Steam Boiler Replacement

Great savings $$ can be obtained when an old steam boiler is replaced.

They've proven to be both durable and reliable, however, 60-80 year old boilers (still heating many US homes today) are only 50-60% efficient. Small returns on your energy-investment can also be expected when a boiler has been improperly sized.

Efficiency ratings for properly sized modern steam boilers range from 81%-83%. That would equal a 20-30% fuel savings alone. I'm sure you're thinking: "That would be GREAT!", but wait, it gets better!

A modern boiler replacement is only one part of the system in which great savings can be realized.
Rarely, do I encounter a boiler that's been piped properly, much less for efficiency.

Steam System Surveys
Because of today's boilers that burn natural gas or fuel oil instead of coal, many older systems are still in need of being updated to today's standards. Old, sagging system piping and/or radiators often hinders quiet, comfortable operation as well. 

There are many causes for poor system performance, with our steam survey you'll have a map to guide your system to more comfortable, efficient service. We'll provide a detailed list of any problems and recommended updates.
