Boiler Installation Westwood NJ

New High-Efficiency Boiler Before Your Old One Explodes

Why New Boiler Installation Makes Sense in Bergen County

Your old boiler's probably running at 65% efficiency. New condensing boilers hit 95%. That's 30% of your gas bill staying in your pocket.

Signs It's Installation Time

  • Boiler over 20 years old

  • Repairs exceeding $1,000 annually

  • Rooms never getting warm enough

  • Gas bills climbing yearly

  • Rust and corrosion visible

  • Strange noises getting worse

Keep fixing that ancient boiler? You're throwing money into a dying machine. Like putting new tires on a car with blown engine - waste of money.

What to Know Right Now (Before Installation)

Sizing Is Everything

Too small won't heat properly. Too big cycles constantly, wasting fuel. We calculate heat loss properly. No guessing like some contractors.

Venting Requirements Changed

New high-efficiency boilers vent differently. PVC pipes, not chimney. Means installation flexibility but needs planning. We handle permits and codes.

Rebates Are Available

PSE&G offers rebates. Federal tax credits apply. Financing available. New boiler might cost less than you think after incentives.

Complex Installation Scenarios

Finished basement means protecting everything. Relocating boiler requires re-piping. Converting from oil needs tank removal. Steam to hot water conversions require complete re-piping.

Did an installation in Oradell where boiler room became wine cellar. Relocated everything to garage. Complex but gave them valuable space. Sometimes installation enables renovation.
