Schedule OnlineThe Benefits of Installing a Boiler
Although boilers aren’t as common in more modern homes, many older houses use them for heating. Whether you’re interested in installing your first boiler or replacing an aging system, a boiler can offer many benefits for your home:
- Durability: Since boilers have few moving parts, they’re incredibly durable and aren’t prone to breaking down.
- Reliability: If your boiler is kept well-maintained, it can last for decades. That means you can enjoy year after year of reliable, consistent heating for your home.
- Cleanliness: Boilers provide clean, dust-free heating, which is perfect for anyone in your family who has allergies.
- Ease of installation: Since a boiler doesn’t require ductwork, it can be installed with little to no complex remodeling — which isn’t the case if you decide to retrofit a furnace or heat pump.
Signs You Need a New Boiler
As much as we would like our heaters to last forever, this isn't the case. When it's time to install a new boiler, your current system will start to show signs that a replacement is due. Keep an eye out for the following indicators that you need a boiler replacement:
- Insufficient heat: If your unit suddenly can’t produce sufficient heat to keep your home comfortable, it’s probably time to replace your aging boiler.
- Uneven temperatures: If your boiler can’t maintain consistent temperatures from one level of the home to the next, or even from one room to the next, then it's time to have a new boiler installed.
- Strange noises: If there are strange noises coming from your radiator or boiler, this needs to be inspected by an HVAC professional. We can help you determine the best way to solve your problem, whether it’s repair or replacement.
- Age: Most boilers last between 15 and 25 years, depending on the quality of their installation and the maintenance they received. Once your boiler is in that range, it will naturally start to deteriorate, making a boiler replacement a cost-effective choice.

Boilers use heated or boiling water, at which point the steam or hot water is circulated to radiators, baseboards, or radiant floor systems throughout the home. Conversely, furnaces use hot air that’s heated within the furnace and circulated via ductwork.
Some combination boilers are designed to provide water for heating and other purposes. “Combi” boilers are a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution that will deliver exceptional performance and long-term cost savings.
As with furnaces and heat pumps, selecting the proper size for your home is important. If it’s too small, your system will struggle to deliver the comfort you desire. If it’s too large, you’ll waste energy.
There are a few signs that your boiler needs to be replaced. If your system is older than 15, requires frequent repairs, or has reduced heating efficiency, it may be time to upgrade to a high-efficiency model.
With proper maintenance, your boiler can outlast a typical 15-to-20-year life expectancy and help you save money on costly repairs. However, investing in a new unit once your boiler is 15+ years old can be more cost-effective since it could offer efficiency improvements that older systems don’t have.
We strongly advise against DIY boiler installation or repairs. It’s always best to hire a professional to install a new system or diagnose and repair any issue with your boiler system.
This is the best way to ensure any problem is correctly diagnosed and the repair is properly applied and tested.
