"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!"

"John was outstanding! He meticulously diagnosed the problem and installed the equipment after tracking it down at 2 local supply houses. He kept us informed every step of the way and worked diligently until the work was completed. This is the second time we've asked Mull Bros. to perform a service at our house. We received excellent service both times. Mull Bros. is a highly professional company that has exceeded our expectations.

"Bertram was very professional and very careful with bringing in and taking out old and new boiler. When coming in and out layed cloth to protect flooring etc I highly recommend him. I was given several quotes in a timely manner and he was very honest and helpful in helping me to make my decision to have him install the bolier. Will recommend him to friends and family."

"The project with Beacon Mechanical Services went great. Scott, Todd and Tyler showed up at my house right on schedule. They had all of the equipment in their trucks and got right to work removing the old equipment. They were very nice to talk with and had no problems answering any questions I had. By 3:30 that same afternoon they had the new equipment installed and tested, asked my wife and me if we had any questions and left the work area spotless. I highly recommend Beacon Mechanical Services."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Most home boilers will need an expansion tank. That’s because these boilers are closed-loop systems, where the water is trapped. An expansion tank is needed when the boiler heats the water and it expands, allowing air to condense in the tank to make room for the water. Other types of boilers don’t use an expansion tank, such as traditional steam boilers, but these aren’t as common. And hot water tanks may be able to use a pressure release valve instead. When in doubt, call in a pro to take a look.

Steam boilers require flushing at least every six to 12 months to keep them operating effectively for as long as possible. Depending on your water quality and frequency of use, you might need to do this more frequently. The flushing process helps to remove problematic buildup of sediments. While a boiler contractor near you can perform a thorough annual flush, learning how to drain the system yourself means you can do this monthly if you experience speedy mineral accumulation because of hard water. 

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.

It can take anywhere from four hours to three days to replace a boiler with a new one. How long your particular boiler installation takes will depend on whether you need a gas line installed and if you’re switching to a new boiler system. 

Replacing a combination boiler or standard boiler with the same system should only take four to six hours. Meanwhile, switching from a conventional boiler system to a combination boiler system could take a few days.

It takes about five to 10 minutes for heat to reach a radiator, then about one hour until the radiator fully heats up a room. The exact duration depends on the size of the room and how far away the radiator is from the boiler heating system. Heating up an entire house could take up to two hours.
