Hydronic heat specialists for Berks County's older housing stock
Contact Us (610) 780-9350Hydronic Heat, Handled Properly
Plenty of homes around Fleetwood, Reading, Hamburg, and Kutztown were built long before forced air was the default, and they still heat with water. Boilers behave nothing like furnaces: pressure, circulation, air in the loop, and the condition of the radiators or baseboard all affect whether a house feels evenly warm. Diagnosing that takes a technician who works on hydronic systems regularly.
Art Smith And Son services and replaces gas, oil, and hydronic boilers across Berks County, and installs Weil-McLain equipment on replacements. Whether you have a cast iron unit that has run for decades or a modern condensing boiler, start with the page that matches your situation.

Our Boiler Services
Service and maintenance on the system you have, or a full replacement.
Boiler Repair & Maintenance
Pressure that keeps dropping, radiators that stay cold, a system slow to bring the house up to temperature, circulator or zone valve failures, and no-heat calls. We also cover the annual service: combustion check, controls, expansion tank, low-water cutoff, and the carbon monoxide safety inspection that any fuel-burning appliance deserves.
Boiler Repair & MaintenanceBoiler Installation & Replacement
Replacing an aging boiler without ripping out the rest of the system. We size the new unit to the actual heat loss of the house, keep your existing radiators or baseboard where they are in good condition, and explain the trade-offs between cast iron and high-efficiency condensing equipment. Weil-McLain is our primary boiler line.
Boiler Installation & ReplacementWhy Boiler Problems Look Different
A furnace either makes heat or it does not. A boiler can be running perfectly and still leave half the house cold, because the fault sits in the distribution rather than the appliance. Air trapped in a loop, a seized circulator, a stuck zone valve, sediment in old cast iron, or a pressure-reducing valve that has quietly failed all produce the same complaint from the thermostat.
That is why we look at the whole loop rather than just the boiler cabinet. It is also why an annual service is worth more on hydronic heat than most people expect: small pressure and circulation problems are cheap to correct early and expensive to ignore.
Adding Cooling to a Boiler-Heated Home
Boiler heat and air conditioning are separate systems, so a house with radiators has no ductwork to cool through. There are still good options.
- Ductless mini-splits add cooling room by room without opening walls for duct runs
- Central air conditioning where there is space to run a new duct system
- Tankless water heating when replacing a boiler that also made your domestic hot water
- PA rebates and tax credits that may apply to qualifying upgrades
Ask about cooling while we are quoting the boiler. Planning both at once is usually simpler and cheaper than doing them years apart.

FAQ: Boiler Service in Berks County
Q: What is the practical difference between a boiler and a furnace?
A: A furnace heats air and blows it through ducts. A boiler heats water and circulates it through radiators, baseboard, or in-floor tubing, so the heat feels steady and even rather than arriving in gusts. The two need different diagnostics, different parts, and different maintenance, which is why we treat them as separate services.
Q: Do you work on oil-fired boilers as well as gas?
A: Yes. We install, replace, and service gas, oil, and hydronic boilers throughout Fleetwood and the surrounding area, including older cast iron units. Cast iron and oil-fired boilers are still a sensible fit for many Berks County homes that already have the infrastructure for them.
Q: One room stays cold while the rest of the house is warm. Is that the boiler?
A: Usually not the boiler itself. Uneven heat on a hydronic system points at the distribution side: air trapped in a loop, a stuck zone valve, a failing circulator, or a radiator that needs bleeding. We check the whole loop rather than only the appliance, because replacing a boiler will not fix a circulation problem.
Q: Does my boiler also make the household hot water?
A: Some do. A boiler can produce domestic hot water through an indirect tank or a coil, and others only handle space heating while a separate water heater does the rest. It matters for replacement planning, so tell us which setup you have when you call. If yours makes hot water, we will cover whether to keep that arrangement or move to a separate tank or tankless unit.
