Gas Fired Boiler Installation in Yonkers, NY
A new natural gas boiler sized right for your home.
Replacing an old boiler with a new gas-fired model offers reliable, efficient heat through Westchester winters. Proper installation includes sizing, venting, piping, and controls so the system runs quietly and safely.
Sizing a boiler the right way
Many older boilers in Yonkers were sized generously decades ago, sometimes by simply matching the old unit or by rule of thumb. Since then, homes have gained insulation, new windows, and weatherstripping, so the original size may now be far too large. An oversized boiler short-cycles, turning on and off frequently, which wastes fuel and wears components.
We size new boilers using a heat loss calculation that considers your home's construction and radiation, and for steam systems we measure the connected radiators, since steam boilers must be matched to the radiation they serve.
Venting, chimneys, and piping
Conventional gas boilers typically vent through a chimney, and older masonry chimneys may need a liner to handle the cooler, moisture-laden exhaust of modern equipment. High-efficiency condensing boilers vent through a sidewall with plastic pipe and need a condensate drain.
Near-boiler piping matters as much as the boiler itself. Proper piping protects the boiler from thermal shock, ensures good circulation, and in steam systems produces dry steam that heats evenly and quietly. We install to manufacturer requirements and inspection standards.
What to expect on installation day
Most gas boiler replacements take one to three days depending on the system. On the first day, the old boiler is drained, disconnected, and removed, which in older homes can mean breaking a heavy cast-iron unit into sections to carry it up narrow basement stairs. The new boiler is then set, piped, and connected to gas, venting, and controls. Before firing, we fill and purge the system of air, check gas connections for leaks, and verify safety controls. After startup, we measure combustion, confirm every zone heats, and show you the thermostat, the pressure gauge, and what normal operation looks like.
