Boiler Replacement in Fort Washington
Even if your boiler seems to be functioning just fine, keep in mind that those over 15 years old lose efficiency. If your current boiler is 20 years old or older, it’s also at a higher risk of failure. You’ll know it’s time for a replacement when it starts experiencing frequent repairs. Once those repair costs approach 50% or more of the cost of a new system, a boiler replacement will be the best option.
You’ll want to watch for warning signs that indicate the need for a new boiler installation. An increase in your energy bills may be due to your boiler struggling to operate effectively. There may be physical signs of failure, too. This includes rusty components or leaks. A boiler should have a blue flame, but one that’s malfunctioning will have a yellow or orange flame. Furthermore, the boiler may start making strange whistling, gurgling, or banging noises.
Our boiler installation process starts with one of our technicians assessing your home and current boiler. We’ll help you decide if a replacement is necessary. If so, we’ll determine the correct replacement for your needs. We can also determine the best type of boiler for your budget and needs.
On installation day, we’ll remove the old system before securely mounting the new model to your wall and floor. Our team will connect the new boiler to the existing pipework, and we will install a new flue pipe for venting exhaust gases outside. We put a condensate drain pipe in place, too. Finally, we integrate a new smart thermostat or traditional controls. Of course, we won’t leave until we perform a test for safety and functionality. We also explain how to operate your new boiler and answer any questions you may have.

- Increased energy efficiency
