Boiler Repair & Replacement
Do you work on oil and gas boilers?
Yes. We repair and replace both, and we convert homes from oil to gas.
What is a combi boiler?
A combination boiler heats your home and makes on-demand hot water, so you can remove a separate water heater.
Can you fix a boiler another company could not?
Often, yes. Complex and older hydronic systems are our specialty.

Radiant & Hydronic Heating
Can you add radiant heat to a bathroom or addition?
Yes. We install radiant tubing in new slabs, additions and bathroom remodels.
Do you service existing radiant systems?
Yes. We diagnose, repair and rebuild existing radiant and baseboard systems.
What is zoning?
Zoning splits your home into areas with their own thermostats so you only heat what you use.

Oil to Gas Conversions
How long does a conversion take?
Most boiler conversions take a day or two once gas service is in place.
Do I need gas at the street?
Yes. Your utility has to bring gas service to the home before the switch.
Can a combi boiler replace my water heater too?
Yes. A combi boiler makes on-demand hot water, so a separate tank is no longer needed.

Do you handle warranty parts?
