Boiler Installation / Replacement Services by Stramowski Heating and Cooling

When should I replace my boiler instead of repairing it?

• If your boiler is 12 years old or more, it may no longer be under warranty. Also, many replacement parts are slow to come in for steam boilers (due to supply chain issues or limited availability) or are no longer available.
  Our technicians will diagnose, check parts availability, and explain both options.
• If you own a boiler that is over 20 years old, you should consider a replacement for the efficiency value alone. Newer equipment is designed to be more energy efficient.
• If you have a boiler that uses a standing pilot (pilot light that is always lit), you should consider replacing your system.
• If your system requires repairs that exceed 1/3 of the price of a replacement, we recommend replacement over repair. Other parts (not associated with performed repairs) often break shortly after repair, so those parts would result in additional expenses as well.
• If you can save money on utilities by buying a new system, consider it. Newer or higher rated equipment can save you money on energy consumption, possibly with better heating performance. Those savings can pay for your new system over the life of the system.
