Hot water heating control

Zone Valve Replacement

In a hot water heating system, zone valves decide which part of the house gets heat. When one sticks, you get a room that stays cold while the rest is warm, or a zone that will not stop heating. We test the valves at the boiler, find the one that has failed, and replace it.

Signs a Zone Valve Has Failed

A stuck valve shows up as heat in the wrong place, or no heat where you want it.

One cold room

A zone that stays cold while the rest of the house heats up normally.

Heat that will not stop

A zone that keeps warming even after the thermostat is satisfied.

A buzz or hum

A steady buzzing from the valve body near the boiler when a zone calls for heat.

No flow on a call

The thermostat clicks on but you never hear or feel that zone start to warm.

Test the Zones, Replace the One That Stuck

We start at the boiler, where the zone valves sit on the pipes that feed each part of the house. We watch what happens when each thermostat calls for heat, and check whether the valve opens, the motor runs, and water flows through that zone.

When we find the valve that has stuck or burned out, we isolate that section, replace the valve or its motor head, and confirm the zone heats and shuts off the way it should. You get the price before we swap anything.

When to Replace a Zone Valve

If part of the house has stopped following the thermostat, the valve is a likely cause.

One zone stays cold while the others heat fine
A zone keeps heating after the thermostat is happy
You hear a buzz or hum from a valve at the boiler
A thermostat calls for heat but nothing happens in that room
Your hot water heating has uneven warmth room to room
A valve has leaked or dripped near the boiler
