Why does my boiler stop working in the cold?

The most common cause is a frozen condensate pipe backing water into the boiler and locking it out. We thaw and clear it and can insulate or re-route it to prevent recurrence.

Can I thaw it myself?

You can apply a warm (not boiling) cloth or warm water to a visible, reachable frozen section, then reset once. If it won’t restart or the pipe isn’t safely reachable, call us.

Frozen Condensate Pipe help for Delta homes

In a freeze, the external condensate pipe can freeze and back water up into the boiler, triggering a lockout. It’s a very common and fixable winter call.

Our licensed technicians cover every Delta neighbourhood — including Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta, Sunshine Hills, Scottsdale, Annieville — with genuine OEM parts and a workmanship guarantee.
