Rinnai combi boiler installed with full hydronic piping — 360 Install Solution

    High Efficiency Boiler Installation

    Upgrade to a modern condensing boiler for radiant floor heating, baseboard radiators, or hydronic systems. Maximum comfort with minimum energy waste.

    Is This Right for You?

    Here are the most common situations where homeowners choose this system.

    Replacing an old standard boiler

    Old boilers waste 15-25% of energy. A modern condensing boiler captures that waste heat, dramatically lowering gas bills.

    Homes with radiant floor heating

    Condensing boilers are ideal for low-temperature radiant systems, providing even heat distribution across your floors.

    Hydronic baseboard or radiator systems

    Keep your existing hydronic distribution while upgrading the heat source to a dramatically more efficient boiler.

    Combi boiler for heating + hot water

    Eliminate your separate water heater with a combi boiler that provides both space heating and on-demand domestic hot water.

    Key Benefits

    95%+ AFUE Efficiency

    Condensing boilers extract maximum heat from combustion gases, wasting almost nothing.

    Even, Radiant Heat

    Hydronic heating provides the most comfortable, even heat distribution — no cold spots or drafts.

    Combi Option

    Combi boilers provide space heating and unlimited on-demand hot water from a single compact unit.

    Compact Design

    Wall-mounted boilers free up valuable floor space compared to bulky old boiler systems.

    Licensed & Permitted

    All boiler installations include TSBC gas permits, safety inspections, and warranty registration.

    Quiet Operation

    Modern boilers with modulating burners operate nearly silently compared to older cast-iron units.
