Benefits of a Boiler Upgrade

Replacing your boiler can lower your heating costs and boost your quality of life.

Let’s talk about the impact your boiler has on your life this time of year. It’s a big part of your household — and we mean that in terms of the space it takes up, the amount it costs and how it affects your family’s comfort.

When an oil-fired boiler system is running well, there’s probably no better way to stay warm on the coldest nights of the year. Today’s heating oil can generate a robust 138,500 Btu of heat energy per gallon. The warmth that hydronic heating systems produce tends to be slightly humid, making your home feel cozier. This heat involves no forced air, so you don’t need to worry about airborne pollutants circulating through ducts.

That said, if your boiler is 15 years old or older, there’s a good chance that its performance and efficiency have deteriorated. Every year, Burt’s Reliable helps many homeowners in Calverton and other Suffolk County towns to upgrade to new, world-class boilers. Here are some of the fantastic benefits they enjoy as a result.

1. Lower Bills with Greater Energy Efficiency

Heating comprises about 29% of the average home’s energy bill. An energy-efficient boiler could save you a significant amount over time, often more than 20% compared to what you’re spending now. Modern condensing boilers offer efficiency ratings of 90% or more. The result is that you’ll spend much less on heating oil each year.

2. Whisper-Quiet Operation

An old, clunky, noisy boiler — especially one located near a bedroom — can be a considerable annoyance. Newer models are designed with advanced materials and modern engineering, ensuring quieter operation. It’s a small change that can make a big difference, especially in noise-sensitive areas of your home.

3. Less Risk of Breakdowns

If your boiler is well into its second decade of continuous operation, you might be a bit too familiar with your boiler repair person. And a boiler failure can lead to water damage in your home. Rather than risk another pricy disruptive repair in the middle of winter, you can put a stop to these service issues with a new, more reliable boiler.

4. More Space in Your Home

Modern boilers are more compact than the ones they are replacing. These newer products can free up room in your home for better use.

5. A New Warranty

A new boiler comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, providing peace of mind and protecting you against unexpected breakdown costs. Having this financial safety net is invaluable. It protects you from unanticipated system issues.
