, particularly with a combustion or pressure fault. If you notice a gas odour, leave the home and call the gas utility's emergency line first.
