"They did good work. I have a boiler and their boiler man was excellent. I will call them in the fall again. I did not compare prices because I wanted this particular company. He was very professional. I had a problem with the wording of the coupon, it didn't mean what I thought it did. I thought a furnace cleaning would be considered a service call. A service call is for a repair."

"Our boiler went out over a holiday weekend. All Temp was quick to reply to my inquiry and quick to send someone out. Our boiler was assessed and they replaced the boiler and old pipes within a day. They were the most reasonable in town and they did an excellent job. Everyone we worked with was very professional."

"Tim came out for an estimate. He was professional and knowledgeable. Not pushy at all. On the day of installation, he and his team were respectful, efficient, and left our home clean. He thoroughly explained everything, and programmed the thermostat for us. We will use them for all future maintenance. Highly recommend."

"Within 5 minutes after Roy walked in, I knew I was speaking with an expert. He talked me out of wasting money on what I wanted (getting rid of boiler and replying on furnace) telling me about how everyone in the city during -40 degree nights was will freeze and if I keep the boiler I'll be comfy. He also talked me out of choosing a heat pump, saying in Chicago it will cause problems in the dead of winter and then I'll be out of luck. Initial estimate was only to replace the 60 year oil leaky boiler and 40 year old loud AC and furnace. Came in, did the work quickly, and when we were doing final inspection he pointed out where my last remaining original furnace was having problems. Gave me a great price to just get the the last furnace and AC done (AC was 40 years old). I know they won't be the cheapest but if you want someone you can trust who will guide you with his 30 years of experience and teach you the finer details of heating and cooling while delivering quality work, go with Porterhouse. I won't trust anyone else."

"Technician came after hours to give us a 2nd opinion on our old boiler. I was told by another company that the draft wasn’t working properly and had the potential to leak CO2. Technician, Craig, was very thorough checked everything and taught us a lot about how it works. It was expensive because it was after hours but that’s expected. I definitely will be using them again."

"Jon showed up at 7:00 am on the dot, exactly 2 days after his initial visit to install my new 2 stage carrier furnace. The price included the materials to raise the unit, the necessary metal work for the ducts, and a new thermostat. The people who installed the first thermostat installed an incorrect one not suited for a 2 stage furnace. He removed and disposed of the old furnace and installed the new one without incident. Jon took the time to walk me through the use of a programmable thermostat and where to place the filters. My basement was left immaculate."

"The boiler had needed some replacement pipes as well as the solution to the slight smell of gas when near the boiler itself. Prior to calling for service for these issues, I had removed the majority of the damaged piping and purchased all new of what I was able to remove. I couldn't remove the bushing that attaches directly to the boiler or the nipple that attached to that bushing to save my life. On the night prior to the day of my appointment, there was a snow storm and time moved ahead. I had forgotten to move my clocks ahead that resulted in my arriving about 20 minutes late. The repairman was kind enough to not only wait for my arrival, but to shovel part of the snow from my walkway that leads to the basement. This guy is just great. He removed the fused together bushing and nipple in no time flat. It was amazing for me to watch. I had to pick up a couple more pieces of pipe for my job to be completed and we scheduled to continue after I did so. Luckily, The pipe I needed was in stock and he was able to return the very next day, he removed my bushing and nipple, installed ALL of my pipes, and provided and replaced my leaking gas line. MY BUILDING NOW HAS HEAT AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! Now I have to have the other parts of the building repaired that were damaged from when the boiler had stopped working and a pipe had burst. You won't be disappointed if you hire Discovery Heating and Cooling. If I have another related job in the future, I will definitely call Discovery. Thanks again Discovery."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.

Always consult your manual for specific pressure numbers. Many expansion tanks come pre-pressurized at a specific PSI range, anywhere from 12 to 40 PSI, designed for a range of home boilers. You should not have to pressurize an expansion tank yourself, only the boiler system. If your system has a tank that needs to be manually pressurized, this is generally a job for professionals and their tools.

To figure out if your boiler is worth repairing or if you need to replace your boiler, first figure out how old the unit is. Boilers last 15 to 20 years, so if your unit is 15 years old or older, it may be better to replace the entire thing depending on the severity of the problems. If it’s not quite that old, then it’s probably worth repairing. Another thing to consider is whether your warranty covers any of the repair costs. If so, it may be worthwhile to repair your boiler to keep it running.

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.
