How the job goes
No runaround and no mystery — here's how we run the work from first call to finished job.
01
Size it right
Our plumber looks at your home's actual heat loss — square footage, insulation, windows, Montana design temperatures — and sizes the boiler to the load. Oversized boilers short-cycle and die young; undersized ones never keep up at 20 below.
02
Clear estimate, honest options
You get a written estimate with real options — repair vs. replace, standard vs. high-efficiency — and a straight recommendation on which makes sense for your house and budget.
03
Clean installation
The boiler, piping, zones, and controls go in to manufacturer spec, pressure-tested and purged. Radiant loops and snow-melt zones are balanced so every room — and every square foot of driveway — gets the heat it should.
04
Fire it and walk it
Our plumber fires the system, verifies temperatures and pressures, and shows you the controls, the shutoffs, and what maintenance it actually needs. One-year warranty on the workmanship.

(406) 606-9682- How long does a boiler last in Montana?
- A well-installed, well-maintained boiler commonly runs 15 to 30 years — cast-iron units often even longer. What kills them early is bad sizing, dirty system water, and skipped maintenance. If yours is past 20 years or limping through winters, it's worth having us look at it before it quits in January.
- Should I repair my old boiler or replace it?
- If the repair is small and the boiler has life left, fix it — we'll tell you straight. But when an older unit needs a major component, or it's costing you noticeably more to run each winter, replacement usually wins. You'll get both numbers and an honest recommendation, not a sales pitch.
- What does a new boiler system cost?
- It depends on the size of your home, the efficiency level you choose, and how much of the existing piping can be reused. Rather than quote a range that means nothing for your house, our plumber looks at your system and gives you a firm written estimate — free, with options laid out.
- Is in-floor radiant heat worth it here?
- For Montana winters it's hard to beat — even, quiet heat with no blowing dust, warm floors on below-zero mornings, and efficient operation because the system runs at lower water temperatures. It's easiest to add during construction or a remodel, so plan it early if you're building.
- When should I have my boiler serviced?
- Early fall, before the first real cold snap. A pre-season check catches weak parts, purges air, and verifies the system is ready — far better than discovering a problem the first below-zero night when every heating contractor in Billings is buried in calls.
- Do snow-melt systems really work for driveways?
- Yes — hydronic snow-melt keeps driveways, walks, and steps clear all winter without shoveling or salt damage. The tubing goes in when the concrete is poured, so it's a decision to make before flatwork, not after. If you're pouring new concrete, it's the right time to ask.
