Burnham Boiler Installation in Metro Vancouver
From cast-iron classics to Alpine condensing — Burnham installation, repair, maintenance, parts and emergency service across Greater Vancouver.
What a Proper Installation Includes
Burnham installs in our region usually mean one of two jobs: a like-for-like ES2 cast-iron replacement where high-temperature radiators and budget call for it, or an Alpine condensing conversion for the efficiency gain. We quote both paths honestly so you choose with real numbers.
A boiler only delivers its rated efficiency when the installation deserves it. Every install we do starts with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation — never just matching the old nameplate — and ends with combustion commissioning against factory spec and a Technical Safety BC gas permit on file.
Every Installation Includes
- ✓ Room-by-room heat-loss calculation and right-sizing
- ✓ Technical Safety BC gas permit and inspection
- ✓ Code-compliant venting and condensate design
- ✓ System flush and water treatment
- ✓ Combustion-analyzer commissioning to factory spec
- ✓ Warranty registration and owner walk-through
Burnham FAQs
Should I replace my old Burnham cast-iron boiler?
Not automatically. If the sections are dry and sound, repairs are often economical. The trade-off is monthly: 80%-class efficiency versus 95% from an Alpine conversion. We assess the sections honestly and price both keeping-it-alive and replacing-it so you decide with real numbers.
How much does a Burnham Alpine cost installed?
Typical Alpine installations in Greater Vancouver run about $7,000–$10,000 installed including the venting conversion from an atmospheric unit. Like-for-like ES2 cast-iron swaps come in lower but stay at 80%-class efficiency.
Do you repair old Burnham boilers?
Constantly — pilots, thermocouples, gas valves, circulators and low-water cutoffs on units often older than the technicians servicing them. As long as the cast iron is sound, we keep them heating safely.
