[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]~$8K for a 95% efficiency boiler @ 175 BTU, but this is part of a complete revamp of the hydronic system, new indirect water heater, etc. so we probably got a "discount" on the labor for a standard replacement.  Echo above, a solid plumber is a MUST for this type of thing.  Verify that they are factory certified for the particular brand of boiler they want to install.  A large majority of problems with newer HE boilers come down to improper installations, lots of brand-specific requirements and adjustments.  And a lot of them won't honor warranties on a boiler that was not done by a certified installer.[/quote]

How much was all the work? 8K for a mod con sounds really low.[/quote]
Total job was north of 20K (new gas lines, all new zoned heat, in floor, new rads in a few places, etc.).  So the bulk of the install cost was shared with all of that work.  The break out for the boiler itself + hook up was quoted at 8K.  That portion would certainly have been higher if we weren't replacing everything that would have been needed to support it, and the quote could have shifted those labor costs around, but that was the line item.  I would guess it would have been much closer to 10K for standalone (new vent work and re-run the gas service)[/quote]
