"My son and his wife who have three boys (one sick with the flu as the time) called me on a very cold February morning with his family homeless and a very cold house. After dealing with Home Comfort Systems, this is what he wrote and asked me to post: : While it was still very cold out,we smelled gas in our house. Nicor had us all evacuate. The next day, my parents recommended I call Home Comfort Systems the company which installed their new furnace a few years ago. Steve Bilica, one of the owners came out to my house before 10AM to provide me with a quote. The price was fair, I could tell he was honest and although he could've ripped me off easily as I was in desperate need. He offered fair payment options that worked with my tight budget. He contacted his supplier who delivered the new furnace before noon. A team of two brothers arrived by 1PM and began installation. They were extremely polite, considerate of my house, clean, efficient and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. By 4PM it was done and I had heat again. They even went the extra mile with some requests we had including removing an old, useless house-humidifier that was taking up space. Nothing extra for that. I was so relieved and glad that we could get back to normal and grateful to Steve and his company for their help."

"Went very well. Nice guys, professional and respectful. Installed top equipment. Not the cheapest price I got, but seemed the most up front and honest. Great customer service when I had a minor adjustment issue a few weeks later."

"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."

"It went quite well. The technicians (yes, two) showed up close to the scheduled time (there was a window allowed for arrival) and got right to work. They checked the furnace and determined there were no problems and moved on the boiler (we have both forced-air and baseboard heating). There was a problem with the thermocouple and I authorized replacement. All done and gone in roughly an hour. Well done."

"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."

"Tim came out promptly, made a diagnosis and explained it so that I could understand, and arranged for a replacement the following day. David and David arrived the following day on time and, unfortunately there was 3 feet of snow blocking their path to getting my boiler out and the heavy cast iron boiler in. They worked together to shovel a path, and then worked continuously through the day until the job was done. David did a great job of explaining the workings of the boiler and left the place mess-free."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

All modern boilers are condensing boilers because they’re the most efficient type. Instead of extra heat leaving through the flue, these boilers trap the heat and use it to heat the house. Whether you choose a combi boiler, system boiler, or regular boiler, you can opt to get a condensing system. If you have an old boiler that’s not a condensing boiler, it’s a good idea to get an upgrade.

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.

The primary differences between a heat pump and a boiler are their function and how they produce heat. A heat pump is a versatile system that provides both heating and cooling by moving ambient air and altering its temperature. In contrast, a boiler is solely a heating system, often working with a furnace or AC unit as part of a larger HVAC system. In terms of heat production, a heat pump generates heat more slowly and at a lower temperature, requiring a large convector for distribution. A boiler, however, produces a large amount of high-temperature heat that it emits through smaller radiators.

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.

Yes. Boilers need water to run without overheating, also known as dry firing. If you run it without a sufficient volume of water, either because of a burst pipe or a leak, you run the risk of damaging your machine or jeopardizing the safety of your home as a whole. When in doubt, shut off your boiler and repair any plumbing issues before turning it back on. Alternatively, consider installing a low-water cutoff (LWCO) before any issues arise. This gadget will protect your boiler by monitoring water levels and automatically shutting it off if it gets too low.
