High-efficiency boiler replacements, oil-to-gas conversions, and honest system advice.
A new boiler should match your radiators, your fuel choice, and your plans for the house — not just replace whatever was there. We install steam and hot-water boilers across Newburgh, handle oil-to-gas conversions, and walk you through whether a modulating condensing boiler, a standard cast-iron unit, or a heat-pump alternative fits your home. Every quote is written and itemized, every install is sized to a real heat load, and every job is left properly vented, permitted, and tested.

The biggest decision isn't the brand — it's matching the boiler to how your home distributes heat. A steam system needs a boiler sized to the connected radiation, not the heat loss, because it has to make enough steam to fill every radiator. A hot-water system can pair with a high-efficiency modulating condensing boiler that throttles its output to the weather, but only if your radiators or baseboards can run at the lower water temperatures those boilers love. Put a fancy condensing boiler on a system that demands 180-degree water and you never see the efficiency you paid for. We sort that out before you spend a dollar.
Boiler options we install
| Type | Efficiency | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Cast-iron gas boiler | 82–85% | Steam systems and high-temp hot-water loops |
| Standard hot-water boiler | 84–87% | Reliable, budget-conscious hydronic replacements |
| Modulating condensing boiler | 90–95%+ | Low-temp baseboard/radiant systems seeking savings |
Plenty of Newburgh homes still burn oil, and if natural gas is available at the street, converting can end the delivery schedule and often lower your heating cost. We evaluate the gas supply, size the new boiler, handle venting, and coordinate the changeover. It's a bigger project than a straight swap, so we lay it out plainly — see the drivers in our oil-to-gas conversion cost breakdown. This is also the natural moment to ask whether a cold-climate heat pump belongs in the plan, especially with NYSERDA and Central Hudson clean-heat incentives in play — verify current eligibility before you count on them.
Don’t let a dead boiler force a rushed choice.
The worst time to pick a boiler is when the old one just died in January and you're freezing. If your boiler is aging, get the replacement planned in the fall. If you're already without heat, we can stabilize the situation with emergency boiler repair while we plan the right install.
Load and distribution review
We calculate the heat load, measure your radiation, and confirm what water temperature your system needs.
Written, itemized proposal
Equipment options, efficiency comparison, venting scope, and permit — all on separate lines.
Permit and prep
We pull the City of Newburgh heating and plumbing permits the job requires and schedule around you.
Removal and installation
Old boiler removed and disposed of, new unit set, piped, vented, and wired to code.
Startup, combustion test, and walkthrough
We test combustion, purge air, verify safety controls, register the warranty, and show you the controls.
The boiler is only half the job — the piping right around it decides whether the system performs and how long it lasts. On steam, sloppy near-boiler piping lets water carry over into the mains and causes the water hammer and wet steam that plague so many rushed replacements. On hot-water, the placement of the circulator, the air separator, and the expansion tank determines whether air ever fully purges and whether the pump fights the system. We pipe to the manufacturer's diagram, not to whatever was there before, because a good boiler on bad piping behaves like a bad boiler. It's the part of the quote a bargain installer skips and the part you'd notice for years.
Sizing a steam boiler follows a different rule than any other heating equipment: it has to match the total connected radiation — the actual square footage of all your radiators — because it must make enough steam to fill every one of them. Undersize it and the far radiators never heat; oversize it and it short-cycles and wastes fuel. Hot-water boilers get sized to the calculated heat loss instead. Getting this right on Newburgh's old systems takes measuring what's actually installed, not guessing from the house's square footage, and it's a big part of why we insist on a proper evaluation before quoting.
Keep the good radiators — replace what feeds them.
The cast-iron radiators in older Newburgh homes are often the best part of the system: durable, quiet, and comfortable. A boiler replacement usually keeps them and swaps only the boiler and its piping, so you get modern efficiency without giving up the even, gentle warmth those radiators are known for.
We install boilers throughout the City and Town of Newburgh and the surrounding Orange County communities, including the East End's older multi-family buildings where shared boilers and code compliance matter. Every install leaves with a registered manufacturer warranty and our workmanship coverage in writing.

When a boiler finally gives out in one of Newburgh's historic homes, the replacement has to respect the radiators it feeds. Our boiler installation crews work the steam and hot-water systems of the East End Historic District, the West End, Washington Heights, and the apartment buildings along the Broadway corridor, plus single-family homes across the Town of Newburgh and greater Orange County. We size steam boilers to connected radiation, pipe to the manufacturer's diagram, and handle oil-to-gas conversions where gas is at the street. The goal is modern efficiency without giving up the even, gentle warmth those old cast-iron radiators are prized for.

We don’t post fake flat rates — every job is quoted in writing after we see it. Here’s what moves the number for boiler installation in Newburgh:
Published local ranges for furnace or boiler replacement run roughly $4,000–$7,500, but boilers vary widely with system type, efficiency, and near-boiler piping. Conversions cost more because of the added gas and venting work — see our boiler replacement cost notes for the real drivers.
