Boiler Installation & Repair FAQs

How much does a new boiler cost in Chicago?

Boiler installation costs typically range from $4,000 to $9,000, depending on the type, size, and efficiency rating. High-efficiency condensing boilers cost more initially but provide significant energy savings. We offer free estimates and financing options to fit your budget.

How long does a boiler last?

With proper maintenance, a quality boiler can last 15-25 years. Regular annual maintenance is key to maximizing your boiler's lifespan and preventing premature failure.

What is the most efficient type of boiler?

Condensing boilers are the most efficient, with AFUE ratings of 90-98%. They capture and reuse heat that traditional boilers lose through the flue, significantly reducing energy costs.

Why is my boiler leaking water?

Common causes include corroded pipes, faulty pressure relief valves, damaged seals, or a cracked heat exchanger. A leaking boiler requires immediate professional attention to prevent property damage and safety hazards.

How often should I service my boiler?

Annual boiler maintenance is recommended, ideally before the heating season begins. Regular service ensures safety, efficiency, and helps catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.

What's the difference between a boiler and a furnace?

Boilers heat water and distribute heat through radiators or radiant floor systems. Furnaces heat air and distribute it through ductwork. Boilers typically provide more even, comfortable heat and better energy efficiency.
