When your home’s heating system starts acting up maybe your boiler keeps breaking down, the radiators aren’t warming up evenly, or your energy bills suddenly spike you know it’s time to look into boiler replacement. And while it might feel overwhelming at first, knowing exactly what to expect makes the entire process clearer, easier, and a whole lot less stressful.
At Chicago Comfort HVAC Services, we help homeowners navigate every stage of the boiler installation journey, from the initial inspection to the final system check. So today, let’s walk through a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of what happens during a professional boiler upgrade, and how you can prepare for a smooth and efficient experience.
1. Initial Assessment & Home Heating Evaluation
Before any tools come out, a licensed technician will perform a complete evaluation of your home’s current heating setup. This is where we look at your:
- Existing boiler configuration
- Radiator performance
- Hot water needs
- Energy-efficiency opportunities
- Venting and gas supply requirements
This inspection helps determine whether you need a gas boiler replacement, combi boiler replacement, oil boiler replacement, or even an electric boiler replacement, depending on what suits your home best.
We’ll also discuss boiler replacement cost, potential boiler finance options, and whether you might qualify for available boiler grants. At this stage, you’ll receive a new boiler quote based on your preferred system and home requirements.
