Boiler replacement
We are looking to replace our gas boiler this spring. We have a hot water/radiator system with a separate hot water heater. Can anyone provide a ballpark figure for the cost for the boiler and labor to do it. Also, do we need a permit to do this? Thanks for the info.

Master plumber did my new boiler. Why don’t you call him? Estimates are free. I would say at least five grand. Mine was much more, but I am in a five story brownstone. Steam heat, with the boiler heating the hot water. We also had to do some replacement piping which made the price much more expensive. I believe you will need a permit, but Master plumber did all that stuff. I didn’t do anything except write the check.
Is a permit required for this? Still hoping someone can give me a ballpark figure
so what do you think the price would be ?
Thanks for the info Master Plumber.
As a rule, I don’t discuss prices on a public forum, but here’s the equipment you may need:
2700 square feet X 35 BTUs (rule of thumb) = 94,500 BTUs.
For a standard efficiency boiler, it looks like you can install a Burnham Series 2, 205 unit but that’s cutting it pretty close. Get a price on the 206 instead, and have it installed by someone who sounds like they know what they’re doing and can answer your questions.
That’s rarely ever the low bidder.
I don’t know how many BTU’s! Yikes. It’s a 3-story, 2700 square foot limestone.
How many BTUs?
