A hydronic company that also does plumbing.

Most HVAC companies install a few boilers a year and guess at the rest. Boilers are 90% of our work. Same with radiant floor heat, and same with the snow-melt systems keeping Park City driveways clear all winter.

That changes how we approach every job. Combustion analysis on every service call. Real heat-loss math before we ever quote a replacement. Hydronic loop design that accounts for altitude, glycol, mixing temperatures, and the realities of Utah's mountain climate.

The plumbing work that comes through the door — water heaters, leaks, emergencies — gets the same standard. But it's not the headline.

"Boilers, radiant heat, and snow-melt are the whole reason this company exists. We picked up that specialty 25 years ago and we never let go."
No heat? · 24/7 emergency line

When the house is cold, the cost of waiting is high.

Boilers fail in winter, usually at 11pm. A real person answers the phone after hours — including weekends and holidays — and most of the Salt Lake Valley sees us within an hour. We bring the parts. We don't make excuses.

Why hydronic specialists

Specialists outperform generalists. Always.

A boiler isn't a furnace with water. Different physics, different controls, different failure modes. Here's what that depth actually buys you on a service call.

i.

Real diagnosis

Combustion analysis on every visit. Stack temp, CO, O2, draft — measured, not assumed. Most generalists skip this step.

ii.

Brand-deep training

Weil-McLain, Lochinvar, Navien, Triangle Tube, Viessmann, Bosch, Burnham. Common parts on the truck. Single-visit fixes most of the time.

iii.

Altitude expertise

Park City, Heber, Deer Valley — boilers run differently at altitude. Derate, combustion air, glycol management. We've been doing it for 25 years.

iv.

Honest repair-vs-replace

If a fix makes sense, we fix it. If it doesn't, we tell you straight and run the replacement math openly. No upsell games.

Who we are

The hydronics team you should've called first.

A locally owned, heating-first crew. Two-plus decades on boilers, radiant heat, and snow-melt. The plumbing work that comes through the door gets the same standard.

Owner · Hydronic specialist

Derek

25+ years in hydronics and plumbing

Spent a quarter-century turning hydronic heating from a finicky specialty into something Utah homeowners can actually rely on. Boilers, radiant heat, and snow-melt are systems he's worked on every day for two decades — and the reason the company leads with them.

The crew behind the work

A trained hydronic team

Combustion-analyzer certified · Manufacturer-trained

Derek's team is hired and trained around hydronic depth — not general HVAC techs who happen to install a boiler now and then. Every truck carries a calibrated combustion analyzer. Every service call uses it. The depth on the phone matches the depth on the job site.

Financing

Spread out the cost of a new boiler, radiant install, or snow-melt system.

Qualifying installations are eligible for financing with monthly payments that often run less than the gas-bill savings. We'll walk you through the terms openly before any work begins.

Common questions

Things Utah homeowners ask first.

Quick straight answers. If your question isn't here, call — we don't gatekeep information.

Boilers, radiant heat, and snow-melt systems are roughly 90% of our work. Our owner has 25+ years specifically in hydronic heating, and our master plumber teaches the trade at Salt Lake Community College. We are not an HVAC generalist that also does boilers.
We work across the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back, including Salt Lake City, Park City, Heber City, Midway, Sandy, Draper, Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, Lehi, Provo, Bountiful, and Ogden — plus everything in between. If you're in northern Utah, call us.
All of them. We work daily on Weil-McLain, Burnham (US Boiler), Lochinvar, Navien, Triangle Tube, Viessmann, and Bosch units, plus older atmospheric, cast iron, and steam systems most generalists won't touch.
Most of the time, yes. Boiler emergencies in winter get priority scheduling. Call us and we'll tell you straight whether we can be there today, tomorrow, or what the soonest opening looks like.
Yes. Financing is available on qualifying installations including boiler replacements, radiant floor heating installs, snow-melt systems, and tankless water heaters. We'll walk you through the terms before any work begins.
Most HVAC companies do furnaces and air conditioners with boilers as a side service. We're the opposite. Hydronic systems use water, not air, to move heat — different pumps, different controls, different diagnostics. The depth matters when something is wrong, when a system needs designing from scratch, or when you're operating at 7,000ft in Park City.
