"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."
"It was reported that my fireplace had a build up that needed to be cleaned. I was given two different prices for two different procedures; both were very pricey. I called a second professional and was told that there was no build-up at all and the fireplace was in great shape."
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.
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.
Professionals can recommend efficient layouts or appliances and ensuring regulatory compliance.
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.
Most propane boilers last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance and proper care. The lifespan depends on the quality of the unit, proper installation, and the level of maintenance. Investing in annual service can maximize longevity and efficiency. Routine inspections and timely repairs prevent early breakdown, ensuring your boiler heats your home for years to come.
