"On Thu, Aug 4, 2016, my 13-year-old Rheem, builder's grade HVAC system stopped working. Since I had experienced good service with Home Comfort (formerly American Comfort) over the last several years (Home Comfort did not sell me my old system; I purchased it from an independent contractor), I called to schedule an appointment regarding different options Home Comfort could offer me. On Sat, Aug 6, I selected an upgraded, high-end, Lennox resort-grade system and emphasized that I wanted an auto-switch thermostat that I had been used to on my previous system (automatically switches between AC and heat as needed). The installation was performed Mon, Aug 8, and took approximately 8.5 hours. When I asked the installers if I had an auto thermostat for the new system, they said yes. They removed the old system, insulated the walls of the furnace closet, and installed and rewired the new system. It all looked wonderful, quickly passed city inspection, worked very quietly, and cooled efficiently. Three months later, on Fri, Nov 18, when temperatures began dropping at night--and the day before I was leaving for a 2-week vacation out of state--I realized that I had a manual thermostat and had to adjust the thermostat to heat. Unfortunately, I also discovered that the heat wasn't working. I double-checked the thermostat and the Lennox manuals to ensure I hadn't overlooked any steps. On Sat, Nov 19, I called for service, but due to short-handed availability of technicians (Customer Service (CS) representative said a couple of technicians had called in sick), they couldn't send anyone until Monday. I was concerned because I had family members (adult and child) in the house while I was gone on vacation. Since I would be on vacation on the day of service, I arranged for someone to be at the house during the window of time provided by the CS representative (2-4 pm because CS rep told me that the technician did not have a heavy schedule that afternoon). On Monday afternoon, the person waiting at my home texted me at 4:15 pm and said no technician had showed up, and I asked that person to call the CS phone number I texted. He did and informed me that the new ETA was 5 pm and that the CS rep told him that the standard service window of time was 1 pm-5 pm. Five pm came and went, and the new ETA from CS was 6 pm. The person canceled the service because he had to leave. My adult family member at home told me when I called to wait to schedule service until I came back from vacation because it was too stressful and unreliable to schedule service. While on vacation, I purchased an auto thermostat at Costco that was the same brand (Honeywell) as the one that Home Comfort installed (I didn't want to fight the issue about an auto thermostat and just wanted it done). My family members used the fireplace and blankets to keep warm at night. I called CS several days (Wednesday) before I returned from vacation (Saturday) to ensure a technician would come first thing Monday morning, Dec 5, and to let them know that I also wanted the technician to replace the thermostat with the one I purchased. The CS rep provided a window of time between 8-10 am. On Dec 5, about 9:30 am, a CS rep called me to let me know that the technician would be there closer to 10 am. He showed up about 10:30 am. It took him about two hours to check everything, rewire the system (it had been mis-wired), and test everything (both heat and cooling). He also had to call the Honeywell CS (15 minutes on Hold) to walk him through the system programming because the technician said it didn't go according to instructions in the manual. Happily, Home Comfort did not charge me a dime for service because it was included under the warranty. The cost in this review was the amount I paid in August for the system."

"The first company we had out to diagnose the issue with our air conditioner quoted us $11,000.00. They said is was our compressor and our entire “system” would need to be replaced. By absolute chance we found Joe on Instagram. Long story short, he saved us $9,000.00. There are not that many companies in the heating and air industry that you can trust. Not only is Joe honest, he is thorough, goes the extra mile and is just an all around great guy!"

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Yes. Boilers need water to run without overheating, also known as dry firing. If you run it without a sufficient volume of water, either because of a burst pipe or a leak, you run the risk of damaging your machine or jeopardizing the safety of your home as a whole. When in doubt, shut off your boiler and repair any plumbing issues before turning it back on. Alternatively, consider installing a low-water cutoff (LWCO) before any issues arise. This gadget will protect your boiler by monitoring water levels and automatically shutting it off if it gets too low. 

Boiler installations and replacements cost between $3,600 to $8,400. Expect to pay around $5,900 on average for a new boiler, including installation. Adding new radiators or heaters to the boiler may include separate costs if you are also upgrading those components, so the final price may be higher. To decrease costs, you can look for local energy rebates for using a boiler and wait until installers are offering discounts for a first-time installation.

The cost-efficiency of baseboard heaters depends on the type and how you use them. Generally, standard electric baseboard heaters can be expensive to run because they use electric resistance heating, which is less energy-efficient than systems like forced-air or heat pumps. However, hydronic and gas versions are typically much cheaper to operate. Hydronic models are more energy-efficient because they heat a liquid that retains warmth longer, preventing the thermostat from turning on and off as often. The overall running cost is also influenced by local electricity rates, your home's insulation, and your usage habits. To increase efficiency, you can use baseboard heaters for zoning, meaning you only heat the specific rooms you are using.

The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics. 

Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.
