How much does boiler replacement cost in Waltham, MA?

Boiler replacement in the Waltham area typically ranges from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your home, the type of system you choose, and the complexity of the installation. High-efficiency units cost more upfront but can save you 10-20% on your monthly heating bills. We always provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The total cost includes removing your old boiler, installing the new system, all necessary connections, permits, and cleanup. We also offer financing options to help make the investment more manageable.
Most boiler replacements can be completed in one to two days, depending on your specific situation. If we’re doing a direct replacement with minimal changes to your existing system, we can often finish in a single day. However, if your home needs updates to gas lines, electrical connections, or distribution piping, the project might take an additional day. We’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial assessment, and we always work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring everything is installed correctly.
If your boiler is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Older boilers also operate at much lower efficiency levels, which means you’re paying more every month for heat. Other signs it’s time to replace include uneven heating throughout your home, strange noises, visible corrosion, or dramatically increased energy bills. If you’re facing a major repair that costs more than half the price of a new system, replacement is typically the smarter long-term investment.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Waltham and surrounding areas. We understand that boiler failures don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Massachusetts winters when maintaining proper heat is required by law. When you call for emergency service, we’ll first assess whether your system can be temporarily repaired to restore heat while we arrange for replacement. If replacement is necessary, we can often complete emergency installations within 24-48 hours, depending on equipment availability and the complexity of your installation.
For Waltham’s harsh winters, we typically recommend high-efficiency condensing boilers that can handle the extended heating season from September through May. Gas boilers are popular because natural gas is readily available and cost-effective in this area. The best choice for your home depends on your existing fuel source, your home’s size and insulation, and your budget. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend options that will provide reliable heat while maximizing efficiency. Modern high-efficiency boilers can achieve 90-98% efficiency ratings compared to 60-80% for older units.
Yes, we provide a 1-year labor warranty on all boiler replacement work, and your new boiler will come with the manufacturer’s equipment warranty, which typically ranges from 5-10 years depending on the brand and model. Our labor warranty covers any issues related to the installation, and we stand behind our work completely. We also offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently and to maintain your warranty coverage. Regular maintenance is the best way to ensure your new boiler provides years of reliable service.
