Boiler Installation, Service & Emergency Repair in Northeastern Connecticut

If your home runs on an oil or propane boiler, you need a contractor who knows these systems inside and out — not someone who treats them as a sideline. We've been servicing and installing boilers across Windham County for 23 years, and we'll give you a straight answer on whatever your system needs.

What We Do: Full-Scope Boiler Service Under One Roof

We handle every stage of a boiler system's life — from new installation to annual maintenance to emergency repair when something goes wrong at the wrong time. You don't need a separate contractor for each piece of that.

 

Our boiler services include:

 

  • New boiler installation for new construction and replacement projects
  • Oil and propane boiler replacement with proper sizing and system evaluation
  • Annual boiler cleaning, combustion efficiency check, and safety inspection
  • Emergency boiler repair, available 24 hours a day
  • System upgrades including zone controls, thermostats, and circulator replacement
  • Boiler service for residential, commercial, and light industrial properties in Windham and New London counties

Repair or Replace? We'll Tell You Straight.

The most common question we hear about boilers is also the most important one: is this worth fixing, or is it time to replace it? We evaluate the condition of your system, tell you what we find, and give you a clear recommendation — without steering you toward the more expensive option.

 

A boiler that's 15 to 20 years old and showing signs of trouble may cost more to keep running than a new, high-efficiency unit would over the next five years. A boiler that's 12 years old with one failed component is probably worth repairing. The answer depends on the specific system, and we've seen enough of them across northeastern Connecticut to know the difference.

Annual Boiler Cleaning: The Service Most Homeowners Skip

A boiler that hasn't been serviced in a few years isn't just less efficient — it's a liability. Soot and combustion deposits build up in the heat exchanger, reducing output and increasing fuel consumption. Flue connections and venting can develop gaps that allow carbon monoxide to migrate into living spaces. And a system running outside its designed parameters is more likely to fail mid-January than one that's been cleaned and inspected every fall.

 

Our annual boiler service covers the full picture:

 

  • Burner cleaning and combustion efficiency test
  • Heat exchanger inspection and flue check
  • Safety control testing (pressure relief valve, low-water cutoff, aquastat)
  • System pressure and expansion tank check
  • Filter and strainer service where applicable
  • Written summary of findings and system condition

 

If you want to put your boiler on a scheduled maintenance plan, we can set that up so it happens automatically each year. Our HVAC maintenance plans cover boiler service as part of a broader annual program.

Emergency Boiler Repair When You Need It Most

A boiler failure in the middle of a Connecticut winter isn't an inconvenience — it's an emergency. We offer 24-hour emergency boiler repair for homeowners and property owners throughout Windham County and the surrounding area. When you call 860-456-HOME, you reach us directly.

 

Common emergency calls we handle include no-heat situations, pressure and lockout faults, failed circulator pumps, cracked heat exchangers, and pilot or ignition failures on older systems. We carry parts for the most common oil and propane boiler makes and models so we're not waiting on a parts order before we can get your heat back on.

Boiler Installation and Replacement in Windham County

When it's time for a new boiler — whether you're replacing a failed system or planning ahead — we handle the full installation from equipment selection through startup and commissioning. We work with oil and propane boilers and can recommend the right system based on your home's heating load, existing distribution, and fuel setup.

 

For new construction projects, we coordinate boiler installation as part of a complete mechanical package. If you're a builder or general contractor working on a new home in northeastern Connecticut, we can handle plumbing, HVAC, and electrical under one contract — no coordinating between separate mechanical subs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should a boiler be cleaned and serviced?

    Once a year, ideally before the heating season begins. An annual cleaning and inspection keeps combustion efficiency up, catches developing problems before they become failures, and confirms that safety controls are functioning correctly. Most manufacturers require annual service to maintain warranty coverage as well.

  • What are the signs that a boiler needs to be repaired or replaced?

    Short-cycling, unusual noises, uneven heat across zones, rising fuel bills without a change in usage, and visible corrosion or rust on the unit are all signs worth having evaluated. Age matters too — oil and propane boilers typically last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance, but a system in its late teens with recurring problems is often approaching the end of its cost-effective service life.

  • What is the boiler replacement cost in Connecticut?

    Boiler replacement costs vary based on system size, fuel type, equipment brand, and the complexity of the installation. Most residential replacements in Connecticut fall in the range of $4,000 to $9,000 installed, though older homes with outdated distribution systems or venting that needs to be brought up to code can run higher. We provide written estimates before any work begins.

  • Do you offer emergency boiler repair in Windham County?

    Yes. We provide 24-hour emergency boiler repair throughout Windham County and the surrounding area, including Putnam, Killingly, Thompson, Plainfield, Brooklyn, and Woodstock. Call 860-456-HOME (4663) any time for emergency service.

  • Can you service my boiler if it's an older oil-fired unit?

    Yes. We service oil and propane boilers of all ages, including older cast-iron systems that many contractors are reluctant to work on. If a system is still structurally sound and parts are available, we'll service it. If it's reached the point where continued repair doesn't make economic sense, we'll tell you that directly and walk you through replacement options.
