Why Do So Many Boiler Replacements Disappoint Homeowners?
Because the new boiler was sized to the house rather than to the radiators. That sounds like a technicality, and it is the single biggest reason a replacement leads to banging pipes, uneven rooms and a gas bill that barely moved. A steam system does not care how many square feet your house has. It has to fill every radiator connected to it, and the boiler has to match that connected radiation almost exactly. Fit one that is too large, as many contractors do out of caution, and it will short cycle and hammer for the next twenty years.
Teva HVAC LLC surveys the radiators before we quote a boiler system. We count the sections and tubes, total the equivalent direct radiation, and select a boiler whose net rating matches it. Then we pipe it exactly as the manual shows, because modern boilers are far smaller than the ones they replace and rely on correct near boiler piping to deliver dry steam. That approach costs us more time at the survey stage and saves you the callbacks that make people distrust their heating.
We replace old, rusty pipes with modern materials to ensure hot water flows quietly and quickly through your floors.
Moving away from oil tanks makes your heating system safer, cheaper to run, and much easier to maintain annually.
Help is always available if your unit acts up, giving your family extra security during freezing nights.

Why Choose Teva HVAC for Your Boiler System
Sized to Your Radiators, Not a Rule of Thumb
We survey and total your radiation before selecting equipment, because matching the boiler to the system is what stops short cycling and hammering.
We Work on Steam, Not Just Around It
Steam heating needs different knowledge from forced air, and plenty of contractors avoid it entirely rather than learn it.
Combustion Tested Before Handover
Draft, combustion air and carbon monoxide readings are taken at startup, because a gas appliance that fires is not the same as one that vents safely.

Can Your Home Run a High Efficiency Condensing Boiler?
Often yes, and the reason is a happy accident of old construction. A condensing boiler only reaches its advertised efficiency when the water returning to it is cool, which means running your radiators below the 180 degree temperature they were originally designed around.
Many Philadelphia homes were generously over-radiated when built, and insulation and replacement windows have cut the heat they need since, so those large cast iron radiators can often deliver enough warmth at lower temperatures. Every few degrees you drop the water temperature trims the fuel bill further. It has to be checked with a radiator count first, and regular servicing keeps it performing, as our HVAC maintenance checklist explains.
