Get matched with top boiler installation pros in Lemoore, CA

The cost to install a steam boiler varies depending on the type, fuel used, and your house size. The average cost to install a boiler is $5,900. You could spend $2,000 for a basic electrical steam boiler or up to $9,000 for a high-efficiency oil-burning steam boiler. Boiler installation is a job that’s best left for professionals to complete, and, in some states, only licensed installers can legally complete the job.

A heating expert will be able to clarify whether it's worth the cost of replacing your radiator based on the cost of repairs. Between parts and labor, you'll pay between $250 and $2,500 for a new radiator depending on the type of unit. If the long-term costs of fixing a radiator are higher than replacement, it's best to update your model.

Although baseboard heating is expensive to operate, hydronic style heaters usually aren’t as costly as other models because they maintain temperature longer than standard electric baseboard heaters. Since the liquid retains the heat longer, it prevents the thermostat from turning on and off as often, which makes it more energy efficient.

With proper maintenance, boilers last for around 15 years on average. A cast iron boiler may last longer, over 20 years, but you should always consider the efficiency of older boilers and opt to replace an old one if it’s significantly lower than newer, high-efficiency boilers. Otherwise, you’ll be spending more on your utility bills each month.
