Weil-McLain Boiler Replacement & Upgrades
From legendary cast iron to Evergreen condensing — Weil-McLain installation, repair, maintenance, parts and emergency service across Greater Vancouver.
Repair or Replace? Real Numbers, Honest Advice
If your CGa or EG cast-iron unit is finally done after decades of service, the natural path is an Evergreen — similar robust character, 15 points more efficiency, and venting flexibility that simplifies the retrofit. We handle removal of the (very heavy) old unit, disposal, and the full conversion.
Our rule of thumb across brands: if the unit is 15+ years old and the repair quote passes $600–$800, price a replacement before you commit — efficiency savings of 15–20% often recover the cost faster than another round of aging-unit repairs. We quote both paths so you decide with real numbers, and we handle rebate paperwork on qualifying high-efficiency installs.

Weil-McLain FAQs
My Weil-McLain cast-iron boiler is 30 years old — repair or replace?
If the heat exchanger sections are sound, simple fixes (thermocouple, gas valve, circulator) are often still worthwhile. But at 80%-class efficiency you pay roughly 15% more gas than a condensing replacement every month. Our rule of thumb: repair if it is under ~$600 and the sections are dry; price an Evergreen replacement if repairs are stacking or the sections leak.
How much does a Weil-McLain Evergreen cost installed?
Typical Evergreen installations in Greater Vancouver run about $7,000–$10,500 installed, reflecting the conversion work from atmospheric venting to condensing. High-temperature radiator homes usually need no radiation changes, which keeps the project contained.
Do you service old Weil-McLain boilers?
Yes — cast-iron CGa and EG units are a regular part of our service week: pilots, thermocouples, low-water cutoffs, circulators and zone controls. We keep them running safely as long as the sections are sound.
