When is it Time for Boiler Replacement?
Deciding between a boiler repair and a full replacement involves considering the unit's age, repair history, and overall condition. Boilers typically last 15 to 25 years. If your system is approaching this age and requiring frequent service, a boiler replacement Bay Ridge Brooklyn might be more cost-effective than continuous patch-ups. A cracked heat exchanger or a severely corroded tank are strong indicators that a replacement is necessary, as these cannot typically be repaired safely.
Correct Sizing and Installation
A new boiler must be correctly sized for your property. An oversized boiler will short-cycle (turn on and off too frequently), wasting energy and increasing wear and tear. An undersized unit will fail to heat your home during the coldest days. We perform a proper heat loss calculation, taking into account the specifics of your Bay Ridge property, whether it's a large multi-family home or a cozy single-family residence.
Steam vs. Hydronic Systems
