"The team was very knowledgeable, arrived on time, and Frankie made sure I was taken care to what best fit my needs without selling things I didn't need."
"The installers came early with 3 or 4 people and finished at 5pm. Very professional and answered all my questions. They were city certified so I can apply for electric company rebate. I have a 10 year warranty for parts and labor. Very satisfied with the service and equipment."
"Jacob did an excellent job on the install, great price. I also had a freak accident with my ac and Jacob came out no charge to fix it. Also installed a new thermostat for me. Can’t recommend him enough!"
"I am beyond please with Yandi and his team. I was lucky enough to be at a friend's house visiting when his team was there installing an AC unit for her, I was instantly impressed with there professionalism and politeness. I had been needing to replace my A.C. unit but the prices were ridiculously high and so I decided to give Yandi a call. He immediately gave me options, worked with my income and didn't try to oversell me a unit. Within a week I had a new unit installed. I was able to have the same professional team come to my house and was left with such a pleasant experience. I hands down will recommend this company to anyone I know with no doubts that they will deliver exceptionalism. My house is cool and everything is working great!"
"They got the job done in a short period of time that's why I hired them again. I got a leak afterwards and they came back within an hour to fix it and I got a good experience."
"Excellent service and very fair pricing. I won't think of using anyone else for all my AC/Heat maintenance and repairs and will recommend Stewart Air to everyone I know."
"Caleb came out the same day for our residential A/C. He provided excellent professional, friendly service. Spent extra time to troubleshoot and make sure he had identified all the issues, and he talked us through the solutions and options. Followed up a few days later with a text. We'll definitely use Eby again if we need further work."
"Perfect. Ran into a small hitch but fully explained and quickly resolved. They work hard to do it right all employees were patient and very pleasant."
Most experts recommend getting three to five HVAC quotes from licensed, insured, reputable local heating and cooling companies. Getting multiple detailed HVAC quotes (but not too many) lets you compare the equipment, services, and prices of several contractors without being overwhelmed by options. It can also let you see if one contractor’s prices are much higher or lower than the others and give you a chance to ask for clarification. That way, you can weed out any contractors who aren’t providing quality services or materials and find the company that best meets your budget, quality requirements, and long-term goals.
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.
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.
The absence of heating or hot water, unusual noises like banging or gurgling, and visible water leakage are key signs. Abnormal boiler pressure, flame irregularities (for gas boilers), or pilot light issues may also signal trouble. Frequent cycling, soot or staining, and unusual odors, particularly gas-like smells, should not be ignored. Modern boilers often display error codes or lockout mode upon detecting issues. Uneven heating across radiators and rising energy bills without increased usage can further point to problems. Prompt attention to these signs is essential to prevent further damage and ensure safety.
Installation costs range from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on unit size, efficiency rating, and labor.
