Boilers
Residential Boilers for Chicagoland Homes
Boilers used to be the standard for heating homes in the Chicagoland area. Many homes still use this type of heating system, and like all HVAC products, they eventually need to be upgraded or replaced.
Service Express offers residential boilers from Crown and Lochinvar. Shopping for a new boiler means finding the model that fits your home’s needs. Our team can help you compare models, choose the right one for your home, and handle the installation.

In Need of a New Boiler?
Boilers are common in older Chicagoland homes, and getting a new one when needed is simple because the radiators that distribute heat through hot water or steam are already in place. Our team has experience working with boilers found in many older Chicago-area homes.
If your existing boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it with a properly selected system lets you keep the heating setup your home was designed with. This means that you don’t have to worry about converting a home from hydronic to central heating.

Choosing the Right Boiler for Your Home
Selecting a boiler involves more than choosing a model from a list. There are several factors that come into play once the equipment is installed to ensure it operates properly.
When deciding between boiler models, it is important to consider:
- Heating capacity: The boiler should be sized to your home’s heating needs and have the right capacity to heat your entire home.
- Existing system: Your existing radiators, baseboards, piping, and other components can impact which model is right for your setup.
- Fuel and connections: Your home’s existing connections and available fuel type can influence your equipment options.
- Efficiency: How much energy gets turned into heat can affect your utility bills and how well the boiler heats your home.
- Long-term service: A good warranty and buying your boiler from a reputable supplier means any issues will be handled by experts who are familiar with the equipment.
