How Long Does Boiler Installation Take?

Installing a high-efficiency boiler

It can take up to a couple days to install a boiler properly, but the payoff is worth it. Why? Because once your high-efficiency boiler installation is complete, you can start saving on energy costs right away, and those savings add up quickly. Read on to learn more about the process of having your high-efficiency boiler installed, and what that can mean for your family’s budget.

So, how long is this going to take?

It’s true that a boiler isn’t the snappiest piece of equipment to install – but, like most important tasks, it’s not a job you want rushed. A typical boiler generally takes between one to three days to install from start to finish.

The boiler installation process depends on several factors

The process of installing your new or upgraded high-efficiency boiler varies, based on several factors, such as:

• Same location: If your boiler’s location is staying put, and you’re just upgrading your equipment, this can be a simple swap-out that takes only one day.
• Different location: If you’re moving your boiler from its existing location, the process gets a little more complex, especially if the new location is on another floor in your home. Changes to pipework and adjusting the fittings can take more than a day. You’re probably looking at about two days for this type of installation.
• A whole new heating system? If you’ve never had a boiler before, the fittings and pipework will need to be laid from scratch, which can take a few days. An initial boiler installation may take 2-3 days typically, or more if your home requires significant structural changes.

A quality boiler means feeling cozy, while saving money on heating costs

Regardless of how long it takes to install your new energy-efficient boiler, you’ll be happy when it’s up and running. Not only will your new boiler keep the warm comfort of steam heat coming all winter long—it could also help reduce your energy bills by as much as 20 percent!
