"The first guy came, but did not have the parts he needed, even though I specified in my email what types of plumbing I had. We had to reschedule for another day. The second guy came and was very professional and knowledgeable. He installed the system fairly quickly and explained how to operate the system. He also showed me where my furnace was installed incorrectly. I had the original furnace installer come out and fix the problem, that was pointed out to me by this company. Very good customer service. I have not used the humidifier yet, but I am happy so far. "
"They got the old sump pump removed and installed the new one. They even disposed of the old stuff which I greatly appreciated. They were wonderful and would call on Greenwell Plumbing again."
"This is a great company and I am glad they are around. Extremely professional, detail oriented, hard working and honest. I needed to replace my ancient HVAC system and I was fortunate to have had this company help me with that. I ended up with a couple of bids for the same brand and model and Comfort Zone gave me an honest price which was thousands less than a competitor (Again, same brand and model number). Equally important is that they know what they are doing and they do the job right unlike many of the less knowledgeable competitors. Honest, knowledgable, hard working, great to deal with! They have earned my business for sure."
"The changing of the compressor went well. However, had a leak in the furnace in the house. That was an additional leak which was $817! I also had a new thermostat installed to cut energy costs. The only problem was when prices quoted it would change with the person you talked to. When I paid my bill the company attempted to pad the bill by an additional $250 dollars. I told them it was either 817 or 876 dollars. I pad the additional cost. I will use them but only under my supervision and make sure they do the work requested. Caveat Emptor!"
"Zach, Josh, and Cole came out and installed new heat pump for me in the middle of this snow storm. Very clean, informative and punctual. Will recommend to everyone. Thanks from veteran."
"I would recommend this company to anyone who wants a reliable, hardworking, precise young man to do your work. He called and showed up when he said he would. He got the job done efficiently and in a timely manner. He made sure my system was up and running correctly after reconnecting the unit. I am superbly happy with his workmanship. Highly recommend. Thank you Curtis."
"The people they sent were nice, and prompt, partly because I was doing this in the summer when I knew it'd be slower, but I kept feeling like they were trying to pull a fast on on me, and charge me for services I didn't need. The previous owners had a fireplace insert, and used it to heat their house, so there was a lot of wear on the chimney. We got rid of the insert, and they removed the old liner, which had damaged some of the ceramic heat tiles in the chimney. Then they used used rotary tools to clean most of the creosote, which all went well enough. My problem was that they kept trying to sell me on either: a) rebuilding the flue and installing a new fireplace liner- $3,600 b) putting in a NEW fireplace insert and liner - $4,400 c) rebuilding the flue and doing a poured fireplace liner with refractive concrete - $5,200 My problem was that I kept telling the repairman that I didn't need any of these - I will likely use the fireplace 3-4 times per year, with gas logs around christmas, etc. I ended up speaking to a contractor I know, and he told me that the guy was just fishing for more business. He said there was no reason, with a gas fire, and as little as I was planning to use it, that I needed to do anything other than repair the flue. I put a board in to block the flue for now, and put in a set of fireplace doors from Lowes and, and I'll have someone repair the flue in the next few weeks. "
A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.
The cost of heating oil fluctuates rapidly based on supply and demand, but the average price is between $4.00 and $4.50 per gallon, which means filling a standard 275-gallon tank would cost between $1,100 and $1,240. Much like automotive gasoline, the price of home heating oil changes constantly, so the only way to get an accurate and current price per gallon is to contact a heating oil delivery company. Some companies also offer contracts with a set price that should be an average cost over the contract term.
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.
Scale from hard water is hard to diagnose until it starts causing problems. If your area has particularly hard water, that’s most likely what your boiler is using. If scale build-up becomes a problem, it starts to cause decreased flow and heating, and eventually, valve failures as valves become blocked. Let boiler professionals know if you’re worried about scale and they can offer advice or implement a solution.
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.
