Most people that have homes with oil-powered hydronic or steam boilers, know that they can be a pain to maintain. You have a chimney, an oil tank, and the assembly that burns the oil. All of these parts have to be watched closely. One of our customers was running an oil-powered hydronic boiler and switched to an electric. He told us that he began saving $800 in his first winter month and an average of $100/wk for his 1600 square foot home with outdoor walkways.
The electric boiler did replace a 20 year old boiler but a heating unit was also added to the garage area. Our customer's calculations: A full return in investment in 2.5-3 years. This was based on energy use only and did not include any maintenance or parts. This customer's job consisted of installation of the electric boiler and running new electric to the new electric boiler.
Most oil-powered boilers need routine service which can cost an average of $300/yr and just an oil pump alone can cost $600. If you are tired of the rising price of oil and already run on hydronic or steam heat, you should consider replacing your current boiler with an electric.

These pictures show examples of snow melt tubing installation that we can do and have done.
The placement of tubing both in depth below top of concrete/asphalt and spacing of rows is critical to a properly operating system.
If it is too low or improperly spaced there will not be complete melting of snow from sidewalk or entry way.
This is the mechanical room piping at a local utility company.
We put a lot of pipe in a small area on this one!
However, in the end, it all worked as designed and the equipment was serviceable.

This customer contacted us because they were unhappy with their last plumbing contractor.
This is the cooling piping headers for their yogurt making machines.
Notice the curve of the wall.
We had to make this pipe on site.
After prefabricating the header on a straight copper pipe, we softened it and then bent it by wrapping it around the wall.
We then installed clear plastic blocking and strapped the assembly to the plastic for a clean and healthy installation, healthy because by using the plastic blocking, there is little to no place for dirt and bacteria to adhere to.
