Tips for Choosing a New Boiler

If this winter is being harsh on your home, you are certainly not alone. You might even be shopping around for a new boiler to make your home and water a little warmer.

Since it has probably been awhile since your last purchase, we're sharing everything you need to know when it comes to choosing a new boiler that will work for you.

Know the size of your home. You want to choose a boiler that has the capacity to heat no less or no more than the size of your home. Be as accurate as possible in your measurements and, if you must, choose the slightly larger furnace if there is not one available that directly accommodates your square footage.

Check the efficiency rating. Since not all gas boilers burn the same amount of gas, you'll want to consider the efficiency rating. The higher the efficiency rating, the less gas it burns - meaning it can do more for your home with less.

Get more than 3 quotes on contract rates. You're going to need a professional to install your new boiler. You'll want to get more than three quotes to ensure you're getting the best prices. Knowing they are properly insured and have good reviews is also important.

Consider the warranty. A longer warranty is a better warranty because it means your getting more value in the parts you are purchasing. An 8-10 year limited manufacturers warranty is pretty typical.
