Boiler Replacement
When repairs become frequent and fuel bills keep climbing, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. We handle the full swap — removal, disposal, and installation — with minimal disruption.
A boiler nearing 15-20 years old often loses efficiency well before it fails outright, and repair parts for older models become harder to source. Replacement lets us correct sizing mistakes made decades ago and add modern safety controls at the same time.
We remove and responsibly dispose of the old unit, protect your mechanical room and access path throughout the job, and commission the new system with a full combustion and safety test before we leave.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Boiler Replacement
Boiler is 15+ years old and repairs are becoming frequent
Rising heating bills despite no change in usage
Visible rust, cracking, or corrosion on the boiler shell
Carbon monoxide detector has ever alarmed near the unit
Parts for your model are discontinued or hard to source
Common Causes
What Usually Causes This
Realistic explanations, not a diagnosis of your specific property — an on-site visit confirms the actual cause.
- Heat exchanger cracking or corrosion that develops gradually as cast-iron or steel sections age
- Repeated ignition or control failures on a unit where replacement parts are becoming harder to source
- Original oversizing or undersizing from decades-old installation practices, so the unit short-cycles or never runs efficiently
- General efficiency loss from age-related wear in burners and heat exchangers, even without an outright failure
- Chronic pilot or ignition problems on older standing-pilot systems that modern electronic ignition doesn't have
Our Process
How It Works
On-site evaluation
We assess the existing system, piping, and venting to plan the swap.
Removal & disposal
The old boiler is safely disconnected, removed, and disposed of properly.
New system installation
The replacement boiler is installed, piped, and vented to current code.
Safety & performance testing
Combustion analysis and pressure testing confirm safe, efficient operation.
Pricing Guidance
Typical Cost Factors
Boiler replacement costs depend heavily on system type, sizing, and what's involved in removing the old unit, so pricing follows an on-site assessment rather than a flat rate. The factors that typically shape a replacement estimate:
Final pricing is confirmed after an on-site evaluation of your existing system, piping, and access.
NYC Considerations
What's Different About NYC Housing
- Many brownstone and rowhouse basements were never designed around modern boiler dimensions, so a replacement sometimes requires disassembling the old unit in place to get it out
- Steam-to-hot-water conversions are technically possible but involve replacing radiators and piping, not just the boiler — most NYC replacements stay within the same system type
- Co-op and condo buildings often require board approval and advance notice before mechanical room work, especially anything affecting a shared system
- Older buildings may have gas lines sized for a smaller original unit, which can require utility coordination if the replacement has higher BTU demand
- Any gas line, venting, or permit-required portion of the swap is coordinated through our licensed partner network
