Benefits of Boiler Replacement & Installation with Murphy & Miller

While a large industrial boiler can provide heat successfully for 25+ years, eventually you will notice a decrease in output and efficiency. You’ll also see an increase in maintenance costs and performance issues. At this point, it’s more cost effective to invest in a new unit for lower energy and maintenance costs. Whether you’re replacing the boiler in a mid-size retail location or a 300,000-square-foot mall, Murphy & Miller will handle your project with precision and care. We’ll consider all relevant aspects of your building to help you choose the best replacement. We’ll also determine whether your existing piping needs to be repaired, adapted, or replaced for the new system. If you’re constructing a new building or switching heating methods, Murphy & Miller will design a boiler system tailored to your needs. Whether you’re replacing an old boiler or installing one for the first time, we’ll conduct an energy audit and help you develop practices to maximize performance while minimizing energy costs.

Boiler Pros & Cons

While boilers are a reliable, long-lasting option to heat your business, it’s important to consider all aspects of boiler heating before making such an important investment. Murphy & Miller can help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of boilers according to your specific needs, but here are some general pros and cons:

Pro: Improved air quality – Since boilers do not work by forcing air through ductwork, they do not circulate allergens, chemicals, and dust throughout your building.
Pro: More even heating – Hot air rises, which means that forced air heating systems often heat buildings unevenly. Boilers keep surfaces warm instead of the air, leading to more even heating in your facility.
Pro: Longer life span – Boilers require fewer mechanical repairs and often outlast furnaces by many years.
Con: Higher installation & maintenance costs – The upfront cost of installing a boiler is often higher than that of a furnace. And although they present fewer mechanical issues, a boiler repair is, on average, more expensive than a repair on a furnace.
Con: Water leaks – Although infrequent, it is possible for your boiler to leak. In a large building a leak could go unnoticed for a while, potentially causing property damage. Murphy & Miller offers maintenance contracts to ensure that your boiler stays in good shape, making leaks far less likely.
Con: Heating only – Boilers are very good at providing heat, but that is all they do. You’ll still need ductwork for your cooling needs.
