"My family and I just moved to a new home here in west Portland, One day I decided to open up one vent to see what was inside. I was in shock of how filthy my air ducts were! So I called Green Apple duct cleaning, And let me tell you, they new exactly what to do! By far the most professional and hard working group I've ever had clean my air duct system, if their is any problem at all, they will fix it! I have a relatively large house, and only paid 250! It was way cheaper then prices from other companies! I would highly recommend Green Apple to everyone!"

"MGM Construction provided excellent work. Adolfo and Gerardo were responsive and dependable. They completed the work in the time allotted and were willing to complete other house repairs such as floor sanding, window and ceiling repairs, etc. The brothers are so easy to talk with and provided valuable professional advice. Their pricing is reasonable and fair. We will hire them again and highly recommend them to others."

Boiler Repair questions, answered by experts

If you go to turn it counterclockwise and it won’t turn anymore, it’s open. Like most other valves, you should be able to turn a radiator valve counterclockwise (to the left) to open it and clockwise (right) to close it. To close a radiator valve, turn it clockwise until you meet some resistance and can’t turn anymore, but do so carefully to avoid breaking the valve.

Scale from hard water is hard to diagnose until it starts causing problems. If your area has particularly hard water, that’s most likely what your boiler is using. If scale build-up becomes a problem, it starts to cause decreased flow and heating, and eventually, valve failures as valves become blocked. Let boiler professionals know if you’re worried about scale and they can offer advice or implement a solution.

The cost of annual maintenance depends on the type of HVAC system you have. AC service typically costs an average of $200 but ranges from $100 to $550. If your system needs repairs, the price will vary significantly depending on what needs fixing. However, addressing the issues as they arise can prevent further damage to your unit and keep it operating efficiently for much longer.

Signs of needing a new expansion tank include visible leaks and a dull sound when you knock your knuckles against the tank (working tanks should sound hollow). A malfunctioning tank may also sweat with condensation, cause pipes to create loud noises when the system is turned off, and lead to very high-pressure readings on the boiler’s gauges. When in doubt, call for a professional inspection to find the source of the problem.

Once you know where your bleed valves are and how to use them, bleeding out heaters is a quick process. Expect it to take around 10 to 20 minutes, possibly longer if you have a lot of heaters or are still learning how they work. If you have a central bleed valve on your boiler, the process still takes the same amount of time. Make sure you have any keys necessary to turn the bleed valves on. Without bleed valves, the process should take around three hours.
