What the price should include

- Which part failed: an igniter is cheap, a gas valve or control board is not
- Steam versus hot water systems
- Nights, weekends and the first cold snap of the year
- Age of the boiler and whether parts are still made
Red flags
- Being told you need a new boiler before anyone has diagnosed the old one
- A quote with no part named
- Pressure to decide on the spot
Good to know
No heat with children or seniors in the home is urgent. Renters: in New York City, heat is the landlord's responsibility during heat season.
Common questions
Is it worth fixing an old boiler?
Often yes. Cast-iron boilers can run for decades, and most no-heat calls are a part, not the boiler itself.
What should a service call cost by itself?
Roughly $125 to $250 for the visit and diagnosis, before any repair.
Why is Manhattan more expensive?
Parking, building rules, insurance certificates and travel time add to the pro's cost, so prices there typically run 10% to 20% higher.
