Boiler replacement in Dover is not a furnace quote with a different name. Brick mill buildings and the older streets around the Cochecho were not designed for ducts. Radiators and baseboard are common. Later streets mix capes and colonials on oil or gas. Converted mill space crams equipment into closets. Steam and hot water are different jobs. Northern Utilities is the gas map that applies here more often than Liberty's Merrimack Valley list. Unitil electric territory covers much of the seacoast. Confirm both on the bills. A heat pump instead of a new boiler is a real conversation where there is no gas main, and it still has to heat the rooms the radiators heat now. Outdoor equipment needs to sit above snow that slides off a mill roof or a steep house roof. Salt air reaches Dover on some storms, and coils and disconnects corrode. The City of Dover has its own building officials. Ask which permit a boiler or furnace replacement needs, and what an inspector will want on a vent leaving a mill building. Ask about the chimney, the indirect water heater, and who files the permit. The contractor quotes the job. Confirm license and insurance.
