"Paso Robles Heating and Air Conditioning deserves the highest rating over all others. We obtained 5 bids on our project and only Paso Robles HVAC provided a quality analysis of the products that would work best for our house and of the work that would be required at a reasonable price. Therefore we contracted with them to install our new HVAC system. We worked closely with the owner/manager throughout the process. He was just great! Highly knowledgable and experienced. The work was scheduled and they arrived on time and completed the job as scheduled. The workers were very professional. They new system has been in place since Nov. 2012. We have much lower gas bills and the new A/C worked beautifully. Finally our house maintained a comfortable temperation even through a very hot Summer followed by a very cold winter. They also follow-up on their work and have made two no charge service visits to check on the system, change filters, and do any needed adjustments. I highly recommend them. It is so hard to find a quality contractor, but we really were lucky to have found Paso Robles Heating and Air Conditioning.
"Legacy plumbing provided us with excellent customer service, professionalism & knowledgeable skill set. When I called Drew, he returned my call right away. He answer all my questions. Drew scheduled the tankless water heater conversion right away that fit our schedule. Legacy plumbing also has great prices !! We have built & remodeled several homes and consider Legacy at the top of our contractors list for plumbing."
"I knew it was not going to be cheap, sigh, and it wasn't, but it was about what I expected and the plumber was friendly, professional and was on time, and had the new heater installed very quickly. I was really impressed with the service and will definitely use Big Angelo's for any future plumbing needs. He even reminded me that by going through Angie's List, I received a discount. He was even careful not to harm the mouse who had taken up residence in the water heater closet! Very good experience. "
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"Jim is local. It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job. He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary. For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer, Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area. If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim. I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services. "
"I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was okay. They did a good job, but in the course of trying to sell me another service they pulled up a floor vent and made kind of a mess in my hallway, which I was not super-happy about, but it was not the end of the world. He did not ask me if he could pull up the vent and if he would have asked me I would have told him not to do it. This was the first time I used this company. They were very fast and efficient with the dryer vent cleaning and I have no complaints about that at all. I had a little trouble getting the service scheduled."
"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

If you hear your radiator clanking even when it’s turned off, it’s typically because there’s trapped water or air in the system, causing a pressure buildup. When you hear significant clanking, popping, crackling, or banging in a radiator that’s turned off, you’ll want to bleed the pipes or call in an HVAC specialist to deal with the problem (and prevent it from happening in the future).
You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.
Home Efficiency and Usage:
Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.
Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.
Purchasing Strategies:
Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.
Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.
Many HVAC companies offer free quotes and free estimates for repairs and new HVAC systems. Others offer low-cost quotes or apply the cost of the estimates or diagnostics to your final bill if you hire them. Be aware that some companies advertise free HVAC quotes and recoup the costs by charging more for their services. Free HVAC quotes are never truly free—they cost the company time and effort—so be a good customer. Also understand that you may end up paying for free quotes in another way if you don’t hire a reputable company.
Radiators are a popular home heating choice in older homes, but they are becoming less common in new-construction homes. According to a 2022 report by Elements Visual Capitalist, only around 1.3% of new single-family homes have radiators and similar heating systems, such as baseboard heating.
While they may not be as popular as they once were, radiators today come with more energy-efficient features that can make them practical for modern homeowners.
In some cases, conversion kits are available, but not all boilers are compatible. Conversion may require significant modifications and should only be performed by a qualified professional. Before making a decision, compare conversion costs to the cost of a complete replacement to determine the most cost-effective and reliable option for your home.
