Burnham Alpine ALP150
Model Number: ALP150
Top-tier Burnham condensing boiler delivering 95% AFUE for maximum efficiency.
Technical Specifications
Prices depend on sizing, venting and piping in your home, so we quote every installation.
Sizing: the right size comes from a room-by-room heat-loss calculation, not the size of the old boiler or a rule of thumb. Oversized boilers short-cycle and waste fuel; steam systems are sized to the connected radiation instead. See how we approach boiler installation.

Expert Review: Burnham Alpine ALP150
The Burnham Alpine ALP150 represents the best of American condensing boiler technology. At 95% AFUE with modulating output, it delivers premium efficiency while maintaining the reliability Burnham has been known for since 1873.
Why We Install the Alpine Across Nassau County
The Alpine's stainless steel fire tube heat exchanger is designed for the demands of residential heating. The modulating burner adjusts continuously from 20% to 100% capacity, providing precise temperature control across multiple zones. This eliminates the temperature swings and fuel waste of single-stage boilers.
Best Applications for Long Island Homes
The ALP150 (150,000 BTU) is our most popular size for typical 2,000-3,000 square foot Nassau County homes. It handles 4-6 zone systems common in expanded Cape Cods and split-levels throughout Hicksville, Bethpage, and Massapequa. For larger homes in Manhasset or Great Neck, we step up to the ALP210 or ALP285.
Efficiency and Savings
At 95% AFUE, the Alpine captures heat that older 80% AFUE boilers waste. For a typical Long Island home spending $2,500 annually on heating, this represents savings of $375-$500 per year. The Alpine qualifies for PSEG rebates up to $750, accelerating payback to 3-4 years in most cases.
Durability Considerations
The Alpine features a 20-year limited warranty on the stainless steel heat exchanger—among the longest in the industry for condensing units. Annual maintenance is essential: the heat exchanger and burner assembly require cleaning to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage. We recommend our Annual Tune-Up service for all Alpine installations.
Smart Features
The Alpine includes an outdoor reset sensor that adjusts water temperature based on exterior conditions. Colder days get hotter water; mild days get cooler water. This prevents overheating and maximizes efficiency. The unit is also compatible with most Wi-Fi thermostats for remote control.

Sizing & Installation Notes
Condensing boilers like the Alpine ALP150 reach their rated efficiency only when return water runs cool enough to condense flue gases. We check your radiation and design water temperatures so the unit actually condenses in your home, not just on the spec sheet.
