Boiler Installation & Replacement in Greenburgh & Hartsdale: what to know
Hartsdale, Edgemont and the rest of unincorporated Greenburgh are mostly postwar colonials, split-levels and ranches. Hot water baseboard with gas boilers is the norm, along with forced-air furnaces in some neighborhoods. Many of these boilers are now 25-30+ years old and are prime candidates for high-efficiency replacement.
The local housing stock
Unincorporated Greenburgh, including Hartsdale and Edgemont, is mostly postwar colonials, split-levels and ranches with hot water baseboard or forced air, plus the large concentration of co-ops around the Hartsdale train station.
