Why Choose L & H Services Inc. for Boiler Installation?

Decades of Hydronic Heating Expertise

Since 1979, L & H Services Inc. has installed and maintained hydronic heating systems throughout Will County. Our technicians understand the unique requirements of boiler systems—water chemistry, circulation pumps, expansion tanks, zone valves, and the integration of all components into reliable, efficient heating systems.

Our boiler installation capabilities include:

  • Complete system design sizing boiler capacity to match actual heat loss calculations
  • Modern high-efficiency boilers like the Weil-McLain ECO Tec and Ultra series, featuring condensing technology and modulating burners
  • Traditional atmospheric boilers for straightforward replacement installations
  • Indirect water heaters providing domestic hot water from your boiler
  • Multi-zone systems with individual thermostats controlling different areas
  • Radiant floor heating integration for ultimate comfort

Superior Comfort from Radiant Heating

Boiler systems provide fundamentally different comfort compared to forced-air heating. Instead of heating air and blowing it through ducts, hydronic systems circulate hot water to radiators, baseboard units, or radiant floor loops—creating gentle, even warmth throughout your space.

Comfort advantages of hydronic heating:

  • Radiant warmth heats objects and surfaces, not just air
  • No air movement eliminates drafts, dust circulation, and dry air
  • Even temperatures from floor to ceiling without hot and cold spots
  • Quiet operation - circulating water is virtually silent
  • Better humidity - no forced air means less moisture loss
  • Superior zoning - each room can have independent temperature control

  • System filling and purging with treated water

Boiler Types and Technologies We Install

Condensing boilers like the Weil-McLain Ultra represent the pinnacle of heating efficiency, extracting so much heat from combustion that water vapor condenses inside the heat exchanger. This delivers 15-25% lower fuel costs

  • Stainless steel or aluminum heat exchangers resistant to condensation corrosion
  • PVC venting through sidewall (no chimney required)
  • Sealed combustion with dedicated outside air intake
  • Modulating burners adjusting from 20% to 100% capacity
  • Outdoor reset control adjusting water temperature based on outdoor conditions
  • Near-silent operation with enclosed combustion

Traditional atmospheric boilers like the Weil-McLain CGa and EG series offer reliable heating at more affordable upfront costs with proven cast iron durability. These proven designs use natural draft venting through existing chimneys.

  • Cast iron or steel heat exchangers for durability and longevity
  • Natural draft venting through existing chimney or Type B vent
  • Standing pilot or electronic ignition
  • Simple, proven technology with straightforward service requirements
  • Lower initial investment compared to condensing models

Combination boilers provide both space heating and domestic hot water in a single compact unit, while system boilers with indirect water heaters offer abundant hot water for larger homes.

  • Combi boilers - single unit for space and water heating, ideal for smaller homes
  • On-demand hot water like a tankless water heater
  • Indirect water heaters - separate tank with heat exchanger coil
  • Large hot water storage (40-80 gallons) for high-demand homes
  • Fast recovery using boiler's high BTU capacity
  • 20+ year lifespan for indirect tanks (no combustion inside)

Signs You Need a New Boiler

  • 15-20 years old - consider replacement if facing expensive repairs
  • 20-25 years old - replacement strongly recommended
  • 25+ years old - immediate replacement advised
  • Rising fuel bills despite stable energy prices
  • Longer run times to maintain desired temperatures

  • Multiple service calls per heating season
  • Heat exchanger leaks (extremely expensive repair)
  • Recurring circulator failures indicating system problems
  • Uneven heating or difficulty maintaining temperature
  • Banging, rumbling, or strange noises
  • Rust-colored water when draining system

Why Professional Installation Matters

A boiler is only as good as its installation. Even premium high-efficiency equipment performs poorly if installed incorrectly.

  • Proper sizing prevents short-cycling or inadequate heating
  • Correct expansion tank sizing prevents pressure problems
  • Adequate circulator pumps ensure good flow to all zones
  • Properly-sized piping delivers adequate flow
  • Thorough system purging eliminates air pockets

Boiler installation involves multiple safety-critical elements requiring professional expertise. Manufacturer warranties explicitly require professional installation.

  • Gas safety - proper line sizing, leak testing, code compliance
  • Pressure safety - relief valves, expansion tanks, high-limit controls
  • Combustion safety - proper venting prevents CO accumulation
  • Warranty protection - DIY installation voids coverage
  • Extended lifespan - proper installation adds 5-10 years to equipment life

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to your boiler installation questions

Most residential boiler installations are completed in 1-2 days depending on system complexity. Single-day installations (8-12 hours) are typical for straightforward boiler replacement with existing piping. Two-day installations are needed for venting modifications, new zone valves, indirect water heater addition, or significant piping changes. We don't leave you without heating during Illinois winters—most installations restore heat the same day or next day.

Boiler sizing requires professional heat loss calculation accounting for home square footage, insulation levels, windows, air sealing, and climate. Well-insulated Illinois homes typically need 25-35 BTU per square foot, while older poorly-insulated homes may need 40-50 BTU per square foot. Oversized boilers short-cycle reducing efficiency and lifespan; undersized boilers run constantly never reaching temperature. We perform Manual J calculations ensuring your new boiler is sized precisely.

Standard-efficiency boilers (80-85% AFUE) cost significantly less upfront and work well with existing chimney venting. Condensing high-efficiency boilers (90-98% AFUE) cost more initially but save 15-25% annually on fuel bills, typically paying for themselves within 8-12 years. High-efficiency makes more sense if you lack a functional chimney, plan to stay long-term, or want to minimize environmental impact. We provide detailed payback analysis during consultation.

Yes—many homeowners use boilers for both space heating and domestic hot water through indirect water heaters or combi boilers. Indirect water heaters provide abundant capacity (40-80 gallons) with fast recovery and 20+ year lifespan. Combi boilers provide on-demand hot water in a single unit, ideal for smaller homes. We help you select the approach best matching your hot water demands during consultation.

New boilers require annual professional maintenance for warranty validity, efficiency, safety, and longevity. Annual service includes combustion analysis, heat exchanger cleaning, circulator pump inspection, water treatment testing, and safety control verification. Annual maintenance prevents 80% of boiler failures, maintains efficiency within 95% of original specification, and extends equipment life 5-10 years. We offer maintenance agreements with priority service and discounted repairs.

Boiler advantages: Superior radiant comfort, no air movement or drafts, better humidity, quieter operation, excellent zoning, and no ductwork heat loss. Furnace advantages: Lower installation cost, faster temperature response, air conditioning integration, and air filtration capability. Best applications for boilers: homes valuing comfort, properties without ductwork, multi-level homes, and customers with allergies. Call us to discuss which option best fits your needs.

Zones allow independent temperature control for different areas of your home. Each zone has its own thermostat and motorized valve or circulator pump. Common zoning: separate zones for basement, main floor, and upper level; separate zones for bedrooms vs. living areas. Benefits include improved comfort, 10-20% energy savings by not heating unused areas, and family harmony with different temperature preferences. Contact us for a detailed zoning estimate based on your home's layout.

Yes—typically 20-35% savings when replacing an older boiler with a modern high-efficiency system. Replacing a 65-70% efficient boiler from the 1980s-90s with a 95% condensing model provides approximately 30-35% fuel reduction. Additional savings come from outdoor reset control (5-10%), programmable thermostats (10-15%), and proper zoning (10-20%). High-efficiency boilers may also qualify for utility rebates and tax credits.

Yes—financing options are available making boiler replacement affordable. We offer 0% interest financing for qualified buyers (typically 12-24 months same-as-cash), low-interest extended terms (36-120 months), and flexible approval criteria. Financing allows upgrading to high-efficiency equipment that delivers long-term fuel savings—monthly savings on utility bills can offset monthly payments. Contact us to discuss current financing offers.

Yes—L & H Services Inc. designs and installs radiant floor heating systems providing ultimate comfort through gentle, even warmth radiating from your floors. Advantages include superior comfort with warm floors underfoot, excellent efficiency at lower water temperatures, invisible heating with no radiators or baseboards, and absolutely quiet operation. Best for new construction, major renovations, tile/stone floors, bathrooms, and basements. Radiant pairs excellently with high-efficiency condensing boilers.
