Types Of Boilers We Install
High-efficiency condensing. Wall-hung models that save space and fuel when return water stays cool. Great for multi-zone baseboard and radiant floors when controls are set correctly.
Cast-iron hot-water. Simple and durable for homes with traditional baseboard. We match output to your heat loss so cycles are steady and rooms stay consistent.
Combination (heat plus hot water). One appliance for both needs. We size to the higher demand and confirm domestic flow rates so showers stay comfortable during heat calls.
Oil-fired units. For homes on oil, we set clean combustion, draft, and filtration, and design piping for a future conversion if that is on your list.
Controls and zoning. Thermostats, zone valves, or pumps as the layout requires. We balance loops and set limits so floors heat without hunting.

This Installation Process (Boiler Install in Upton, MA)
Load and layout review. We calculate heat loss, inventory baseboard or radiant coverage, and check water volume. That sets boiler size, pump selection, and venting needs.
Permits and coordination. Where permits or inspections apply, we file early and set visits on the calendar. We coordinate electrical and fuel work so the job moves cleanly.
Set equipment and venting. The boiler lands on a level base. We install primary-secondary piping or a low-loss header when required, then run intake and exhaust with proper slope and clearances.
Fuel and electrical. Lines are sized to manufacturer specs with shutoffs and drip legs where appropriate. We land a dedicated circuit and labeled disconnect, then verify grounding and bonding.
Fill, purge, and tune. Air leaves every loop. We set expansion tank pre-charge, confirm cold fill pressure, and dial circulator speeds. Combustion is tuned to the posted range.
Controls and proof. Thermostats are programmed, safeties are tested, and we observe a full heat cycle. You get startup readings in writing.

Preventative Maintenance
Protect pressure and flow. Expansion tanks lose charge over time. We test and set pre-charge, confirm cold fill pressure, and keep the relief valve dry through a full cycle.
Mind water quality. Minerals and oxygen drive noise and corrosion. We test water, add inhibitor when suitable, and recommend steps that match your piping and boiler type.
Keep air out. Automatic vents and dirt separators need periodic checks. Clear strainers, verify purge points, and avoid topping off the system unless a repair requires it.

FAQs
Price depends on heat loss, boiler type, venting path, zone count, and control strategy. After a short walkthrough, we provide a line-item estimate for equipment, labor, and any electrical or fuel updates. For a clear, written quote, call (508) 310-0955.
Straight swaps often finish in a day once materials are on site. Wall-hung condensing systems with new venting or added zones can take longer. We set start and finish times in writing. Need firm dates? Call (508) 310-0955 to lock your slot.
Plan on an annual check before heating season. We clean sensors, verify combustion, test safeties, confirm pump performance, and set expansion tank charge. Prefer reminders and set pricing? Call (508) 310-0955 for plan options.
Oversizing, skipping primary-secondary piping when required, venting without proper slope, ignoring water quality, and leaving air in long loops. We design around those risks and document startup readings. Concerned about a past install? Call (508) 310-0955 for an assessment.
