How long does a natural gas boiler last?

The average lifespan of a natural gas boiler is about 20 years. A variety of factors can affect the life expectancy of your boiler, including how well it was installed, how well it’s maintained and used, and the quality of the original materials used in its construction.

The best way to extend the life of your boiler is to maintain it regularly with annual inspections from a professional technician who knows how to service natural gas boilers. This includes checking for leaks in all pipes and connections; cleaning burners; inspecting heat exchangers for cracks or corrosion; replacing filters; testing pressure gauges; oiling motors if necessary; cleaning pump seals (if applicable); checking water pumps for proper lubrication or replacing them if necessary; checking fuel feed lines for restrictions or corrosion (if applicable); cleaning flame detectors as needed (if applicable).

How efficient are natural gas boilers?

A natural gas boiler's efficiency is measured in terms of the percentage of heat produced that is converted into useful energy. This means that out of every 100 units of heat generated by the burner, 90 units may be extracted through the flue, and 10 will be wasted as excess heat. This compares with oil boilers that typically have efficiencies between 70% and 80%.

As you can see from these figures, switching from an old oil boiler to a new natural gas one could save you up to 30% on your fuel bills (depending on how much your current system uses).

How much does it cost to install a natural gas boiler?

The average cost to install a natural gas boiler is $2,000-$3,000. That's not including the cost of the boiler. The price depends on the brand, size, and efficiency of your new gas furnace.

Installation costs are usually included in this price unless you're looking for something exotic like a tankless water heater that needs installation by an expert. Of course, if you want something really fancy like a wood pellet burner installed in your basement then installation could be extra.
