Boilers

Guarding Your Comfort Since 1947

Boiler Services in Roanoke, VA

While we enjoy sunshine most of the year here in Virginia, there are still those occasional chilly mornings and evenings when a reliable heating system becomes essential. Boilers offer a powerful and efficient way to keep your home warm and comfortable throughout the winter. They work by heating water, which then circulates through your home’s radiant heating system, warming floors, walls, or baseboards to create consistent and gentle heat.

At Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, we offer a comprehensive range of boiler services in Roanoke, VA, and the surrounding areas — that includes everything from installation and maintenance to repair and emergency response. We make sure your boiler operates at peak efficiency and keeps you toasty all winter long!

These folks do a fantastic job! I had to have my complete well pump and pressure tank replaced. They made me feel like I was their number one priority. They are upfront about options and cost, did the job efficiently, and cleaned up. I highly recommend!

Well Damien, James, and Jacob were phenomenal. What a great hard working group of guys. Very polite. From the initial meeting to the explanation of the issues, options for a fix that will last since my wife and I plan on staying in this home, were explained well and educated on the units they recommended. No trash was left on site, and no foul language was used. The new system was explained well to me before they left and they made sure my wife and I were happy. Even with running new lines outside in the rain they did not do any damage to the yard that was not to be expected. Again great team there even to the office people I spoke with. All in all great communication from Davis. Highly recommended.

A+++++++ Service. Brendon arrived on site ready to go. Him and his assistant had everything they needed to install my 50amp generator hook up with the breaker interlock.

Very professional. Work was completed in a timely manner. Davis Heating, Cool, Plumbing and Electric should be proud to have these two working for them.

It didn't end there thoe. Due to the weather there utility vehicle got stuck in my driveway. With some team effort we were able to free it and get them down the road.

That's for a job well done.

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about plumbing, Michael not only took the time to ensure everything was fixed with the issues I was having, but also explained everything he was doing so I understood better! I highly recommend this company and Michael!

Not to mention he came out in this awful weather with a smile on his face!

JVN Chatham

Kevin was excellent! He walked me through different options, explaining detail by detail. The installation team was also highly professional and did an outstanding job. Not having heat in the winter is stressful. Kevin and his team took the stress out of the process going above and beyond to provide excellent service. Thanks!

Richard Millar

Exceptional plumbing service. Called ahead of arrival and said what time they would arrive. Arrived at the time suggested. Introduced themselves. Put booties on their boots. Examined the my kitchen sink and disposal area and confirmed job requirements. Explained what would be entailed in the work. Detailed the work and the compensation. James performed the work and again discussed what work they had done. Cleaned up the work area and departed all within an hour. Very polite and knowledgeable. Would definitely have James return for more plumbing work.

We had an excellent experience. It’s clear that management has instilled a real sense of ownership and accountability in their employees.

Facing an incoming snowstorm on a Saturday, we had an urgent furnace issue. Wendy answered the call and immediately took charge—she sourced the needed products and coordinated with the team to make sure our furnace was working that very day.

Her actions were a testament to her dedication, her strong relationships with the team, and the leadership culture at the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the water quality in the Roanoke area affect boiler longevity?

The mineral content in Southwest Virginia’s water can lead to “scaling” inside boiler heat exchangers. Over time, these mineral deposits act as an insulator, forcing your boiler to work harder and potentially causing the metal to overheat and crack. We recommend annual “flushing” and the installation of a magnetic dirt separator to protect your system from local sediment and ensure a 20+ year lifespan.

Can I integrate a smart thermostat like Nest or Ecobee with my older boiler system?

Yes, but many older boilers in Roanoke and Danville homes lack a “C-wire” (common wire) to power modern thermostats. During a service visit, we can install a power extender kit or a 24V transformer. Upgrading to a smart thermostat can improve boiler efficiency by up to 10-15% by utilizing “TPI” (Time Proportional & Integral) algorithms that prevent the system from overshooting your target temperature.

What is the difference between a “standard” and a “high-efficiency condensing” boiler replacement?

Standard boilers typically have an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of 80-85%. High-efficiency condensing boilers can reach 95% AFUE by capturing heat from exhaust gases that would otherwise escape through the chimney. For homeowners in the Southside VA region, switching to a condensing unit can significantly lower gas bills, though it requires specialized PVC venting and a condensate drain line.

Why is my boiler making a “banging” or “kettling” noise during winter?

“Kettling” usually occurs when water flow is restricted or when limescale has built up on the heat exchanger, causing water to steam and bubble—much like a tea kettle. In our local service area, this is often a sign of trapped air or pump failure. Ignoring these noises can lead to pressure relief valve leaks or a total system lockout during a freeze.
