"Our brand new system was not heating properly. Gary (FIVE STAR EMPLOYEE) came and fixed a problem. It was not straight forward and he had to do a bit of research, but he made it work better than it ever had!. He came back the next day and changed the filter and rec-hecked the system. We were warm and snug after his dedicated service! Thanks for the GREAT experience."

"On estimate
Rich was prompt, friendly and professional. He was straight with me and honest. 

Another HVAC company told me I had to install pumps to each unit (I have 3) to help the flow of water (a total of $600). Rich explained to me that all that was needed were some "T" pvc for venting ($0.39 each) that he had on hand. Since it was a quick task, he put them in for free.

He gave me a price that was $1,200 LESS than another estimate.

On the work
He called the day before letting me know the weather looked bad on the day of the install - depending on the weather, he might have to do it the following day. I really appreciated that notice given I have tenants. It was very professional.

When the weather was better, he showed up- as promised - and he kept in communication with me.

A few hours after he left it wasn't cooling the apt. We chatted by text even though it was late. He came out the next day without complaint and fixed the problem. All the while keeping me informed.

Overall
Although the install was a bit bumpy, he never complained, was considerate, easy to work with and treated me very well.

He has earned a customer for life.

Boiler Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.

Home Efficiency and Usage:

  • Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.

  • Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.

Purchasing Strategies:

  • Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.

  • Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.

Yes, it is generally safe and effective to turn off radiators in unused rooms to save money on heating costs. This practice is especially beneficial with older heating systems. However, you should avoid cranking up the thermostats on the remaining radiators to compensate, as this can lead to higher heating bills and increased wear and tear on your system. While some HVAC specialists argue that modern, efficient boilers are designed to heat the entire home and work best when all radiators are on, turning off radiators in unused spaces still reduces the total amount of hot water your system needs to produce.

There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.

The best way to save money on HVAC repairs is by regularly having your system inspected and maintained. This can prevent bigger problems and costly repairs and replacements in the future. It’s also smart to buy quality equipment and hire companies that provide warranties on equipment and labor. If you need repairs, you may be able to save money by cashing in on rebates and incentives or keeping the area around your HVAC unit clear to shorten the time your contractor needs to spend in your home.
