Emergency Boiler Replacement Cost Ranges

Emergency installation outside regular hours may include a surcharge.
Additional Costs to Consider for Boiler Replacement
Beyond the base boiler replacement cost, several additional factors can affect the total price. Venting modifications are common when upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing boiler, which requires a different venting system than standard efficiency units. Gas line upgrades may be needed if the new boiler requires higher BTU input. Electrical work may be needed to supply power to the new boiler and any associated components. System flushing and cleaning is recommended when replacing an older boiler to remove sediment and debris from the heating system. New thermostats or controls may be needed if upgrading to a more efficient system. Permit fees vary by municipality but are typically included in CANRO's quotes. We provide a complete estimate that accounts for all necessary work.
