Has your boiler stopped starting, is your radiant floor staying cold or is a radiator leaking? Plomberie Chauffage Tremblay offers a 24/7 emergency heating repair service for homes and businesses in the Eastern Townships, on Montreal’s South Shore and in Montreal. Our technicians diagnose the problem on site and restore your heat as quickly as possible.

The most common heating breakdowns

We work on all hydronic (hot water) and gas heating systems:

  • Electric or gas boiler that won’t start: faulty heating element, burner, ignition, controls or power supply.
  • Cold radiant floor or uneven heat: circulation pump, zone valve, air in the loop or thermostat.
  • Water or glycol leak: damaged fitting, valve, piping or heat exchanger.
  • Radiator not heating: air to bleed, stuck valve or circulation problem.
  • Abnormal pressure or noises (banging, whistling) in the system.
  • Gas smell: leave the premises and call your gas provider or 911 first, then contact us for the repair.

What to do while waiting for the technician

  1. Check the thermostat (mode, set temperature, batteries).
  2. Check the boiler’s breaker in the electrical panel.
  3. Write down the error code or indicator lights shown on the unit.
  4. If there’s a leak, shut off the system’s water supply if you know how, and cut power to the boiler.
  5. If it’s getting cold, open the cabinet doors under the sinks to reduce the risk of frozen pipes.

This information helps us arrive with the right parts.

A clear diagnosis, a lasting repair

With more than 15 years of experience in hydronic heating, our team doesn’t just fix the symptom. We explain the cause of the breakdown and your options: an immediate repair, a part replacement or, if your equipment is reaching the end of its life, replacing your electric boiler or natural gas boiler. You make an informed decision.

FAQ

Is your emergency heating service really available at night and on weekends?

Yes, our emergency heating repair service is available 24/7, including statutory holidays. Exceptions may apply.

Which heating systems do you repair in an emergency?

We repair electric and natural gas boilers, hydronic radiant floors, radiators, heating piping and hydronic snow melting systems, for both residential and commercial clients.

My radiant floor isn’t heating anymore. Is it an emergency?

If the whole house is getting cold, yes: call us. If only one zone is affected, the problem often comes from a zone valve, a pump or a thermostat, and the repair can be scheduled quickly.

Which cities do you serve for emergencies?

The Eastern Townships, Montreal’s South Shore (Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville, Chambly and surrounding areas) and Montreal.

Should I repair or replace my boiler?

It depends on the unit’s age, the cost of the repair and how often it breaks down. After the diagnosis, our technician presents both options.
