"We hired Plumbing Tree to fix an improperly installed flange by the builders of the home. The quote from them was a little high, but calling around it was similar to other plumbers. The plumber agreed that the flange was not installed correctly (rotated 90 degrees) and the bolts were stripped. The first appointment was missed, I got a text message an hour before he was supposed to show up saying that he could no longer make it due to the current job going long. The next day, I got a text right before our installation time window that he would be late. The plumbers were professional and seemed to be doing a good job. They were thorough and cleaned up after themselves well. The sink wasn't caulked as we want to touch up the paint first and he was very kind to actually leave us a tube of caulk and a rag for the job. After the job is done, there are two things that are bothering me. The first was that the flange (double flange to increase the height) was installed in the same 90 degree rotation as the initial one, so honestly I am a bit confused on this (the slots where you are supposed to put the bolts in every single manual on toilets are at the front and back instead of the side and the top and bottom slots were used on the sides instead). The toilet itself is slanted, not perpendicular from the wall (not by a huge amount, but it is noticeable). Since it is caulked down on our new floors, it is going to be permanently off square. Over all, I think they had a good attitude and the job that was quoted for 1 1/2 hours took 2 hours, so not bad there. We are saying we would not hire again due to the rotation of the flange, the inconvenience of rescheduling twice and that the toilet was installed a bit crooked."

"Outstanding family-run company. Efficient, professional, reliable, and friendly service. Jim personally handled my plumbing "emergency" on very short notice, and he absolutely exceeded all expectations. I had a saddle valve - connected to the water heater - fail, and he not only fixed the leak but installed a stronger valve/line to mitigate the risk of another premature failure. Jim Needham Plumbing is a top-tier company that goes above and beyond, and stands behind their work; this is the type of small business I am happy to support and recommend to friends and family."

"Highest recommendation for the Aether Mechanical team for our recent boiler replacement--every detail of the experience was managed professionally and expeditiously, and the entire project was completed in one day. Take a bow Nicholas, Ivan, John, and team--virtuoso performance and a first-rate result! Two days after Christmas we woke up to a cold house and a boiler that would not fire up. Aether Mechanical responded at once by phone and Nicholas arrived onsite from Boulder to our house in SE Denver within two hours. Initial assessment indicated a burnt-out igniter. Nicholas replaced that and discovered during fire-up testing that carbon monoxide levels were *way* above acceptable limits. After repeated tests, the unavoidable conclusion was a cracked firebox, necessitating replacement. We reviewed estimates at three price points, selected one, and Nicholas mobilized his team. During a holiday week, working around challenges with HVAC supply house business hours, the team completed the installation entirely the following day. In spite of an expensive but necessary replacement, this has been singularly the best contractor experience I have had in 25 years living in a mid-century modern house that is starting to require more frequent repairs."

"Every step, from the estimate with the super friendly Ryan, to the final walk-thru with the always professional Gemini, was absolutely top notch. They installed a new furnace, A/C, and tankless water heater and we are very happy with the work and final outcome. The whole crew was wonderful!"

"New Era HVAC was amazing! I own a small business that has a very challenging environment to work around. Jared was extremely professional and minimized the disruption to our routine. We have large warehouse heaters. A few years ago we had one installed by another company. They left a huge mess, took 2 1/2 days to do the work and had no regard for disrupting our business. In contrast, when Jared replaced the second one he was done in one day, left the area clean and neat when he left, and was extremely accommodating with us. We have also had a tankless water heater replaced by New Era and had the same experience. Professional, honest, and reliable - you will not find a better company out there!!"

"Like any plumbing job today, the cost of installation is rough two or three times the cost of the item. This is a product of shortages of skilled help and there is little to be done. If you want it done particularly with any speed you will pay these prices. The cost of a water heater installed is three times what it was only ten years ago."

"These guys are above excellent! I already had estimates from 2 companies for for a new furnace. One was way too high, and I just didn't feel right about the second one. I called One Hour and got an appointment for a quote the following day. Habib came and took all the measurements for the entire project and gave me an exact price for the work. He explained everything I wanted to know, including the high standards their company follows, from getting exactly the right heating capacity to the requirements for every one of their employees: from drug screening and criminal records to excellent work and cleanup. They have a great guarantee, without any of the usual "membership" stuff that many other companies have. (I asked Habib about the lower estimate from the other company, and he showed me that it was only an estimate that could change. So even though it was lower, it could have ended up being much higher.) The next day, Greg and Ryan came and installed the furnace. Wow! They came and did the work quickly, quietly, and efficiently. They cleaned up afterwards. Greg showed me the new furnace and how to use the emergency shut-offs, and how to change the filter. And he explained how to use the thermostat. I appreciate working with companies that are excellent, and I've found one here! I highly recommend them for any heating/cooling needs."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

Steam boilers require flushing at least every six to 12 months to keep them operating effectively for as long as possible. Depending on your water quality and frequency of use, you might need to do this more frequently. The flushing process helps to remove problematic buildup of sediments. While a boiler contractor near you can perform a thorough annual flush, learning how to drain the system yourself means you can do this monthly if you experience speedy mineral accumulation because of hard water. 

While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:

  • When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.

  • You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.

  • Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.

  • Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs. 

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.

Unless they are connected to the same system, boilers and water heaters will both need their own expansion tanks. The only case they wouldn’t have separate expansion tanks is if the boiler is pulling double duty and managing a heating system while also supplying hot water for a home. In which case, you may not need a hot water heater.
