Complete Boiler Replacement Burlington MA

Everything Included, Nothing Extra
Your boiler replacement includes complete removal of your old system, professional installation of your new boiler, all necessary permits and inspections, and thorough testing to ensure proper operation. We handle the entire process from start to finish. Burlington’s building codes require specific venting and safety measures for boiler installations. We’re familiar with local requirements and work directly with Burlington’s building department to ensure your installation meets all current codes without delays. You’ll also receive our comprehensive warranty coverage: one full year on all labor and seven days on any drain cleaning work. Plus, new customers get a free main sewer line camera inspection to identify potential issues before they become expensive emergencies during the busy winter season.

How much does boiler replacement cost in Burlington, MA?

Boiler replacement in Burlington typically costs between $4,000 and $8,000, depending on your home’s size, the boiler type you choose, and any necessary modifications to your existing system. High-efficiency models cost more upfront but save significantly on monthly heating bills. The total cost includes removing your old boiler, installing the new system, all necessary permits, and our comprehensive testing. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying without surprise charges or hidden fees. Factors that affect cost include your home’s square footage, whether you’re switching fuel types, and if your current venting system needs updates to meet current codes. We’ll assess all these factors during our initial consultation and provide a detailed written estimate.
Most boiler replacements in Burlington take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your installation. Simple replacements where we’re installing the same type and size boiler typically complete in one full day. More complex installations—like switching from oil to gas, upgrading to a high-efficiency system, or modifying venting—may require two days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment based on your specific situation. Weather can affect scheduling during Burlington’s winter months, but we maintain adequate inventory and crew availability to minimize delays. Emergency replacements get priority scheduling, and we’ll work evenings or weekends when necessary to restore heat to your home quickly.
Boiler sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, and ceiling height. A typical 1,500-square-foot Burlington home needs a boiler with 75,000 to 100,000 BTU capacity, but this varies significantly based on your home’s specific characteristics. We perform a Manual J load calculation for every installation, measuring heat loss through walls, windows, doors, and the roof. This ensures your new boiler is properly sized—not too small to heat effectively, not too large to waste energy and money. Many Burlington homes have oversized boilers from decades ago when energy efficiency wasn’t prioritized. A properly sized modern boiler will heat your home more evenly and efficiently while reducing your monthly heating costs substantially compared to an old, oversized system.
Replace your boiler if it’s over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has efficiency below 80%. Burlington’s harsh winters put extra stress on heating systems, and older boilers become increasingly unreliable and expensive to operate. If your recent heating bills have increased significantly, if you notice uneven heating throughout your home, or if your boiler makes unusual noises, replacement is typically more cost-effective than continued repairs. Modern boilers are much more efficient and reliable than systems installed before 2010. Consider replacement immediately if you see corrosion, leaks, or if your boiler shuts off frequently. These indicate serious problems that are expensive to repair and likely to recur. A new boiler eliminates these issues and provides reliable heat with better efficiency and lower operating costs.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency boiler replacement throughout Burlington. When your heating system fails during a cold snap, we understand you need immediate service, not an appointment next week. Our emergency service includes rapid assessment of your situation, temporary heating solutions if needed, and priority scheduling for replacement installation. We maintain inventory of common boiler sizes and can often complete emergency installations within 24 hours. Emergency service costs more than scheduled installations, but we’ll never take advantage of your urgent situation. We provide the same upfront pricing and warranty coverage for emergency work, ensuring you get reliable heat restored quickly and professionally.
We recommend Weil-McLain, Buderus, and Viessmann boilers for Burlington homes because these brands consistently perform well in New England’s harsh climate conditions. These manufacturers offer reliable parts availability and strong warranty coverage. For Burlington’s mix of older and newer homes, we often suggest cast iron boilers for durability or high-efficiency condensing boilers for maximum energy savings. The best choice depends on your home’s existing system, your budget, and your long-term heating goals. We work with multiple manufacturers to ensure we can match the right boiler to your specific needs and budget. During our consultation, we’ll explain the pros and cons of different brands and models, helping you make an informed decision that provides reliable heating for decades.
