Boiler installation

Dependable hydronic heat, sized and installed for your home

From traditional cast-iron to modern condensing boilers, we match equipment to your heating layout. Gas, oil, or electric options available, with a detailed estimate that covers everything before any work begins.

Gas, oil or electric
What's included

Your estimate covers equipment selection, piping, venting, and removal of the old unit

No two boiler jobs are alike. Your estimate reflects your home's layout, heating needs, and mechanical setup. Pipe retrofitting for older or corroded plumbing, boiler type (standard vs. high-efficiency condensing), fuel selection (gas, oil, or electric), and venting requirements all affect the scope and cost.

Cost depends on your setup. Most boiler installations fall between $10,000 and $25,000, with many projects averaging around $16,000. High-efficiency condensing models cost more upfront but may lower fuel use long-term.

How we do it

Matching the right boiler to your home, then installing it to last

hcp_infield_001
Equipment

We choose a boiler matched to your heating layout

Boilers are not interchangeable. A cast-iron unit that suits baseboard radiators can underperform with in-floor radiant zones, and a condensing model that lowers fuel costs long-term may need different venting than what it replaces — our specialists assess your distribution setup, zone count, and fuel access before recommending a system, weighing upfront cost against long-term fuel economy honestly.

  • Cast-iron vs. condensing: matched to your distribution type and zone count
  • Fuel access — gas, oil, or electric — weighed against long-term efficiency
  • Equipment from manufacturers proven in Connecticut's cold climate
Install and financing

Every installation is code-compliant and backed for the long term

Boiler work involves hydronic piping, fuel connections, and venting that must meet current safety codes. Our team removes the old unit, upgrades piping as needed, installs matched venting, and fully commissions the system before leaving — boilers last 15 to 30 years when maintained well, and your new unit comes with a manufacturer warranty and optional maintenance plans; financing runs 5 to 15 years since boiler installations do not qualify for Energize CT rebates.

  • Old unit removed; piping repurposed or upgraded to code
  • Manufacturer warranty included; optional maintenance plans available
  • Financing 5–15 years (boiler installs do not qualify for Energize CT rebates)
What you'll get

Reliable heat, professionally installed and backed for the long term

Clear, honest pricing No surprise costs

Boiler systems don't qualify for energy rebates, so we don't pretend otherwise. Your detailed estimate outlines every cost up front — typically $10,000 to $25,000 — before any work begins.

Precision installation Integrated with your home

We remove and dispose of the old unit, upgrade or repurpose existing piping, and bring venting to current code. Your new system integrates with your baseboards, in-floor heat, or zoned distribution.

Built to last 15–30 years of heat

Boilers are long-lived equipment. Your new unit comes with a manufacturer warranty, and our optional maintenance plans keep it running efficiently year after year.
