Help with your plumbing problem
A successful boiler installation starts with an check of the property and existing heating system—not just a match for the old unit. The installer considers the building heat load, fuel or electrical supply, radiators or baseboards, piping, venting, controls and domestic hot-water rules.
A clear proposal should find the boiler type and capacity, efficiency rating, piping changes, pumps or zone controls, venting or chimney work, permits, checks, old-unit removal, startup and final testing. Steam and hydronic systems require different design, piping and balancing decisions.
