What factors affect the cost of a boiler install?
- Efficiency of the unit: We love installing the latest high-efficiency boilers from Ruud because they help our customers save money on their energy bills every month. That said, the most efficient systems do cost more to purchase up front. So the goal of our System Engineers is to find the right system that strikes that perfect balance between budget and efficiency for every customer.
- Fuel type: Fuel type will play an important role in your boiler installation. Natural gas is popular because it's both affordable and eco-friendly. In fact, natural gas prices have been declining for years, and Iowa's natural gas prices are some of the lowest in the nation. However, if your existing boiler uses a different fuel type, and you want to switch to another fuel type, it may require additions like a natural gas line, thus increasing the cost of the install.
- Contractor you hire: You could have ten different HVAC contractors bid on your boiler installation, and not one of them will have the same estimate. The most common reason for this is experience. A contractor that's been around for a while will have licensed and insured technicians, more reviews and higher quality installs. That's incredibly important, because the real cost of hiring a bad contractor will only become apparent later on when expensive repairs and fewer protections create huge headaches for homeowners.
They were prompt, efficient, and professional throughout the purchase and installation process. It was the best deal of several quotes we got.

Customer Review
Looking forward to our new boiler!
Nikki was great! She was knowledgeable and, clearly, HVAC is her jam! She knew her stuff, could explain it well and gave honest and frank assessments about what would work and what wouldn’t within our particular boiler system. I really enjoyed talking with her and I’ve had good experiences with the company before. Looking forward to our new boiler!
—Jessica G.
