keyspan boiler quote
hello all, we just a quote from keyspan's home services for a new boiler. a burnham # in10(3) boiler w/ 315,000 mbh input (btu's, i think) would be $ 7,438.00 for the boiler and the installation. the guy that gave me the quote seemed fine and i trusted him. i'm wondering if anyone else out there has used keyspan to install a boiler, and who else do people reccommend, because i'd like to get some more quotes. thanks ...

I used Keyspan for an oil to gas boiler conversion a year and a half ago. At that time I asked KeySpan to send one or two other heating and plumbing companies out who work under the KeySpan programs. Each quote will be individual.

7,438.00 for the boiler and the installation
I wonder what you're not getting for that price. I paid $11,000 for mine through a Keyspan installer. My neighbor across the street paid $9800 for a smaller boiler.

4:02, i'm not sure, the guy said it included everything. maybe your house is bigger than mine, hence a bigger boiler. his numbers were based on my house having roughly 20 radiators on 4 floors...

How large is your house? 315kbtu is enormous for a typical brownstone. Many installers oversize, make sure this is correct or you'll pay forever.
As a guide, my 3000 sq ft 4 floor semi-detahed has a 150kbtu steam unit. And I paid Keyspan 5000 in '02.

hey be careful with burners putting out btus in excess of 275,000. i found out the hard way that they require architect plans and yearly inspections, had to rip out a brand new boiler and install a new one.
