Budgetary Boiler Pricing Information
This page has been created to assist students that require only
conceptual numbers for projects or for anyone that only requires
budgetary type boiler price information. No prices are firm. Prices from
different manufacturers may vary significantly depending on options.
The following assumptions have been used:
- price for firetube boiler only, no auxiliary equipment included
- natural gas and #2 fuel oil standard emissions duel fuel burner
- 150 psig design pressure
- standard boiler trim included
- prices are FOB factory
- no taxes or other expenses included
1) Boiler Size, Performance, Price and Dimentions
2) Most packaged boilers will include this standard trim specification:
- ASME Code Construction
- Main Steam Pressure Gauge
- Saftey Relief Valves
- Operating High Pressure Limit
- Water Level Controls:
- Float Type Primary Pump Control and Low Water Cut Out
- Probe Type Secondary LWCO
- Blowdown Valves
- Burner Controller with Flame Safeguard
- Junction Box with Level Control Relay
- Water Gauge Set on Water Column
- Rear Observation Port
- Insulated and Jacketed Exterior
- Handhole Openings per ASME Code
- Fabricated Steel Base
3) Don't forget to add the accessory components if required:
A boiler requires other machinery for its operation. This equipment is:
- Water softener
- Boiler feedwater system including feedtank and feedpumps
- Chemical treatment equipment
- Boiler economizer
- Blowdown equipment
- Condensate return system
- Natural gas or fuel oil supply equipment
Adding these components will increase the price of the project by 30% to 60% the
cost of the boiler itself on average.
4) Installation is another factor:
The cost of installing a boiler is difficult to estimate. Many factors such as ease
of installation in the facility, demolition of old equipment, different labor
expenses, and other considerations make a guess at the installation price difficult.
For conceptual information, assume the installation price will run 50% to 100% of the
cost of all of the boiler equipment purchased.
