That is why contractors and homeowners come to us. The equipment is here in Philadelphia, on the floor, ready for pickup during business hours.
Boiler inventory is limited and changes often. Units move quickly, and what is here this morning may be gone by Thursday.

We are open 8am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. Delivery is available at $3 per mile.
Boilers Available at Our Philadelphia Supply House
Our boiler lineup centers on 80K BTU natural gas residential heating boilers. That is not an accident. It is the most common replacement size for Philadelphia row homes and twins, and it is what local contractors ask for most.
New Yorker Cast Iron Water Boilers
80K BTU New Yorker Cast Iron Water Boiler CL3-105
The New Yorker CL3-105 is a cast iron sectional water boiler built for hydronic heating systems. It runs on natural gas at 80,000 BTU input.
The unit includes a thermal purge feature. Before the boiler fires, it circulates residual warm water already sitting in the heating loop. That recovers heat you already paid for instead of burning new fuel to make it again.
Contractors reach for cast iron for one reason: it lasts. The mass holds heat, the sectional construction is repairable, and these units stay in service for decades in older Philadelphia housing stock.
Why New Yorker Holds Up in Philadelphia Homes
Most of the heating systems in this city were not designed yesterday. Radiator loops and hot water baseboard are everywhere, and the piping in the walls is usually fine even when the boiler is finished.
A cast iron sectional design fits that reality. The existing distribution stays in place. You swap the heat source, not the whole system, and the job stays within a realistic budget.
Our New Yorker equipment is natural gas fired. If you are running an aging oil boiler, an oil to gas conversion is a common move in this region, and the cast iron path is a straightforward way to make it. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that replacing an older, inefficient heating unit is one of the more effective ways to cut what a home spends on heat.
Call us and we will tell you what New Yorker equipment is on the floor.
HTP Tankless Hot Water and Heating Boilers
HTP UFT-80W Tankless Hot Water and Heating Boiler, 80 KBTU/hr Natural Gas
The HTP UFT-80W is a Universal Fire Tube medium mass residential boiler. It mounts on the wall and runs on natural gas.
The specifications:
- Modulating gas condensing design
- 316L stainless steel fire tube heat exchanger
- 95% AFUE rating
- Built in gas leak detector
- Ultra low NOx emissions
- Handles space heating and domestic hot water from a single wall mounted unit
That last point is the one homeowners tend to focus on. One appliance, one gas line, one vent, covering both the radiators and the shower.
When a Condensing Tankless Boiler Makes Sense
Philadelphia basements are not generous. In a row home, the utility area is often a corner behind the stairs, and a floor standing boiler plus a separate water heater eats the entire footprint. A wall mounted unit gives that floor space back.
Modulation is the other advantage. Instead of firing at full output and shutting off, a modulating boiler throttles its flame to match what the house actually needs at that moment. Less cycling means less wear and less wasted fuel.
At 95% AFUE, the UFT-80W sits in high efficiency territory. ENERGY STAR certification for gas boilers starts at 90% AFUE, and the U.S. Department of Energy explains that condensing units reach these numbers by pulling heat out of exhaust gases that a conventional boiler simply sends up the flue.
One caution. A condensing boiler does not vent like an atmospheric cast iron unit. It needs its own dedicated venting path and a condensate drain. Have your contractor confirm the venting route before you buy.

- Water Heaters for jobs where the boiler handles heat only and hot water stays on its own appliance.
- Furnaces for forced air replacements where a boiler is not the right call.
- Air Handlers and Condensers for homes adding cooling alongside a hydronic heat system.
- Electrical Supplies for the disconnects and whips the install needs.
Fewer stops. One invoice. One trip.

Boilers Explained for Philadelphia Homeowners
How a Boiler Differs From a Furnace
A boiler heats water and moves it through radiators or baseboard. A furnace heats air and moves it through ducts. Both keep the house warm, but they are entirely different systems.
If your home has radiators and no ductwork, you have a boiler. The U.S. Department of Energy describes these as hydronic systems, and in most older Philadelphia homes, replacing like for like is the practical route. Converting a radiator house to forced air means running ductwork through finished walls, which is a different project at a different price.
Cast Iron vs Condensing Tankless
| Feature | Cast IronNew Yorker CL3-105 | Condensing TanklessHTP UFT-80W |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting | Floor standing | Wall hung |
| Footprint | Larger, needs floor space | Compact, frees the floor |
| Efficiency | Mid efficiency | 95% AFUE |
| Domestic hot water | Separate water heater needed | Included |
| Venting | Conventional flue | Dedicated venting and condensate drain |
| Best fit | Straightforward retrofit on existing loops | Tight utility space, efficiency priority |
What AFUE Actually Measures
AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. It tells you how much of the fuel you buy becomes usable heat across a full heating season, with the rest lost up the flue.
The math is direct. A boiler at 80% AFUE turns 80 cents of every fuel dollar into heat in your radiators. A 95% AFUE unit turns 95 cents into heat. Over a Philadelphia winter, where the heating season runs hard from November into March, that gap shows up on every bill.
ENERGY STAR certifies gas boilers at 90% AFUE and above. The U.S. Department of Energy publishes minimum efficiency standards that all new equipment must meet.
Permits and Code for Boiler Replacement in Philadelphia
Boiler replacement in Philadelphia generally requires a mechanical permit. Permits are issued through the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections, and gas work must be performed by a properly licensed contractor.
Statewide, construction work falls under the Uniform Construction Code, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
Here is what that means at our counter. We sell the equipment. Your licensed installer pulls the permit and does the gas work. Homeowners are welcome to buy from us, and many do, but the installation side needs a licensed contractor to keep the job legal and insurable.
Boiler Questions From Philadelphia Buyers
Do you sell boilers to homeowners or only contractors?
Both. We are a wholesale supply house, and we sell to licensed contractors and to homeowners. Homeowners should plan on a licensed contractor for the installation and gas work.
Where can I buy a boiler in Philadelphia today?
Our supply house is at 10011 Sandmeyer Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19116, open 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday. Call (267) 517-8647 before you drive out so we can confirm the unit you need is on the floor.
Do you carry oil fired boilers?
Our boiler lineup is natural gas fired. Inventory changes, so call and tell us what you are working with. If you are replacing an aging oil unit, we can talk through what an oil to gas conversion looks like.
Do you supply commercial boilers in Philadelphia?
Our boiler equipment is residential and light commercial. Call us with the project details and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it.
What is the difference between a tankless boiler and a tankless water heater?
A tankless water heater only makes domestic hot water for your faucets and showers. A tankless boiler heats your home through radiators or baseboard, and units like the HTP UFT-80W do both from one appliance.
Can one boiler handle both my heat and my hot water?
Yes. The HTP UFT-80W is built for exactly that, covering space heating and domestic hot water from a single wall mounted unit.
Do I need a permit to replace a boiler in Philadelphia?
Generally yes. Boiler replacement typically requires a mechanical permit through the Department of Licenses and Inspections, and gas work must be done by a licensed contractor.
How do I know what size boiler I need?
Have your contractor run a heat loss calculation using ACCA Manual J. That accounts for your insulation, windows, and layout instead of guessing from square footage.
