How much does boiler replacement cost in Lexington, MA?

Boiler replacement costs in Lexington, MA typically range from $4,500 to $12,000, depending on your home’s size, the type of boiler, and installation complexity. Factors that affect pricing include whether you’re switching fuel types, need new piping, or require electrical upgrades for modern heating systems. We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. During our assessment, we’ll give you an exact quote based on your specific situation. Many Lexington homes built in the 1960s require additional work due to older infrastructure, which we account for in our boiler services pricing. Remember that a quality installation saves money long-term through better efficiency and fewer repairs. Cheap installations often cost more when you factor in callbacks, warranty issues, and premature system failures.
Most boiler replacements in Lexington take 1-2 days to complete. The timeline depends on factors like accessibility, whether we’re changing fuel types, and any necessary updates to meet current building codes for heating system repair. Day one typically involves removing the old boiler and preparing the installation area. Day two focuses on installing the new system, making all connections, and thorough testing. If we encounter unexpected issues—common in older Lexington homes—we’ll communicate any delays immediately. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Rushing a boiler installation creates safety risks and warranty problems that cost more to fix later. Our goal is getting your heat restored quickly without compromising the installation quality.
For most Lexington, MA homes, high-efficiency condensing boilers offer the best combination of performance and fuel savings. These units work well with the town’s natural gas infrastructure and provide consistent heat during harsh Massachusetts winters. Oil boilers remain popular in areas without natural gas access, though they require more maintenance and boiler service calls. Heat pumps are gaining popularity but may need backup heating during extreme cold snaps that Lexington experiences. The best choice depends on your home’s size, existing infrastructure, and fuel availability. During our assessment, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option for your specific situation. We don’t push expensive upgrades you don’t need—our recommendations focus on reliability and long-term value.
Yes, boiler replacement in Lexington requires permits from the town’s building department. We handle all permit applications and ensure your installation meets local codes and Massachusetts state regulations for heating system repair and installation. Lexington has specific requirements for heating system installations, including proper venting, clearances, and safety shutoffs. DIY installations or unlicensed work can create serious safety hazards and insurance issues if something goes wrong. We’re familiar with Lexington’s permitting process and inspection requirements. This ensures your installation passes inspection the first time and maintains your home insurance coverage. Skipping permits might save money upfront but creates expensive problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Boilers over 15-20 years old with frequent repairs, rising energy bills, or uneven heating typically need replacement rather than continued boiler service calls. Safety issues like carbon monoxide concerns, cracked heat exchangers, or major component failures also indicate replacement time. In Lexington’s older homes, we often see boilers that have been “band-aided” with multiple repairs. While repairs might seem cheaper initially, they add up quickly and don’t address underlying efficiency and reliability issues with your heating system. During our assessment, we’ll give you honest recommendations about repair versus replacement. If repairs make financial sense, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing good money after bad, we’ll explain why replacement is the smarter long-term investment for your specific situation.
We provide a comprehensive 1-year labor warranty on all boiler installations, plus manufacturer warranties on equipment that typically range from 5-12 years depending on the brand and model. Our labor warranty covers any installation-related issues that arise with your heating system. Additionally, we offer a 7-day warranty on drain cleaning services and include a free main sewer line camera inspection with every boiler replacement—a $200 value that helps identify potential plumbing issues. Unlike some contractors who disappear after installation, we stand behind our work. If something goes wrong due to our installation, we’ll fix it at no charge. This warranty commitment reflects our confidence in our workmanship and our commitment to Lexington, MA homeowners who trust us with their heating systems.
