I just had a zone pump replaced for $550 and that was 25% off due to service contract.

My boiler was put in in 1987. But I had some fancy on off electronic gizmo replaced on the burner three years ago. I have baseboard hot water heating.

The guy said I should get a new boiler and wanted to have the salesman call me. He said I could get a modern basic boiler like I have or get a super efficient spiffy model.

I have four zones plus a zone for the hot water heater. Each zone has a dedicated zone pump. I seem to remember paying something like $900 for the whole thing back in 1987 but I may be mistaken. $900 compared to $550 for the zone pump blows my mind. It was evening pricing but still.

He said that now they put a circulating pump that handles all the zones plus zone valves. Is that a better design or is it just a price thing? I would actually need two circulating pumps, one for the water heater.

Any advice or ball park price estimate? I imagine it varies a lot by location. I am in southern new england so probably in the higher priced zone.

Thanks.

Get competitive quotes. Repair technicians are often paid commissions for selling unneeded work.
 
We have hot water by Gas and 5 zones. One circulator pump, and 5 zone heads. We have an indirect-fired Hot Water Heater that has it's own pump. Switched from oil in 2007. The gas company at the time offered new boilers for $500 and I paid another $500 for the gas line from the street. Plumber charged $3000 to switch over...not sure the cost now, but probably 10k or more?
