Boiler Installation in Highland, NY

During your first call to Kent Road Plumbing & Heating in Highland, you’ll talk through the age and problems with your current boiler, what you’ve noticed during heating season, and discuss which fuel and brands are available in your home or building. We ask about any recent changes, cold rooms, or noises to help us plan what to check when we arrive. If a replacement is likely, we’ll advise you on which spaces need to be clear for removal and roughly what the visit will look like.

On the day of the job in Highland, we start by measuring heat loss room by room and inspecting radiators or baseboards. After confirming the plan, the old boiler is shut off, drained, and disconnected—water and power off for safety. The new boiler is assembled onsite, tied into existing supply and returns, and new components—like pumps, expansion tanks, or safety controls—are added as needed. Any required electrical wiring for controls is performed by an electrician brought in for that part only. Sometimes, while things are open, we spot other issues: old valves, leaking air vents, or underinsulated piping, and talk with you before making repairs outside the original job.

We refill the system, purge any trapped air, and fire up the new boiler. Each radiator or zone gets checked for heat and any remaining air is bled out. We don’t close up until the entire system has run through a complete cycle, every safety feature works, and you’ve seen the unit in action. At the end, you get the manuals, a demonstration of basic controls, and explanation of what was upgraded, plus an idea of what to watch for in future seasons in Ulster County.
