Combination oil-fired boilers provide hot water and heat on demand when the boiler is switched on. The downside is that the flow of heat can be quite slow, as it is heated instantaneously, and is not well-suited for larger homes or homes with more than 2 bathrooms.
Regular/conventional oil boilers are those you are used to with a hot water tank. These are appropriate for larger homes, as they can accommodate multiple people needing hot water at once.
System oil burners are similar to regular oil boilers. The difference is that all the components of the heating system are contained in one unit. This makes for easier installation, but the unit will require more space.
It is important to get multiple estimates and find the right price for you. Be sure to specify what is included in the price. Also, it may be possible to negotiate a long-term service plan with a contractor. Make sure they are licensed. A licensed contractor will be sure to follow all appropriate regulations, which will protect them and the homeowner.
Check your state and local regulations for installing a new oil boiler and the disposal of an old boiler. Some states may require an inspection for a new boiler or a recycling fee to get rid of the old one, though both should be under $100.
A professional should check your boiler once a year, preferably before winter. This routine maintenance should cost $100-$200.
A new oil-fired boiler can be from 90-97% energy efficient, saving you money in the time you own your home.
Purchase oil at the end of the summer when prices are lowest. Also, customers can “lock in” at a good long-term rate on oil and avoid market fluctuations. Talk to your local supplier to find out more.
The federal government is offering tax credits on new energy-efficient equipment. Check the Department of Energy home page or contact a local contractor for more information.
