"I would recommend this company to everyone. Loved they are a small local, family owned business. Our furnace-boiler went out on a Saturday, Monday morning they were out and a quote in the afternoon. They made sure we had heat before Thanksgiving day. Very professional, knowledgeable, great craftsmanship. Best price on comparable equipment out of 3 quotes. Thank you!!"

"The installation itself was very good.  I noticed the old tank leaking at 2:00pm Tuesday - was replaced by 2:00pm Wednesday.  They came out quickly to provide a bid and settled on Spengler that night and they were here at 8:30am the next morning.  The installer was friendly and considerate - top notch.  The only knock will be the salesman himself - a bit high pressure not a big deal because we knew we were going to use them after the research we had done.  He was here for nearly 3 hours looking things over then writing his bid then discussing with us his bid then sitting in his truck while we reviewed the bid then finally signing the contract.  The most disappointing was the discussing about their calendar - he wanted to be sure my wife knew which month he was "featured" - really - cmon man!

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

You can use a boiler and a furnace, although it’s not common to use both for whole-house heating. For example, your furnace may take care of HVAC heating through your vents, while a boiler powers your floor-based radiant heating in the bathrooms. Mixing and matching like this gives homeowners a variety of heating possibilities.

A furnace is a big unit where gas, heating oil, or electricity heats the air. The warmed air is then pushed back out through ducts and vents. 

A boiler uses electricity, heating oil, or gas to heat water that is pushed into the room through a radiator. This is one of the oldest and most effective ways to heat a house, but radiators can also be unsightly and leave hot and cold spots in the room.

Heat pumps use a refrigerant to move heat from outside into the house and return it to the room through ducts and vents.

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.

Chilled water HVAC systems use water instead of traditional components and refrigerants. They're more common in commercial settings than residential ones but are slowly being adopted by some homebuilders to cool homes. As the name implies, the system keeps the water chilled at 40 degrees and circulates it through water coils. The water absorbs the heat from your home and drains outdoors. Condo apartments are more likely to have chilled water HVAC than single-family homes because this system is designed to cool several rooms or large areas individually.

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.
