"CAWIAMCA did an outstanding job installing 2 high efficiency ductless mini splits – 1 at each end of my house. The owners Ron and Jeremy worked with me patiently on the system sizing and selection process, rebates from my power company, income tax credits, etc. Everyone on the installation crew was polite, conscientious, and knowledgeable. They came back next day to complete the installation of the second system despite snow and freezing rain!!! This company is well equipped to do the job efficiently. CAWIAMCA's price was much lower than the other 2 contractors I got estimates from (who planned to use concrete blocks to support the outdoor condensers). CAWIAMCA used quality steel bases with tall legs to support the condensers and keep them higher up away from snow, leaves, mice, etc. Nice looking installation. I could not be happier with a company. :-) CAWIAMCA!!!"

"Williams & Associates replaced an ancient, very large old boiler in my very large house. Bruce calculated the necessary size and found a suitable boiler. He and his crew thoroughly cleared the radiators and lines before removing the old boiler and installing the new one. They checked all the radiators and added new valves as needed during a lengthy checkout. It took several days to do all the work. Throughout, Bruce explained what they were doing and why as well as recommending changes/additions to the original proposal. They were even cheerful about removing the original "Mary Jane" from the basement. I would definitely recommend them to anyone using steam heat. Great job!"

"Posted a job for a boiler replacement on homeadvisor on thursday and got a call in less than half an hour. Ron, one of the owners, said he could come take a look on saturday morning. I got a quote on monday. I decided to hire them on friday. Jeremy the boiler specialist and other co owner came by the the next day to take a few more pictures and check on a few other things. The boiler we decided on was a special order and took a few weeks to arrive. It came in on a monday and was installed by thursday. They started on thursday morning with a two man crew. Around lunch the Jeremy came by to see how things were going. Around 2pm an other two guys showed up to help. At about 3:30 the co owner and boiler specialist came by to oversee the final part of the install and operational testing. I was originally told it would be a two day install. They didn't just replace the boiler, they replaced the expansion tank, dual zone control box, etc. They worked until around 7pm to get it all done in one day. They bled all the radiators in the house and made sure they were heating properly. They took all the old parts with them and left no trash behind. Everybody from this company was extremely professional. They arrived within five minutes of the time they said they would be at my house. Nobody could beat the quote they gave me for the install. Any questions I had were responded to in 30 minutes or less. The install looks amazing so much shiny copper pipe. Cawiamca gave me a 3 year warranty where they will take care of all the labor and parts if anything goes wrong. This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a company coming to my house to do something.They performed consistently above my expectations. They will be the first people I call if I need any more work done on my heating system. I highly recommend Cawiamca."

"Ryan installed a new boiler and indirect hot water tank in my house. The quality of workmanship is excellent. He was prompt and professional at every stage of the project. He explained how the system would work and makes great recommendations that will save you time and money. He answers all questions honestly and thoroughly and will make sure you are comfortable with everything he does. Don't think twice about hiring him - he will be in very high demand as he continues to make a name for himself."

"Jeremy and his team gave me the best contractor experience I've ever had. He listened to what I wanted, provided a fair quote for a central A/C replacement (air handler and condenser), and never pressured me or tried to upsell. In passing, he mentioned a heat pump option for the shoulder months to reduce oil use, but that was it. After doing my own research, I called him back with questions, and he took the time to walk through the pros and cons honestly. There was no sales pitch, I actually asked for a quote heat pump quote too, because I saw the benefits myself. I ultimately chose the heat pump and appreciate that Jeremy gave me the information needed to make an informed decision. His crew was fantastic, friendly, professional, and thorough. They removed the old system and completed prep work on day one, then finished the install on day two and walked me through everything. Great communication, great pricing, great workmanship. I highly recommend Jeremy and his team!"

Install Boiler FAQs, answered by experts

A furnace takes in cool air, heats it through the burner and heat exchanger, and sends the air on its way to warm your home. A boiler is a pressurized vessel that produces hot water or steam to heat the home and provide hot water. A boiler may or may not work together with a furnace.

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.

You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.

Home Efficiency and Usage:

  • Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.

  • Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.

Purchasing Strategies:

  • Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.

  • Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.
