Boiler Repair on Long Island

Most boiler repairs on Long Island cost between $200 and $900 depending on the issue. Common fixes like a circulator pump replacement run $400-$700. Ignition, aquastat, or thermocouple replacements are usually $200-$450. A full boiler replacement is a separate conversation, and we'll give you a written repair quote before any work begins. If replacement makes more sense, we'll lay out that option with rebate pricing too.

As a general rule, if your boiler is over 15 years old and the repair costs more than 40% of a replacement, replacement is the smarter move. Older oil boilers in particular lose efficiency every year, and an oil-to-heat-pump conversion is usually the strongest replacement path on Long Island once the PSEG rebate is factored in. We do not do oil-to-gas conversions. We always price both the repair and the conversion so you can decide with the full picture.

Yes. Long Island has thousands of legacy oil-fired boilers, and we service them regularly. Common oil boiler repairs include nozzle replacements, oil burner cleanings, flame retention head adjustments, and aquastat replacements. If your oil boiler is near end-of-life, we can also walk you through whether a PSEG-rebated oil-to-heat-pump conversion makes more sense than another repair.

Yes. We service gas-fired boilers from most major brands including Weil-McLain, Burnham, Buderus, Lochinvar, Navien, and Peerless. Common gas boiler repairs include gas valve replacements, pressure switch issues, ignition failures, and flame sensor cleanings. We carry common parts on the truck so most repairs finish in one visit.

A well-maintained boiler on Long Island typically lasts 15-25 years. Oil boilers tend to fall on the lower end of that range because oil combustion is harder on the equipment. Salt air in the southern coastal communities can also shorten the lifespan of copper and cast iron components. Annual service makes a meaningful difference, and we offer maintenance plans that include a full boiler tune-up.

The most common causes of a boiler losing pressure are a leak in the system (baseboards, pipe fittings, a failed pressure relief valve), a waterlogged expansion tank, or a failing auto-fill valve. Repeatedly adding water to keep pressure up is a sign something is leaking, and running a low-pressure boiler can damage the heat exchanger. Call us sooner rather than later.

For a lot of Long Island homeowners, yes. The PSEG Long Island heat pump rebate for oil-to-heat-pump conversions knocks a meaningful chunk off the install, which brings the out-of-pocket cost closer to a like-for-like boiler replacement. Our documented jobs show heating costs dropping roughly 34 percent. If you want central cooling too, that comes from a ducted or ductless air-to-air system, not from an air-to-water heat pump feeding your existing baseboards, so we price cooling as its own line. Rebate amounts and savings are estimates, they depend on eligibility, they can change, and we confirm the final numbers in writing before you sign anything. We explain the full math on our oil-to-electric page.
