    Our Expert Review

    First-hand experience from our Nassau County installation team.

    Laars brings decades of pool heating expertise to residential boilers, making them uniquely suited for homes with hydronic complexity. Founded in 1948 and now part of Bradford White, they understand multi-zone applications better than most competitors. We install Laars in Colonials with multiple heating zones throughout Syosset, Woodbury, and Plainview.

    The Mascot FT condensing boiler handles complex multi-zone configurations that challenge lesser systems. Parts availability through the Bradford White network ensures same-day repairs at most local distributors. The fire-tube heat exchanger handles Long Island's hard water better than plate-style alternatives.

    Laars excels where pools meet home heating. For properties with pool houses or heated outdoor spaces, their commercial pool heating background translates to residential applications. The 10-year heat exchanger warranty provides solid coverage for condensing technology.

    Our bottom line: Laars delivers specialized expertise for complex heating applications, particularly multi-zone homes and properties with pool heating. If your heating system demands more than a basic boiler, Laars' commercial heritage provides the engineering depth required. All condensing models qualify for PSEG rebates at 95-96% AFUE.
