Case study

High-efficiency boiler upgrade

The owners of a 1920s-era home wanted lower heating costs and more comfort from their mix of baseboard and cast-iron radiators.

The challenge

An inefficient 1950s-vintage boiler was driving up gas bills and taking over valuable basement space.

Our solution

We recommended and installed a high-efficiency Weil-McLain Ultra 150 boiler with a companion Ultra 40 water heater. While upgrading, we moved the boiler to a far corner of the basement and reconfigured the pipe runs for extra headroom. Two pumps on the system loop keep water flow consistent for even heat.

The result
38%

The homeowner tracked monthly gas use before and after the upgrade and averaged 38% lower gas expenditures in the second year — plus 120 sq. ft. of new usable space, now an exercise room.

Relative annual gas spending, as tracked by the homeowner.
