Boiler Installation & Repair in Maine & New Hampshire

Quick answer: Local Energy, LLC installs, repairs and services gas, propane and oil-fired boilers, including combi boilers and steam systems, across Maine and New Hampshire. Every new boiler is sized with a Manual J heat loss calculation, and a standard boiler and indirect water heater install typically takes about 4 days.

Most Maine and New Hampshire homes are heated by hot-water (hydronic) boilers feeding baseboards, cast-iron radiators or radiant floors. We install new high-efficiency boilers, repair and tune up existing ones, and service steam systems. When a boiler is near the end of its life, we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair still makes sense.

Boiler Repair and Annual Service

We service most brands of oil-fired boilers and steam systems, and all brands of natural gas and propane units. We recommend a professional tune-up once a year before heating season. Skipping it leads to winter breakdowns and can void manufacturer warranties. See our maintenance plans and our fall boiler maintenance checklist.

Switching From Oil?

If you’re replacing an oil boiler, it may be the right time to switch to propane or natural gas. See Oil to Gas Conversion and Propane vs. Natural Gas vs. Oil. You can also browse our boiler work samples.

Where We Work

We serve homes and businesses from three offices: Gray, Maine (Southern Maine), Belgrade, Maine (Central Maine) and Albany, New Hampshire (Mount Washington Valley). See all of our service areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a boiler installation take?

A standard installation of a new high-efficiency boiler with an indirect water heater typically takes about 4 days from start to finish, including removing the old equipment, piping, venting and testing.

Why does boiler size matter?

An oversized boiler short-cycles, turning on and off rapidly. That wears out parts faster and wastes fuel. We use a Manual J heat loss calculation to size every boiler to your home.

What warranty comes with a new boiler?

We back every new boiler installation with a 2-year labor warranty in Maine and New Hampshire, with an active annual maintenance agreement. Manufacturer warranties on the boiler itself vary by brand.

What is a combi boiler?

A combi boiler provides both home heating and on-demand hot water from one wall-mounted unit, so you don’t need a separate water heater tank.

Do you service steam systems?

Yes. We service most brands of oil-fired boilers and steam systems.
