The situation

Boiler homes are where quotes get complicated

01

Radiators set the limits

Existing radiators and their EDR shape what a replacement can do. Swapping a boiler like-for-like is easy; knowing whether a heat pump can carry the home is not.

02

Oil customers want to know their options

Many oil homeowners are open to a heat pump but nervous about comfort and cost. A single quote for a new oil boiler leaves that conversation on the table.

03

Dual-fuel is hard to explain

Keeping the boiler as backup is often the right answer, but showing how the two systems share the load takes engineering most advisors don't have time for.

How Tradewright fits

Engineering every option, not just the like-for-like

Load calculation

Room-by-room loads for older, leakier homes

Scan the home or upload a plan, correct the geometry, and get a room-by-room Manual J at your design temperature. That is the number a conversion has to meet.

Boiler and radiator home questions

Can Tradewright compare a new boiler against a heat pump?

Yes. The system comparison puts a replacement boiler, a heat pump, a mini-split system and a dual-fuel setup side by side on estimated 15-year cost of ownership, and lists the options it ruled out and why.

Does it handle steam and hot water systems?

Tradewright calculates the home's room-by-room heating load, which is the starting point for sizing either. Our free boiler sizing calculator covers hot water and steam output with notes on radiator EDR.

What about oil-to-heat-pump conversions?

Tradewright can show the homeowner a full heat pump, a dual-fuel option that keeps the boiler as backup, and a like-for-like replacement, priced from your price book, so the conversation is about trade-offs rather than a single quote.

Can I read the existing boiler's nameplate?

Yes. Take a photo of the nameplate and Tradewright reads the existing equipment details into the job.
