The installation process
We start by looking at your current setup — the radiators, the piping, and how your home actually uses heat. A boiler that's the wrong size for your home will run inefficiently no matter how good the unit is, so getting this part right matters more than the brand on the box.
Once we know what your home needs, we walk you through the options that make sense — gas or oil, standard or high-efficiency — and give you clear, upfront pricing before we start.
On installation day, we remove the old unit, connect the new boiler to your existing radiator lines, and test the whole system to make sure heat is reaching every room the way it should.
What affects the cost
Every boiler job is a little different, and a few things drive the price: the size of the unit your home needs, whether you're staying with your current fuel type or switching from oil to gas, and how much work is involved in connecting to your existing radiator lines.
Homes with older or nonstandard piping sometimes need extra work to connect cleanly to a new boiler. We'll flag anything like that during our visit, before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises once the job starts.
Boilers in older Armonk homes
A lot of the homes we work on in Armonk and the surrounding Westchester towns still rely on radiator heat, and many of those boilers are well past the point where a homeowner should be waiting for a full breakdown before replacing them. Some of these systems were converted from oil to gas years ago, and others still run on the original fuel type.
Boiler efficiency has improved significantly over the past couple of decades, and the U.S. Department of Energy publishes guidance on choosing an efficient heating system that's worth a look if you're weighing your options. We can walk you through what those efficiency ratings actually mean for a home like yours.
If you're also dealing with an aging hot water heater or general plumbing wear common in older homes, it's worth asking us about installing a new water heater at the same time, since both jobs often come up together in older houses.
Getting more life out of your new boiler
A new boiler is a real investment, and a little upkeep goes a long way toward protecting it. We'll show you how to bleed your radiators so heat distributes evenly, and let you know what a normal annual check should include.
If you'd rather not keep track of it yourself, ask us about a seasonal plumbing maintenance visit — it's an easy way to catch small issues with your heating system before they turn into a cold house in January.
When to call a pro
Call us if your radiators are heating unevenly, your boiler is making banging or kettling noises, you're seeing water pooling near the unit, or your energy bills have crept up without an obvious reason. Any of these can point to a boiler that's struggling, even if it hasn't fully failed yet.
If your boiler won't fire up at all in the middle of winter, that's not something to sit on. Give us a call and we'll help you figure out whether it needs a repair or a full replacement.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need a new boiler or just a repair?
It depends on the age of the unit and what's actually wrong. We'll inspect it, explain what we find, and give you an honest recommendation — repair when that makes sense, replacement when it doesn't.
Can I switch from oil to gas when I replace my boiler?
Often, yes. It depends on what's available at your property. We'll walk you through what a fuel switch would involve for your specific home.
Will my existing radiators work with a new boiler?
In most cases, yes. We check your radiators and piping during our visit to confirm compatibility before recommending a specific unit.
How long does a boiler installation take?
It varies by home and system complexity. We'll give you a specific timeline once we've seen your setup.
Do I need a permit to replace a boiler in Armonk?
Boiler replacement typically requires a permit. We handle the details involved in getting the job done to code.
What if my boiler is leaking right now?
Shut off the water supply to the unit if you can safely do so, and call us. A leaking boiler shouldn't wait for a scheduled appointment.
