Job Overview
• Location: Albuquerque, NM
• Client Type: Residential homeowner
• Scope: Partial HVAC system replacement including a boiler upgrade
• Equipment Installed: Navien NFB Series 95% High-Efficiency Condensing Heating Boiler
• Additional Work: System reconnections, testing, and integration with existing cooling equipment
• Why It Mattered: The older boiler was failing and unable to provide consistent heating, putting comfort and reliability at risk
What We Found
During our diagnostic review, we found that the existing boiler had reached the end of its service life. It struggled to deliver steady heat, and several components showed clear signs of wear. Our customer’s existing cooling system included a package unit, evaporative cooler, and three cooling-only mini split systems, all installed at different times. The heating boiler and a 64.5-gallon indirect water heater had been installed 11 months prior but required replacement due to performance concerns and system failure.
The Solution
We removed the failing boiler and prepared the mechanical area for the new installation. Our team installed a Navien NFB Series 95% high-efficiency condensing heating boiler, ensuring proper venting, gas connections, and hydronic plumbing. We reconnected the system to the existing indirect water heater and cooling equipment, then verified all control wiring and safety features. Once installation was complete, we pressurized the system, bled air from the lines, and performed a full startup test to confirm strong heating output and stable operation. Final checks included sensor verification, temperature consistency, and efficiency tuning.
The Results
With the new high-efficiency boiler in place, Dr. Martinez now has dependable, consistent heating throughout his home. The system operates quieter, warms faster, and works seamlessly with the existing cooling equipment. The upgrade delivered better comfort, improved energy efficiency, and long-term reliability the homeowner can count on.
