"We were impressed with Besco from the start. We called them to replace a 20-yr old furnace and A/C. Ed came to look over our situation and found that our A/C coils had frozen, causing water to collect in the bottom of the furnace. Ed asked for towels and mopped up the 1” of water himself. The quote for new Trane equipment was reasonable compared to other quotes for similar equipment and contained 3 options. Ed got the permits for us and installation went very well. Installers efficient and explained what we needed to know. In addition to the furnace, they removed old piping from a water softener long gone. They fixed the ducts and cleaned up nicely. We look forward to having Besco maintain the new equipment."

"I’ve continued to hired Schavitz for all things A/C and furnace for my home due to their knowledge, honesty, and professionalism. This time met with Craig since he specializes in boiler systems and once again he exceeded my expectations with his knowledge and service. If you want complete transparency and the highest level of service then don’t hesitate to hire Schavitz. Don’t forget to ask about their membership plan.....discounts on annual services, parts, and equipment. Great deal!"

"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

Some high-quality steam boilers come with 10-year warranties, but a well-installed, properly maintained model can last at least 20 to 25 years. Learning how to clean a boiler, getting an annual professional service, and keeping up with maintenance and repairs on your heating system are all important for getting the most out of your model. 

The radiators closest in proximity to the boiler heating system will heat up first. Radiators in rooms farther away from the boiler will take longer to heat up and may be the coolest rooms in the house. The radiator unit itself should heat up evenly; otherwise, there may be trapped air inside it.

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.

If you go to turn it counterclockwise and it won’t turn anymore, it’s open. Like most other valves, you should be able to turn a radiator valve counterclockwise (to the left) to open it and clockwise (right) to close it. To close a radiator valve, turn it clockwise until you meet some resistance and can’t turn anymore, but do so carefully to avoid breaking the valve.

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.
