WeldWhen winter arrives in Greeley, your home deserves a heating system you can trust. At Affordable Home Services, we believe in guiding you through every step of your gas boiler installation so you feel confident in your choice and in your comfort. Below is how our process works when installing a gas boiler in your home.
Home Evaluation & System Sizing
Before any installation work begins, we perform a complete home assessment. Our technicians measure your square footage, evaluate insulation, review existing piping, and calculate your heat load. That way, we can recommend the ideal boiler capacity (in BTUs). Proper sizing ensures your new system runs efficiently without overworking or short-cycling.
Choosing the Right Boiler
Not all gas boilers are created equal. You’ll typically choose between standard efficiency (lower upfront cost) and high-efficiency condensing models (better long-term savings). We guide you through that decision based on your home’s size, your budget, and energy goals never pushing you toward more than you need.
Preparing the Installation Site
If you have an existing boiler, we safely shut off gas and water, drain the system, disconnect venting, and remove the old unit. Throughout this stage, our licensed technicians follow strict safety protocols to prevent hazards and damage to your home.
Installing the New Boiler
After prep is complete, we position and install the new boiler. This involves connecting your supply lines, linking up gas piping, adding or updating venting systems, and integrating the boiler into your existing radiator or baseboard setup. We do this precisely so your system performs reliably from day one.
Electrical & Control Setup
Your boiler won’t be fully functional without its controls. We handle thermostat wiring, install safety sensors, configure ignition systems, and test fail-safes. Every control is calibrated to ensure the boiler responds appropriately to your home’s heating needs.
System Testing & Balancing
Once installed, we fill the system, purge air, check for leaks in gas or water lines, test temperature and pressure controls, and balance radiators for even heat distribution. Any fine adjustments are made here to optimize performance.
Inspection & Final Walkthrough
Your installation must meet Greeley’s building codes. We coordinate required inspections and then walk through the system with you explaining how it works, showing you operating steps, and providing warranty and maintenance information. It’s your chance to ask questions and feel confident about your investment.
Maintenance Tips for Long-Term Performance
To keep your boiler safe and efficient:
- Schedule annual inspections and tune-ups
- Watch for leaks or unusual sounds call a pro when in doubt
- Keep the surrounding area clear of clutter
- Change filters or flush systems as your technician recommends
Keeping up with these steps helps your boiler last well into its lifespan.
FAQs About Gas Boiler Installation in Greeley, CO
Do I need a permit?
Yes. Local codes require a permit and inspection to ensure your system is safe and up to code. These steps help confirm your installation meets all local and state regulations.
How long does installation take?
Most installations finish within 1–3 days, depending on your home’s layout and system complexity. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality work.
Can I install a gas boiler myself?
No. For safety, performance, and legal reasons, installation must be done by licensed professionals. DIY installation is not only risky but also violates most building codes.

With proper maintenance, 15–20 years is common for most gas boilers. Regular tune-ups and prompt repairs can help extend that lifespan even further.
