"Brian was very knowledgeable, honest and respectful. He showed up when he said he would and finished the whole new furnace install in a few days and considerably less than one of our other quotes. Can't think of one negative. We would highly recommend him."

"This is the second time that Tom from Areti has come to help us with appliance installation and, on this visit, replacing a cast iron sink. It was a difficult job because of how the initial installation had been made when the house was built, but Tom figured out how to get the job done effectively efficiently. Couldn't be happier with how the job turned out!"

"Bassett was fast to respond to my inquiry on Home Advisor/Angi. They offered to evaluate my old boiler furnace that evening so we didn't have to miss work to be there. I though we may need a new furnace but they were able to make some adjustments to make our upstairs heat work that night (which it hadn't for a while). They made a plan to return in less than 48 hours with the supplies and equipment needed for a permanent fix. They stayed within the price quote and even moved my thermostat as a last minute request."

"Outstanding from first meeting & purchase to 24Kw Generac's first start up. Amanda Tallman is completely thorough explaining all installation steps & the numerous items pertaining to this model. On the final day, in the rain, alone Amanda improved the propane line installed by gas supplier. We were so grateful for installation before cold weather & frozen ground occurs. Completely SATISFIED with 4 POWER NOW Roger Sevilla Throop Township."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, most municipalities require a permit for propane boiler installation to ensure safety and code compliance. Permit fees vary by location and are often included in your installer’s quote, as they’ll handle the permitting process. Ensure that you always check local regulations before starting your project to avoid fines or delays.

Some high-quality steam boilers come with 10-year warranties, but a well-installed, properly maintained model can last at least 20 to 25 years. Learning how to clean a boiler, getting an annual professional service, and keeping up with maintenance and repairs on your heating system are all important for getting the most out of your model. 

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.
