Your new high-efficiency boiler delivers consistent heat to every room without the cold spots and uneven temperatures you’re dealing with now. You’ll see the difference on your first energy bill—most Needham homeowners save 20-30% on heating costs right away.
Modern boilers last 25-30 years with minimal repairs because they have fewer moving parts than traditional heating systems. That means decades of reliable warmth without the constant service calls and unexpected breakdowns that drain your budget.
The even heat distribution also means better air quality since boilers don’t blow dust and allergens around your home like forced-air systems do.
We’ve been serving Needham homeowners since 2007, helping families stay warm through every New England winter. We understand the unique challenges of heating older homes in this area—from historic Colonials to modern builds.
What sets us apart is transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work. Our 24/7 emergency service means you’re never left in the cold when your heating system fails.

Your boiler installation includes complete removal of your old system, professional installation of your new high-efficiency unit, and all necessary connections for water, gas, and electrical lines. We handle permits and ensure everything meets local Needham building codes.
Given that 30% of Needham homes were built before 1940, we’re experienced with the unique challenges of retrofitting modern heating systems in older properties. We often upgrade existing piping and ensure proper insulation to maximize your new boiler’s efficiency.
Every installation comes with thorough testing, system commissioning, and a comprehensive walkthrough. You’ll also receive our maintenance guide specific to your new system and information about our ongoing service plans to keep your investment protected.
Boiler installation in Needham typically ranges from $3,500 to $10,000, depending on the size and efficiency level you choose. High-efficiency models cost more upfront but can save you 20-30% on heating bills immediately.
The final cost depends on your home’s size, existing infrastructure, and whether any upgrades are needed to your gas lines or venting system. We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin any work.
We also offer financing options to help make your new boiler more affordable, and the energy savings often offset the monthly payment.
Most boiler installations in Needham take 1-2 days to complete. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping out a similar unit typically finish in one day. More complex installations requiring new piping, gas line work, or electrical upgrades may take an additional day.
We handle all the details including permits, inspections, and cleanup. Our technicians arrive on time and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We also coordinate with local inspectors to ensure everything passes on the first try.
If your old boiler fails during winter, we can often provide temporary heating solutions while we complete your installation to keep your family comfortable.
The right boiler size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, number of bathrooms, and local climate demands. Many Needham homes built before 1940 need larger capacity units due to less efficient insulation and larger room volumes.
Our technicians perform a detailed heat load calculation during your free consultation. We measure room sizes, check insulation levels, assess window efficiency, and factor in your family’s hot water usage patterns to determine the optimal size.
An oversized boiler wastes energy and cycles on and off frequently, while an undersized unit struggles to heat your home properly. Getting the size right is crucial for efficiency and comfort, which is why we never guess—we calculate.
Yes, we provide a comprehensive 1-year labor warranty on all boiler installations. This covers any issues related to our workmanship and gives you peace of mind knowing your investment is protected. The boiler manufacturer also provides their own equipment warranty, typically 5-10 years depending on the brand and model.
Our warranty covers return visits, adjustments, and any repairs needed due to installation issues at no charge to you. We stand behind our work because we use proper installation techniques and quality materials from the start.
If you experience any problems during the warranty period, we respond quickly to resolve them. Most issues are minor adjustments that we handle the same day you call.
High-efficiency boilers operate at 90-95% efficiency compared to 70-80% for standard models. This means high-efficiency units convert almost all fuel into usable heat, while standard boilers waste 20-30% of the energy you pay for through the chimney.
The upfront cost difference is typically $1,500-3,000, but high-efficiency models save enough on monthly heating bills to pay for themselves within 3-5 years. They also produce fewer emissions and often qualify for rebates from utility companies and Mass Save programs.
High-efficiency boilers also provide more consistent heat and better temperature control. They’re especially beneficial in Needham’s climate where heating systems run for extended periods during winter months.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service for boiler failures and can often complete emergency installations within 24-48 hours. When your boiler fails unexpectedly, especially during cold weather, we prioritize getting your heat restored quickly.
We keep popular boiler models in stock and maintain relationships with local suppliers to source equipment fast. Our emergency installation service includes temporary heating solutions if needed while we complete your permanent installation.
Emergency installations may cost slightly more due to after-hours work and expedited service, but we provide upfront pricing so there are no surprises. Your family’s comfort and safety are our top priorities, which is why we’re available when other contractors aren’t.
