How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality boiler repair results from start to finish.
KIC Refrigeration starts every boiler repair in Hondo, TX with a thorough safety and operational inspection. We verify that the pressure relief valve releases at its rated pressure, the low-water cutoff shuts the burner down when water level drops, and the high-limit control prevents overheating. Safety is always the first step.
At your Hondo property, our technician tests combustion efficiency with a calibrated analyzer. We measure CO parts per million, oxygen percentage in the flue, stack temperature, and calculate combustion efficiency. Readings outside manufacturer specs point directly to the failed component.
We replace the failed component — circulator pump, expansion tank, zone valve, aquastat, gas valve, ignitor, or heat exchanger section — using parts rated for your boiler make, model, and BTU capacity.
KIC Refrigeration verifies every boiler repair in Hondo, TX by running a complete system test. We confirm operating pressure is stable, all zones circulate properly, combustion readings are within specification, and every safety control responds correctly. We document all final readings for your records.

Boiler repair in Hondo typically costs $200 to $700 for common component failures like thermocouples, aquastats, zone valves, circulator pumps, and expansion tanks. Ignition control module or gas valve replacement runs $300 to $800 depending on the boiler manufacturer. Heat exchanger replacement is the most expensive repair at $1,500 to $4,000, varying by boiler type — cast iron sectional, copper fin tube, or stainless steel condensing — and BTU input rating. KIC Refrigeration provides a detailed written estimate with itemized parts and labor costs before beginning any boiler repair at your Hondo property so you can make an informed decision.
Most boiler repairs in Hondo take 1 to 3 hours during a single service visit. Circulator pump and zone valve replacements are typically completed in 1.5 to 2 hours including system draining and refilling. Aquastat and control board replacements take 1 to 2 hours. Gas valve replacement takes 1 to 2 hours plus a combustion analysis to verify proper operation. Heat exchanger replacement is the most time-intensive job at 4 to 8 hours depending on whether the boiler has cast iron sections or a sealed stainless steel exchanger. KIC Refrigeration provides an accurate time estimate before starting work at your Hondo property so you can plan accordingly.
Boiler pressure loss indicates a leak somewhere in the sealed system. The most common causes are a failed expansion tank bladder that allows air into the system, leaking zone valve packings, corroded pipe fittings or baseboard connections, a weeping pressure relief valve, or a pinhole leak in the heat exchanger itself. A healthy hydronic system holds 12 to 18 PSI when cold and rises to 18 to 25 PSI at operating temperature. If the pressure gauge drops below 10 PSI, the low-water cutoff should shut the burner down to prevent damage. KIC Refrigeration pressure-tests the system, inspects all fittings and valves, and locates the leak at your Hondo home so we can repair it permanently.

A failed boiler in cold weather is a serious emergency — indoor temperatures can drop rapidly, putting water pipes at risk of freezing and bursting within hours. Frozen pipes cause thousands of dollars in water damage when they thaw. Our emergency crews are dispatched with the most commonly needed boiler parts — igniters, thermocouples, circulator pumps, zone valves, and control modules — to restore heat at your Hondo property as quickly as possible. Call our emergency line and we will have a technician on the way immediately.
