Boiler Replacement & Upgrade

Standard boilers operate at 80-85% efficiency. High-efficiency condensing boilers achieve 90-97% efficiency by capturing heat from exhaust gases, significantly reducing fuel costs.

Most boiler replacements are completed in 1-2 days. Complex installations with zone modifications may take longer.

Yes, if natural gas service is available at your property. Converting from oil to gas eliminates the need for fuel deliveries and removes the oil tank from your basement or yard. The switch involves running a gas service line and installing a new gas boiler. Many homeowners make this upgrade when their oil boiler reaches the end of its life.

Boiler sizing depends on your home's heat loss, which is calculated based on square footage, insulation levels, window quality, and climate zone. An oversized boiler wastes fuel by short cycling, while an undersized unit struggles to keep up on cold days. We perform a proper heat loss calculation to recommend the right size for your home.

Planning ahead gives you time to research options, get multiple quotes, and schedule the work at your convenience rather than during the busiest part of heating season. If your boiler is over 15 years old and showing signs of wear, proactive replacement often makes more sense than waiting for a breakdown.

In most cases, yes. Modern boilers are designed to work with existing hydronic distribution systems. We may recommend flushing the system to remove sediment and ensure optimal performance with your new equipment. If you have very old cast iron radiators, they will continue to work well with a new boiler.

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency and measures what percentage of fuel is converted to usable heat. A boiler with 95% AFUE converts 95 cents of every dollar spent on fuel into heat, with only 5 cents going up the flue. Higher AFUE means lower fuel bills, which adds up significantly over the life of the equipment.

Yes, boiler removal and disposal are included in our replacement service. We disconnect the old unit, drain the system if needed, and haul away the old equipment. We handle everything so you do not have to worry about the logistics of getting rid of a heavy, bulky boiler.
