Frequently Asked Questions About Boiler Installation

Your Boiler Questions Answered

Boilers offer several advantages over forced air furnaces: more even heating without drafts, silent operation, better humidity retention, no ductwork to clean, longer equipment life (30+ years vs 15-20), and superior comfort. Furnaces heat faster initially and cost less to install. Many homeowners find boiler comfort worth the investment. Our 38 years of combined experience helps determine which suits your needs.

Modern residential boilers use hot water, not steam. Hot water systems operate at lower temperatures (120-180°F), provide more even heat, offer better control, use less fuel, and require less maintenance. Steam systems (found in older homes) operate at 212°F+, require more maintenance, and can be noisy. We specialize in modern hot water systems, though we service steam boilers.

Traditional boilers provide heating only. However, hydronic systems can integrate cooling through chilled water coils with separate chillers or heat pump boilers. Most Lancaster homeowners pair boilers with separate AC systems or ductless mini-splits. This combination provides optimal year-round comfort. We design complete comfort solutions during consultation.

Quality boilers last 25-35 years with proper maintenance - significantly longer than furnaces. Cast iron boilers often exceed 30 years. High-efficiency condensing boilers typically last 20-25 years. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, maintenance frequency, system design, and usage patterns. Our professional installation and maintenance maximize longevity.

Standard boiler replacement typically requires 1-3 days depending on complexity. Day one involves removal and rough-in. Day two includes mounting, piping, and connections. Day three handles startup, testing, and training. New installations or system conversions may take longer. We provide accurate timelines during consultation and minimize disruption.

Existing radiators often work perfectly with new boilers. We evaluate your radiation during consultation, checking for adequate capacity, good condition, and proper operation. Sometimes adding zones or upgrading valves improves comfort. Complete radiator replacement is rarely necessary unless changing to different distribution like radiant floors.

Steam to hot water conversions are possible but involve significant work: replacing all piping, installing new radiators or alternatives, adding expansion tank and controls, and modifying distribution. While expensive, conversions provide better comfort, efficiency, and control. We evaluate feasibility and provide honest recommendations about conversion economics.

Proper sizing requires professional heat loss calculations considering home size, insulation quality, window efficiency, and design temperatures. Oversizing wastes fuel and reduces comfort. Undersizing can't maintain temperatures. We use industry-standard calculations ensuring perfect sizing. Common residential sizes range from 50,000-200,000 BTU input.

We partner with FTL Finance and Hearth offering flexible financing for boiler installations. Options include competitive rates, various terms, quick approvals, and affordable payments. Many customers find monthly payments equal or less than utility savings. Financing makes high-efficiency systems accessible. Contact us to explore options.

Boilers require annual professional maintenance including combustion analysis, safety testing, water treatment verification, component inspection, and efficiency optimization. Homeowners should check pressure monthly, bleed radiators annually, and monitor for leaks. Proper maintenance extends life, maintains efficiency, ensures safety, and prevents breakdowns. Our maintenance plans simplify care.
