The electrician went to check and stayed at the property for less than 5 mins after confirmation to do full diagnostic of the electrical system.

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to repair a radiator than it is to replace one. The average radiator repair cost is around $150, and it’s typically about ten times as expensive—around $1,500—to replace a radiator. A repair usually takes under an hour, too, while a replacement can take several hours, making it less of a time commitment to repair one.

Using heating oil to heat your home has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages.

Consider these drawbacks before installing a heating oil system:

Heating oil prices fluctuate frequently
Risk of oil spills or leaks
Produces more air pollution and soot compared to a gas furnace
Regular maintenance required for equipment
Need to reorder heating oil consistently to avoid running out

Many HVAC companies offer free quotes and free estimates for repairs and new HVAC systems. Others offer low-cost quotes or apply the cost of the estimates or diagnostics to your final bill if you hire them. Be aware that some companies advertise free HVAC quotes and recoup the costs by charging more for their services. Free HVAC quotes are never truly free—they cost the company time and effort—so be a good customer. Also understand that you may end up paying for free quotes in another way if you don’t hire a reputable company.

HVAC systems last between 10 and 30 years, with an average life span of 20 years. However, the components of an HVAC system have different life expectancies. For example, a heat pump lasts between 10 and 20 years on average, while a furnace might last between 15 and 30 years.

Since your boiler keeps you warm and provides hot water to your home, you’re likely to notice issues with heating in your living space right away. The most obvious sign that your boiler is breaking is not getting any heat or hot water. You might also hear some odd sounds coming from your boiler during operation, the flame in your gas boiler is not blue, the pressure is inconsistent, or your boiler is using more energy than it should. If you notice any of these signs, be sure to call a pro right away.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
