Many homes in Lawrence, Lowell, Haverhill, and the surrounding area are heated by boilers feeding radiators or baseboard. Stardust HVAC repairs, installs, and replaces hot water and steam boilers for residential and commercial customers.
Boiler Repair
Boiler problems often show up as cold radiators, no heat in certain zones, leaking water, low or high pressure, banging pipes, or a burner that won't fire. Causes range from a failed circulator pump or zone valve to an expansion tank problem, a control failure, or an ignition issue.
We diagnose the system as a whole — the boiler, piping, zones, and controls — so the fix lasts.
Boiler Installation
A new boiler should be sized to your home's heat loss, not just matched to the old unit's rating. Many older boilers were oversized. We evaluate your home and recommend an appropriately sized boiler, with attention to venting, piping, and controls.
Boiler Replacement
When a boiler is aging, leaking, or needs costly repairs, replacement may be the more practical option. Modern boilers can offer improved efficiency and better controls. We'll walk you through the options and handle removal of the old unit.
Steam and Hot Water Systems
Steam and hot water systems work differently and need different expertise. We'll identify which you have and service it accordingly, including water level controls and venting on steam systems and pressure and air removal on hot water systems.

Boiler Repair & Installation FAQs
Why are some of my radiators cold?
Possible causes include air in the system, a failed zone valve or circulator, or a control issue. On steam systems, venting or piping pitch can be factors.
Is it normal for my boiler to leak?
No. Any leak should be checked, as it could be a relief valve, fitting, or the boiler itself.
Can I replace a boiler with a heat pump?
In some homes, heat pumps or ductless mini-splits can supplement or replace boiler heat. We can discuss options for your home.
