Boiler & Heating Installation in Philadelphia

Boiler installation and replacement

Much of Philadelphia's housing was built around radiator heat, and many rowhomes and twins still run steam or hot-water boilers. If you like your radiators and the boiler is failing, replacing the boiler is almost always smarter than ripping out the system to add ductwork. Modern 94%+ AFUE gas boilers are far more efficient than the units they replace.

Gas-fired boiler: from $6,500 installed
Oil boiler: from $7,500 installed (oil installs involve more work: tank, lines and venting)
Boiler service visit: $150. We service gas and oil boilers.

Final pricing depends on the boiler size your home needs, the system type (steam, hot water or combi) and the venting and piping involved. You get a written number on the free estimate before any work starts.

Combi boilers: heat and hot water in one unit

A combi boiler heats your home and your water from a single wall-hung unit, which frees up basement space and retires the separate water heater. In Philadelphia, PGW's EnergySense program pays $1,400 on a qualifying combi boiler.

Replacing a gas furnace instead?

If your home has ductwork and a gas furnace, go to our furnace replacement page for published prices ($2,000–$4,000 installed), the repair-or-replace math and furnace rebates. For heating and cooling from one electric system, see heat pump installation. Not sure which fits your house? Read boiler vs. furnace for Philadelphia rowhomes.

I honestly never write reviews, but Lumen absolutely deserves one.

I needed a new gas furnace and they were fast, professional, and had the best price by far. I shopped around, got multiple quotes, and nothing even came close. From the first call to installation, everything was smooth and stress-free.

The team showed up and got the job done quickly. No pressure, —just honest, quality work.

If you're searching around like I was, stop searching and call them ASAP. You won't do better.
