"I received a phone call almost immediately after requesting service for my boiler. I was scheduled for the very next day, and the work that was done was done quite well. Greg, the service tech who came out, explained to me what he was doing as he was cleaning my boiler. I highly recommend using this company!"

"The guys that came out to do our home energy audit where very professional.  They gave me an overall explanation of what they would be doing and as they did their work they updated me regularly as to what they where about to do next as they completed each part.   They found my boiler was a bit out of spec on the amount of CO2 it was producing and I suggested i have it looked at.  I took them up on getting one of their maintance teams over to look at it and to my surprise they where able to be here before the Home energy audit guys left so they where able to explain what they found face to face.  It turned out to be nothing major just a bent piece of metal a little to close to the flame cause a lose of efficient burn.

"They're actually a sister company to Wesson Energy which is located in Waterbury. Their service has always been very responsive. I've had a couple of occasions where I got dangerously close to empty and they were very responsive about coming out, getting it taking care of, and filling the tanks up. All and all I've had a good experience with them. This coming winter will be my second winter season with them and so far they've been very good. I pre-buy in bulk and it tends to have an affect on the price because propane is priced differently. The more you use and the more applications you have for it the cheaper the price gets. It's not like it is with heating oil because that's priced per gallon no matter what and propane tends to be a little different. They're price is competitive, but a lot of that is market driven and it's really hard for them to really adjust too much. It's not like they have a great deal of control over it. The quality is fine."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Most home boilers will need an expansion tank. That’s because these boilers are closed-loop systems, where the water is trapped. An expansion tank is needed when the boiler heats the water and it expands, allowing air to condense in the tank to make room for the water. Other types of boilers don’t use an expansion tank, such as traditional steam boilers, but these aren’t as common. And hot water tanks may be able to use a pressure release valve instead. When in doubt, call in a pro to take a look.

Some high-quality steam boilers come with 10-year warranties, but a well-installed, properly maintained model can last at least 20 to 25 years. Learning how to clean a boiler, getting an annual professional service, and keeping up with maintenance and repairs on your heating system are all important for getting the most out of your model. 

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.

Hydronic and standard electric baseboard heaters differ in how they operate, their cost, and their performance. Standard convection heaters use electric coils to heat the air directly, while hydronic heaters warm a contained liquid like water or oil, which then radiates heat into the room.

In terms of cost and efficiency, hydronic heaters usually have a higher upfront price but are more energy-efficient and cheaper to run over time. This is because the heated liquid retains warmth, allowing the heater to continue providing heat for a while after the thermostat turns it off. In contrast, electric heaters provide heat more quickly but are less efficient.

Ultimately, the better choice depends on your priorities. If you need a room to heat up fast and have a lower initial budget, an electric heater might be suitable. If long-term energy savings are more important and you don't mind a slower heat-up time, a hydronic heater is likely the better option.

Costs depend on system size, efficiency rating, and additional features like zoning or smart controls.
