Ho-Ho-Kus is a small borough with a long history, and many homes near Sheridan Avenue and the Hermitage still vent their boilers through original masonry chimneys. That venting worked fine for older equipment, but it can create real problems as chimneys age or when a newer boiler is installed.
Titanium Plumbing & Heating repairs, replaces, and installs boilers throughout Ho-Ho-Kus. Licensed, bonded, and insured technicians offer same-day, weekend, and emergency service.
Boiler trouble in an older Ho-Ho-Kus home often starts with the venting. Schedule a repair visit if you notice:
Venting problems affect both comfort and safety, so they should never be ignored.
Older boilers and older chimneys create a specific set of repair needs in Ho-Ho-Kus homes.
Titanium technicians test draft and combustion on every visit to make sure exhaust is leaving the home safely.
Repairing a boiler in an older home often means looking beyond the boiler itself. Titanium checks the venting, piping, and controls together before recommending a fix.
For replacements, technicians evaluate whether the existing chimney can serve the new boiler or whether a liner or sidewall venting is the better option. Every installation includes removal of the old unit, connection to supply and venting, and a full system test. Upfront pricing and financing options are available.
Ellen’s boiler kept shutting itself off on windy nights, leaving her Ho-Ho-Kus home cold by morning. A Titanium technician found a partially blocked flue connector and a spillage switch tripping from poor draft. He cleared and resealed the connector, confirmed proper draft up the chimney, and tested the safety controls. The boiler ran steadily through the next windstorm.
