Boiler Installation in Richmond, VA
You might not think it, but a high-quality installation is one of the most important steps in making sure your boiler lives a long, happy life. If you don’t ensure your boiler is correctly installed, you’re risking many boiler repairs in the future and maybe complete system failure.
Not to mention that many manufacturers require a professional installation to uphold their system’s warranty. An incorrect installation, or an installation not performed by a professional, could result in a voided warranty. Your best bet is to leave your boiler’s installation in the hands of a certified technician, like the ones at F.H. Furr.

Why Should I Replace My Old Boiler & Install a New One?
It may be tough to determine the right time to replace your old boiler with a new one rather than keep calling for repairs. However, the F.H. Furr team can’t emphasize enough how important it is to ensure your space has a new, modern boiler.
There are many benefits to boiler replacement and installation, including:
- Newer boilers operate much more quietly. Tired of your old boiler clanking around and making a lot of noise? Newer boilers have an improved design and cutting-edge technology that make them almost silent.
- Your home’s efficiency will increase significantly. Ready for your energy bill to go down? A new boiler will do the trick. Newer boilers put out much more heat, meaning your system won’t be working overtime and costing you more.
- You’ll be helping the environment. New boilers use less fuel than older ones, which means you’re emitting fewer greenhouse gases into the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I repair my own boiler?
Boilers are gas-operated appliances and can be extremely dangerous if not properly repaired. It’s not recommended to attempt DIY repairs on a boiler due to the safety risk.
How long do boilers last?
When boilers are properly installed and maintained, they have an average life span of 15–20 years. Annual boiler maintenance by a qualified professional is recommended to reduce repair needs and extend the life of your boiler.
How do you install a boiler heating system?
Determining the appropriate location for the boiler is as important as choosing the right model. The boiler must be close enough to water lines, gas lines, an electrical outlet, and a flue.
Once the location is determined, the appropriate pipes are installed on the boiler and connected to the main water supply. The boiler is then connected to your home electrical supply and tested to ensure there are no leaks.
Lastly, a vent pipe is connected for ventilation, necessary adjustments are made, and the boiler is retested for correct operation.
How do I adjust the water pressure on my boiler?
Before re-pressuring your boiler, check the boiler manual for the manufacturer’s instructions. Each boiler is different and may require different steps. If you need to repressurize your system regularly, there may be a leak or vessel expansion, and it’s best to call a professional.
The ideal pressure for a boiler is typically between 1 and 2 bars. Check the boiler gauge; if it’s above two bars, the pressure should be reduced. Switch off the boiler and allow it to cool.
Ensure the relief valve is tightly closed and bleed the radiators to release the trapped air. Recheck the gauge to confirm that the pressure was reduced.
If the pressure is below 1 bar, turn off the boiler and let it cool. Check the filling loop and ensure both ends are secure. Open the two valves until the pressure reaches 1.5 bars. Close the valves one at a time and turn the boiler back on. Undo the filling loop to catch any remaining water left in the loop.
What should I do if my boiler is leaking?
There are many reasons your boiler can leak water, including pipe corrosion, a faulty safety valve, or an incorrect setting on the pressure relief valve. If your boiler is leaking water and left unattended, it can lead to mildew, fungus, structural damage, increased electric bills, and safety risks.
It’s best to call a professional for a full inspection and repair.
