How long for a plumber to swap oil furnaces?
I have an older oil burning, hydronic furnace installed in my house, and a much newer one that was pulled out of another building I own. I want to remove the old furnace and hookup the newer one. The newer one was professionally uninstalled, and that tech said it should be "pretty easy" to swap. Everything is stubbed out, so I think its a matter of connecting the supply/return/fill water pipes, oil supply, electrical, and vents.
I do not need haul away on the other furnace or any other services. Everything is in location and easy to work on. I just need someone to disconnect the old one, hook up the new one, and make sure everything is running right. How many hours/how much $$$ would you expect this job to take.

older verse newer is sometimes that simple, but not all the time. Pipe sizing and instillation of the system may be slightly different. Keep that in mind as you go through this process. Finding a guy just to swap them may be harder then you think, they lose money little on jobs like this, especially if it is not just a straight swap out.

an experienced oler plumber will probably charge $250...while a younger plumber will probably charge 400 because hes never seen an oil burning furnance before

A good practitioner should do it in a day. However you will just have to phone around for estimates like we all have to.
