Burnham Boiler Repair in Vancouver
Red Seal–certified Burnham boiler repair for Vancouver homes and buildings. We diagnose control lockout codes on Alpine/K2; no codes on older cast-iron units and get your heat and hot water back — same-day, often within 2 hours.
Burnham boilers — One of the oldest names in North American heating — thousands of Burnhams still run BC basements, and we keep both eras running. If yours is showing a fault in Vancouver, our Red Seal Gas Fitter–certified technicians service Series 2 and ES2 cast-iron boilers plus Alpine and K2 condensing lines (up to 95% AFUE) across the Vancouver area.
Vancouver's older West Side and East Side homes often have legacy cast-iron boilers and original mid-century hydronic systems. We service both heritage installations and modern condensing combi retrofits across all neighbourhoods.

Common Burnham Faults We Repair in Vancouver
Burnham reports problems through control lockout codes on Alpine/K2; no codes on older cast-iron units. These are the faults our technicians diagnose most often on Vancouver service calls:
- Pilot / Thermocouple Failure (cast iron)
The classic old-iron no-heat — among the fastest and cheapest emergency fixes in the trade.
- Ignition Lockout (Alpine/K2)
Electrode wear, gas-supply or valve faults preventing light-off on the condensing lines, logged by the control.
- Low-Water Cutoff Trips
LWCO trips on real low water or sensor fouling — diagnosed before any reset.
- Condensate Faults (Alpine/K2)
Blocked or frozen condensate shutting down condensing operation in cold weather.
- Circulator & Zone Failures
Seized pumps and stuck zone valves leaving rooms cold while the boiler fires normally.
