Condensing boilers pay back

Older cast-iron boilers run around 80% efficient. Modern condensing boilers reach 95% when paired with outdoor reset controls and low-temperature emitters like radiant floors.

Combi boilers for smaller homes

A combi boiler provides both space heating and on-demand domestic hot water from one wall-hung unit, freeing up space and eliminating a separate water heater.

Installation includes

  • Heat-loss calculation and sizing
  • Removal of old boiler
  • Near-boiler repiping and primary/secondary loops
  • Venting and condensate neutralizer
  • Outdoor reset and zone controls
  • Permit, startup and combustion analysis

Boiler Replacement FAQs

How long does a boiler last?

Cast-iron boilers often last 20–30 years; modern condensing boilers typically last 15–20 years with annual maintenance.

Can I replace my boiler with a furnace?

It would require new ductwork, which S&S Mechanical does not install. Most homeowners with radiant floors prefer to keep hydronic heat and upgrade the boiler instead.

Do you install commercial boiler plants?

Yes. We install multi-boiler commercial and industrial plants with ASME-certified welders.
