KIC Refrigeration starts every boiler repair in Essex, CT with a thorough safety and operational inspection.

Safety is always the first step.
At your Essex property, our technician tests combustion efficiency with a calibrated analyzer. We measure CO parts per million, oxygen percentage in the flue, stack temperature, and calculate combustion efficiency. Readings outside manufacturer specs point directly to the failed component.
We replace the failed component — circulator pump, expansion tank, zone valve, aquastat, gas valve, ignitor, or heat exchanger section — using parts rated for your boiler make, model, and BTU capacity.
