"I called about 30 heating and cooling guys and few of them would talk to me and never call back with the estimate. Few came in and gave me an estimate and one of them told me that I require a 4 ton. Airflow from Jacksonville came out and measured the house and came up with a 2.5 ton unit requirement just as I calculated and installed it. Pricing was better than anybody else. I would give him something higher than A across all categories."

"We wanted to replace our existing Heating, Air Conditioning Unit.  We called several contractors and had them out to give us an estimate.  Wes Hudson called us immediately, emailed us information to review before he came to give us an estimate.  He gave us a much more thorough evaluation of our existing system than the other contractors.  Gave us an estimate and when we told him we were going to check with another contractor to see if we could get the same unit at a lower price, he gave us an even lower price.  We checked Angie's List to see what his rating was and decided to go with him.  The installers were very neat and efficient and had the new unit in about 6 or 7 hrs.  We are very pleased with Hudson's and have already recommended him  to people in our neighborhood who saw that we were getting a new unit.  A plus!!"

Install Boiler FAQs, answered by experts

Boiler installations and replacements cost between $3,600 to $8,400. Expect to pay around $5,900 on average for a new boiler, including installation. Adding new radiators or heaters to the boiler may include separate costs if you are also upgrading those components, so the final price may be higher. To decrease costs, you can look for local energy rebates for using a boiler and wait until installers are offering discounts for a first-time installation.

The average lifespan of a boiler is typically between 15 and 20 years, though some may last for as little as 10 years while others can reach 30. A boiler's longevity is influenced by several factors, including the quality of the unit, proper installation, and consistent professional maintenance.

The material also plays a significant role. Older boilers made from durable cast iron can last for over 20 years, with some functioning for up to 50 years. However, it's important to consider their lower efficiency, which can lead to higher utility bills. Modern boilers, often made from steel alloys, are designed to withstand high pressure and temperatures and have an average lifespan of about 20 years.

To maximize your boiler's lifespan, ensure it is installed correctly, have it professionally maintained each year, and address any necessary repairs immediately.

Probably not. Moving a boiler to a new location is a very different prospect from replacing it in the same spot, and significantly more expensive. Plus, boilers are typically carefully positioned in proximity to pipes and radiators when installed. Homeowners may want to move boilers to free up space, prevent freezing problems that have happened in winter, or solve a noise issue—but it’s a much more costly proposition.

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.

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.
