Reliable Boiler Solutions for Your Home and Business

When temperatures drop across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, a dependable heating system becomes essential for comfort and safety. At Lansing Heating & Air Conditioning Inc., we have been helping homeowners and businesses stay warm since our founding in 1971. Boilers remain one of the most efficient and reliable methods of heating residential and commercial properties, and our team brings decades of hands-on experience to every installation, repair, and maintenance project. Whether you are considering a new boiler system or need expert service on your existing unit, we are committed to delivering solutions that keep your space comfortable year-round.

Boiler systems work by heating water and distributing either hot water or steam through a network of pipes to radiators, baseboard heaters, or radiant floor systems throughout a building. Unlike forced-air systems that blow heated air through ductwork, boilers provide consistent, even warmth without the drafts, dust circulation, or noise often associated with traditional furnaces. This makes them particularly attractive for households with allergy concerns and for older homes that were originally designed with radiator heating in mind.

Types of Boilers We Install and Service

Modern boiler technology has advanced significantly, offering homeowners and businesses a range of options to match their specific needs and budgets. We service all HVAC makes and models, which means no matter what type of boiler you currently have or are considering, our technicians can help. As a Carrier Dealer for over 30 years and a Factory Authorized Dealer ever since the program’s inception in 2003, we have access to top-tier equipment and manufacturer training that ensures every job meets the highest standards of quality.

The most common boiler types we work with include gas-fired, oil-fired, and electric models. High-efficiency condensing boilers have become increasingly popular in recent years, achieving Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency ratings of 90% or higher by capturing heat from exhaust gases that traditional boilers would waste. Standard non-condensing boilers typically operate between 80% and 85% efficiency. For many homeowners in Lansing, St. John, Crown Point, Schererville, Cedar Lake, Dyer, Hobart, Munster and Griffith IN, upgrading to a condensing boiler can result in meaningful energy savings over the life of the system, often reducing monthly heating costs by 10% to 30% depending on the age and condition of the unit being replaced.

Boiler Installation Process

Installing a boiler is a complex process that requires careful planning, precise sizing, and expert craftsmanship. Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your property, including square footage calculations, insulation assessment, window and door inventory, and an analysis of your current heating distribution system. Proper sizing is critical because an oversized boiler will cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and increasing wear, while an undersized unit will struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures during extreme cold.

Once we determine the ideal system for your needs, our licensed technicians handle every aspect of the installation, from removing the old equipment to connecting gas lines, water supply, venting, and electrical components. We perform comprehensive safety testing and system balancing before considering any job complete. Our mission statement is “Let our family take care of your family,” and that philosophy drives us to treat every installation as if it were in our own home.

Boiler Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance is essential to keeping your boiler running safely and efficiently. Industry data from the Department of Energy indicates that well-maintained boilers can operate effectively for 15 to 30 years, significantly outlasting many other heating systems. Our maintenance services are designed to maximize that lifespan while preventing costly emergency breakdowns. Residents across Lansing, St. John, Crown Point, Schererville, Cedar Lake, Dyer, Hobart, Munster and Griffith IN trust us to keep their systems in peak condition throughout the heating season and beyond.

During a standard boiler maintenance visit, our technicians perform a comprehensive inspection that covers all critical components. Here is what a typical service appointment includes:

• Combustion analysis to verify the system is burning fuel safely and efficiently
• Heat exchanger inspection for cracks, corrosion, or signs of deterioration
• Pressure and temperature checks to confirm the system operates within safe parameters
• Safety valve and control testing to ensure all protective mechanisms function properly
• Water quality assessment to identify mineral buildup or sediment that can reduce efficiency
• Flue and venting inspection to detect blockages or carbon monoxide risks

When repairs are necessary, our technicians diagnose the issue quickly and accurately. Common boiler problems include kettling noises caused by limescale buildup, pressure drops from leaking valves, faulty thermostats, and circulator pump failures. Because we service all makes and models, we carry a wide inventory of parts and can often complete repairs in a single visit. If a repair is not cost-effective due to the age or condition of the unit, we provide honest guidance about replacement options so you can make an informed decision for your family and your budget.
