What is the Cost of Installing High Efficiency Boilers?
If your current boiler has been in use for more than fifteen years and is now inefficient, or if you are thinking about getting a new one, then you should definitely get a new boiler installed. Boiler prices in the GTA are not fixed by putting a dollar amount on a unit. The cost of a boiler is affected by many variables.
Boiler Type: The price of boiler installation is highly dependent on the kind of boiler. There are more affordable and less efficient alternatives to high-efficiency floor-mounted boilers, such as atmospheric floor-mounted cast iron and traditional floor-mounted power vented boilers. But if you are looking for the maximum efficiency, the most costly option is a high-efficiency wall-hung boiler. Because it is wall-hung, it is ideal for compact households with limited floor space.
Heat Exchangers: One other important thing to think about is the heat exchanger type. Firetube is a popular alternative to water tube for smaller structures due to its lower cost. The water is encased in heated gases in a water tube, making it more efficient than a conventional method. The most costly and efficient heat exchanger is a cast iron section heat exchanger. Because of this, it outlives all others.
Home Size: Cost is directly proportional to house size since a larger home requires a larger boiler with a greater BTU input. Since longer pipes need more expensive materials, the cost of the boiler rises in direct proportion to the BTUs it produces. The installation process takes longer for larger residences since more people need to enter and exit the house. The price of circulators varies depending on their size, obviously. Increases in GPM are necessary for longer distances to baseboard heaters, in-floor heating and radiators.
