Nevco HVAC & Plumbing | Reliable Service for Hillsboro Homeowners

Absolutely. For homes with boilers or hydronic heating systems, a thorough plumbing inspection by Nevco can identify issues like poor water quality, corrosion, or leaks that strain the entire system. Addressing these plumbing concerns proactively can prevent undue stress on aging HVAC components, including the heat exchanger, helping to extend the life of your equipment and improve safety.

Key signs include a strange, chemical-like odor (similar to formaldehyde), soot around the furnace, visible cracks on the burner flames, or excessive moisture on windows. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety hazard as it can leak carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless gas—into your home. Given the prevalence of aging HVAC systems in our area, we recommend annual inspections to catch this issue early.

We take a comprehensive, whole-home approach. Starting with a detailed inspection of your plumbing and HVAC systems, we look for interconnected issues that could lead to failures. For older systems, our goal is to provide honest assessments and practical solutions—whether that's a cost-effective repair to ensure safe operation or guidance on a necessary replacement—so you can make informed decisions for your home's comfort and safety.
