Every boiler installation includes professional sizing, proper venting, and connection to your existing heating distribution system. We handle all permits and inspections required by Massachusetts code.
You get a complete system startup, performance testing, and a walkthrough of your new equipment. We’ll show you the basics of operation and maintenance to keep your warranty valid.
Waltham’s older homes often need additional considerations like updated gas lines or electrical connections. We identify these needs upfront so there are no surprise costs during installation. Our experience with colonial-era homes means we know how to work with existing systems efficiently.
Boiler installation in the Waltham area typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000, depending on the type of boiler, your home’s size, and any necessary upgrades to existing systems. High-efficiency models cost more upfront but can cut your heating bills by 20-30% annually.

Financing options are available to spread the investment over time, making it easier to upgrade to a more efficient system without a large upfront payment.
Most boiler installations take 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of your existing system and any necessary upgrades. Straightforward replacements in newer homes often complete in a single day.
