Sally M. says, "I am amazed at how hard this crew worked today! Geoff arrived on time with a 30 minute courtesy call. He arrived with his brother Collin and Adam. Not only did they work non stop from 9:30- 5:30 in my attic in the summer heat, but they were all professional, courteous and polite ALL day long! Everything was explained clearly to me and they even saved me money on a storage area they were scheduled to build... they found a way to make it very easy for me to do myself while still maintaining full insulation. My home is older with crawl spaces and odd additions. It was a tough work environment which also included a field stone foundation almost 100 years old. Geoff and his crew were thorough, did a quality job and did a great job cleaning up! Plus, I am saving 30% on my heating bill! It is difficult to find individuals with good work ethic these days... they all deserve 10 stars! Thank you Baylies!!!" Read more

How often do I need to service my boiler?

You need to service your boiler every 1 to 2 years in most states, especially since many boilers run on natural gas that can leak from pipes that aren't well-maintained. State laws typically require regular boiler inspections to prevent fire hazards and gas poisoning. Check with your local building department for more information.

How much does a boiler inspection cost?

A boiler inspection costs $70 to $125 and typically doesn't include replacing any parts or repairs unless the service is part of an annual maintenance plan. You should receive a detailed diagnostic report when the inspection is over to keep for your maintenance records. These files are important for any insurance or warranty claims you may need to make in the future.

A complete boiler inspection should check all the following:

  • Full combustion analysis to assess the boiler's efficiency
  • Carbon-monoxide leak tests
  • Testing all electrical connections and thermostat wiring
  • Examining all burners, valves, and exhaust vents
  • Checking the radiators and all connected piping

How much does a boiler service or tune-up cost?

Yearly boiler service with a tune-up cost $200 to $500 for cleaning, general repairs, and a complete inspection. If you need custom part orders for specific brands, then replacement parts sometimes cost extra, depending on the service contract.

Joseph H.
We just had Baylies come in to insulate our attic and doors via MassSave. They were thorough, explained everything fully, did the work quickly and professionally, cleaned up after themselves well, and were careful to wear masks the whole time and work around us while minimizing contact due to COVID-19. We will be asking for you to come back when it's time for any future audit or insulation work!
