Boiler Service Shelby Township MI | Koz Heating & Cooling
Providing Boiler Repair and Replacement Services in Shelby Township Since 2012
With a functioning boiler, it’s easy staying warm in Michigan’s winter months. But when your boiler acts up, a few blankets and a pair of slippers might not be enough to ward off the cold. With over 11 years of experience maintaining hydronic heating systems, Koz Heating & Cooling has established itself as a trusted HVAC company in the Shelby Township area. In that time, we’ve developed a true understanding of boiler systems and how to properly maintain, replace, and repair them.
How Do Boilers Work?
It can help to think of boilers as a unique type of water heater. While conventional heating systems disperse heat using air, boilers use hot water and pipes. While this heated liquid flows through your home, it distributes heat through your radiators and other linked devices. Now cooled, the water returns to the boiler’s tank to be reheated and start the cycle over. You may also hear this subset of HVAC systems referred to as water-based or hydronic. In most homes, natural gas is used to power the boiler’s heating elements. A simple step-by-step list of boiler operations is below:
- The home’s thermostat tells your boiler it's time to turn on
- Your boiler's heating element heats water in its tank
- After the water reaches a specified temperature or turns into steam, the next stage begins
- The boiler pushes the steam or water through your radiators or baseboard radiant elements
- The water returns to the boiler to be reheated
- The thermostat detects when your home reaches the desired temperature and shuts off the boiler
What to Look for in a Boiler Contractor
Your hydronic heating system represents a substantial investment and is a key part of comfortable living. Hiring a reputable HVAC expert to repair, install, or maintain it is the best thing you can do to protect your money and your home. But there are a lot of boiler experts in Macomb Township and the surrounding areas. Which one do you choose? How can you tell which is worth the investment? Here are five things you should look for in a boiler contractor:
- Current Insurance and Licensing: Michigan has its own requirements for HVAC contractors, and you need to hire someone who meets them. The easiest sign someone is authorized to work on your boiler in Shelby Township is a current license number. Check their website to see if it's provided. If not, call and ask for the number. If they can’t provide it, go elsewhere.
- Comprehensive Insurance: What happens if your contractor injures himself or herself while in your home? If they damage your property by puncturing your boiler's tank or causing a leak, what steps will they take to correct it? Verify they carry insurance and also have bonded technicians.
- Glowing Reviews: Check out their online review profiles. What do former customers say about them? Has anyone you know in Shelby Township worked with them before? If so, ask if they'd recommend them. Also, look to see how they respond to any negative reviews, since occasional issues or misunderstandings happen with even the best contractors. If not handled professionally, you'd likely be better off going elsewhere.
- Experience and Expertise: When it comes to boiler service in Shelby Township, expertise and experience should be at the top of your list of wants and needs. Ask how many years of experience they require their HVAC technicians to have. Make sure that the company has a proven history of providing customers with expert boiler repair and installation.
- Warranties and Guarantees: Sometimes things go wrong with new hydronic systems. Or a repair doesn’t hold. In these circumstances, you want to ensure you have a company who's got your back. When analyzing your choices, inquire about the guarantees and warranties they hold. At minimum, your satisfaction should be acknowledged.
- Special Offers and Rebates: Different companies offer different deals. Visit their website and take a look at their special offers page. Also, ask if they help submit you for any rebates in Michigan for efficiency when you install a new boiler. Rest easy in knowing that at Koz Heating & Cooling, we are always happy to help.

Boiler FAQs
How Often Does My Boiler Need Service?
We recommend having your boiler serviced on a yearly basis. This will ensure it operates at maximum efficiency through the cold times and into milder weather. By getting it regularly serviced, you can help yourself to avoid future boiler repairs. You can learn more about the benefits of HVAC maintenance in Shelby Township and Macomb Township by reaching out to us by phone or through our website.
Can My Boiler Heat My Water, Too?
Though not possible in the past, newer “combi” boilers allow you to use the water in your boiler for bathing and cooking as well. This eliminates the need for a separate water heater, saving you space and boosting home efficiency.
What Do I Do if My Boiler Starts Leaking?
If your boiler is leaking, don’t panic. You can limit the damage by taking the following steps:
- Turn off the boiler’s power and shut the main water valve to prevent further damage
- Mop or lay down towels to soak up the water
- Try to find the source of the leak. Typically, it comes from the boiler tank, discharge tube, or drain valve
- Call Koz Heating & Cooling to schedule a boiler technician for repair
Will a New Boiler be Quieter?
This depends on numerous factors. Very old boilers are typically very loud. While those made in the last 15 to 20 years, tend to be quieter than even the newest ones. This is because internal components in new systems, used to enhance efficiency, produce low levels of noise during use. Even if this additional sound is annoying, your new system’s lower operation cost will more than make up for it.
Can I Use My Boiler to Cool my Home as Well?
While radiators can be used to cool homes, boilers cannot provide the cold water necessary to do so. Using a water chiller to produce a cooling effect can lead to humidity, corrosion, and condensation issues. For people with boilers looking for a way to beat Shelby Township’s summer heat, ductless AC is often the best option.
