Choosing to do a gas boiler replacement or to install a gas boiler in place of another type of heating system, can be a difficult decision. Which is the right kind of gas boiler for you? What's the difference between a cast iron boiler or a fire-tube boiler? Which manufacturer is best? What is the perfect gas boiler size? After all, a system too small won't heat adequately, and a system too large can be a money pit.

Natural gas boilers have many advantages over other types of heating systems, including:

​

• Availability - As natural gas is piped into your home or facility by underground gas lines, there is no need to worry about running out during a particularly nasty winter storm. Relying on oil heat can be dangerous during winter; what happens if your tank runs out and the oil delivery trucks are straight out?

• Cost - Not only is natural gas efficient, but it also costs less than oil. Gas boiler systems, in general, cost less than oil boilers.

• Environmental Impact - Natural gas is cleaner to burn, produces less soot, and has a much greener environmental footprint than oil.

• Convenience - Gas boilers are available in a number of different sizes, with state-of-the-art, easy control for temperature monitoring, automation, and overall operation.
