Low-Water Cutoff Service in Severn, MD

The low-water cutoff shuts the burner off if water in the boiler drops too low. Firing a dry boiler can crack it, so this safety device needs to work every time.

There are two common types. Float type cutoffs on steam boilers need regular blowdown: you open the drain on the cutoff while the boiler runs to flush sediment out of the float chamber. Probe type cutoffs need the probe pulled and cleaned, since scale on the probe can fool it.

On hot water systems, a low-water cutoff often appears where the boiler sits above the radiation, and it trips when a leak or an air pocket drops the level.

Reliable Boiler Service connects Severn, MD homeowners with technicians who test the cutoff by lowering the water and watching the burner stop, clean or replace probes and floats, and show you how to do the blowdown yourself.

Call Reliable Boiler Service at (866) 456-6311 for low-water cutoff service.

Low-Water Cutoff Service FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Low-Water Cutoff Service

Questions we hear most often about Low-Water Cutoff Service in Severn, MD.

Talk to a real person
What pressure should my boiler run at in Severn, MD?
Most residential hot water boilers sit around 12 to 15 psi when cold and stay under 30 psi when hot. Steam boilers are different and run at a fraction of a pound.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
Repair makes sense for parts like igniters, circulators and zone valves. A cracked section, a leaking heat exchanger or a boiler where parts are no longer made usually points to replacement.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally before the heating season. Steam boilers with a float type low-water cutoff also need regular blowdown through the winter.
My boiler is running but the house is cold. What should I check?
Look at the pressure gauge, listen for the circulator pump, and feel the pipes leaving the boiler. Hot boiler with cold pipes usually means a pump or zone valve problem.
What should I do if my boiler is leaking?
Turn the boiler off, close the fill valve if water keeps spreading, and call (866) 456-6311. Note where the water is coming from, since that decides between a repair and a replacement.
