Question 1

Oil-To-Gas Boiler Conversions In Older Jamestown Homes

Accepted Answer

A lot of Jamestown's housing stock — especially the older homes north of Narragansett Avenue and through Conanicut Park — was built or last re-piped during the oil-heat era and still runs on a 275-gallon tank and an aging cast-iron boiler. Switching to high-efficiency gas typically pays back in 6-9 winters on a Jamestown home, and frees up the basement space the oil tank was eating. We handle the gas line, the boiler swap and the chimney liner as one job.

Question 2

Annual Boiler Tune-Ups Before Jamestown's Coastal Winters

Accepted Answer

Jamestown winters aren't the coldest in New England in raw degrees, but the wind off Narragansett Bay drives heat-loss in older homes harder than the thermometer suggests, so the boiler runs more cycles than a comparable inland house. A fall tune-up — combustion test, expansion tank check, circulator pump run — is what keeps a January no-heat call from happening. We book Jamestown boiler tune-ups September through November.

Question 3

High-Efficiency Condensing Boilers For Jamestown Energy Costs

Accepted Answer

Rhode Island's residential gas rates are among the highest in the country, and Jamestown homeowners feel that on December-February bills more than most. Modern modulating-condensing boilers running at 95%+ AFUE typically cut a Jamestown home's heating bill 25-35% compared to an old 78% atmospheric unit. We size based on a Manual J load calc — not the BTU rating that was on the old unit, which is almost always oversized for an updated, better-insulated home.
