Boiler Replacement in Dutchess & Ulster County, NY

A boiler gives out when its heat exchanger develops pinhole leaks, the cast iron sections rot, controls fail, or buildup inside reduces output. In older homes, corrosion from years of water and combustion eventually wins. Sometimes, it’s leaking onto the basement floor; sometimes, it’s a unit that won’t restart after cycling off. If you’re dealing with cold radiators, water stains, or a boiler locked out for good, replacement is usually the next step.

Kent Road Plumbing & Heating begins with a heat load calculation rather than just matching the old boiler’s size, since older homes are often over- or under-sized from decades of guesswork. We disconnect and safely remove the old unit, rework piping, and install the new boiler along with required shutoffs, expansion tanks, relief valves, and modern venting. Any necessary electrical work is coordinated with a licensed electrician, and the controls are tested for each heating zone.

The result is a heating system fit for the building—not just a box swap. Most replacements are done over one to two days, but delays can happen if venting, gas service, or aging piping also need attention. You’ll know the new boiler is sized for your home, that every control works, and that you’re up to code for safety and efficiency. You’ll leave with the manufacturer’s documents and an explanation of the new controls before we finish.
