Boiler Installation in the Grand Rapids Area
A boiler installation is more complex than a furnace swap — it requires expertise in piping, zoning, and hydronic system design. Mazure's has been designing and installing boiler systems for homes and businesses across West Michigan since 1987. We build systems that last decades.
System Design
Every boiler installation starts with proper system design. We calculate heat loss for each zone, size the boiler correctly, design the piping layout, select the right circulators and zone valves, and ensure the expansion tank and safety controls are properly configured.
Radiant Floor Heating
We specialize in radiant floor heating — the most comfortable and efficient way to heat a home. We install PEX tubing in new construction slabs, staple-up systems for existing homes, and wall-mounted radiant panels. Pair it with a high-efficiency condensing boiler for maximum comfort and minimum energy use.
Brands We Install
We install Utica, Burnham, Weil-McLain, Buderus, Viessmann, and Lochinvar boilers. From standard atmospheric units to high-efficiency condensing boilers with 95%+ AFUE ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a new boiler cost?
- Boiler installations typically range from $5,000 to $12,000+ depending on the system complexity, number of zones, and whether radiant floor heating is included. We provide free estimates.
- Is a boiler more efficient than a furnace?
- Modern condensing boilers can reach 95-98% AFUE — comparable to high-efficiency furnaces. Boilers paired with radiant floor heating are often perceived as more comfortable because they heat evenly without blowing air.
