Boiler Installation in Essex, VT

Essex boiler calls follow a pattern we know well. The 1960s–1980s construction era that defined so much of Essex’s residential growth produced homes with oil boilers that are now 25–40 years old – past their expected service life and running at 70–78% AFUE. A replacement with a 96% condensing propane or natural gas unit is one of the cleanest efficiency upgrades we do.

Essex, Vermont homeowners replacing standard-efficiency boilers with 96% AFUE condensing units typically see fuel savings of $400–$700 per year based on Vermont average heating oil prices of $3.80–$4.20/gallon. Langlois Plumbing, Heating & AC LLC installs high-efficiency boilers in Essex for gas, propane, and oil systems. Most Essex boiler replacements are completed in one day with heat restored before we leave.

Efficiency Gains from Upgrading Mid-Life Gas Boilers

For Essex Junction homes that converted from oil to natural gas in the past decade, we see a second wave of upgrades now – those conversions often installed standard-efficiency gas boilers to minimize upfront cost, and the efficiency gap between those units and today’s condensing systems is significant enough to justify replacement even on units that are only 10–12 years old.

Frequently Asked Questions

Propane is the most common replacement fuel in Essex areas without gas service. A high-efficiency propane condensing boiler achieves the same 90–96% AFUE as a gas unit. We install and connect propane systems including coordination with your propane supplier for tank sizing. Alternatively, a heat pump system eliminates the combustion fuel entirely - we can model both options.
