Step-by-Step Boiler Installation Process

Here’s what happens from consultation to completion.

1. Pre-Installation Assessment

Before any installation, we perform an on-site evaluation to understand:

• The size of your home and heating demands
  
  
• Existing boiler type and condition
  
  
• Energy efficiency goals
  
  
• Budget and fuel preferences (gas, oil, or electric)
  
  

This step ensures the new unit is properly sized and optimized for your home.

2. Choosing the Right Boiler

We’ll guide you in selecting from trusted brands and models. Key considerations include:

• Efficiency ratings (AFUE)
  
  
• Heating capacity
  
  
• Smart controls and zoning
  
  
• Warranty coverage
  
  

We help you find the best fit—whether you're replacing a system or upgrading to a high-efficiency unit.

3. Preparing for Installation Day

Before the job starts:

• We schedule a convenient time
  
  
• Clear access areas are identified
  
  
• Safety protocols are reviewed
  
  
• Your old boiler is turned off
  
  

We always follow a detailed boiler installation safety checklist to protect your property and our team.

4. Removing the Old Boiler

Our team carefully disconnects and removes the existing unit. This includes:

• Turning off water, gas, and power supplies
  
  
• Draining the boiler and safely detaching connections
  
  
• Disposing of the unit per environmental regulations (EPA guidelines)
  
  

We leave your space clean and ready for the new install.

5. Installing the New Boiler

This is the heart of the process. It includes:

• Mounting the new boiler
  
  
• Connecting to existing plumbing, gas lines, and vents
  
  
• Installing thermostats or smart controls
  
  
• Configuring any zoning or pump systems
  
  

6. Testing & Inspection

We run a full diagnostic to ensure everything is safe and functional:

• Check pressure levels and circulation
  
  
• Look for leaks or airlocks
  
  
• Test thermostats and control panels
  
  
• Perform a combustion analysis
  
  
• Confirm compliance with local plumbing codes
  
  

We walk you through the results, so you know your system is 100% ready.

7. Final Walkthrough & Education

Before we leave, we:

• Show you how to use the system
  
  
• Share maintenance tips
  
  
• Provide documentation and warranties
  
  
• Explain how to schedule future servicing
