"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. "
You can replace baseboard heaters with many other types of HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces, hydronic heating, and heat pumps. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, so the best choice for you will depend on your budget, preferences, and the design of your house. If you aren’t sure which option is right for you, ask an HVAC pro for guidance.
The most important sign of a boiler problem is something happening unexpectedly, which is why regular boiler maintenance is important. Unexpected problems can include strange smells, new leaks, and unexpected noises that your boiler wasn’t making before. Additionally, if a boiler keeps shutting off or can’t maintain a specific temperature range, it’s time to call in an expert.
An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:
Furnaces: 15 to 30 years
Boilers: 20 to 35 years
Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years
Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years
Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years
Warmed or cooled air can escape your home through drafty windows and doors. If you notice any gaps, be sure to caulk and seal them. You can also hire a local pro for an energy audit to get a list of energy-saving recommendations.
Finally, check your insulation. It can settle in over time and become less effective. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that you can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or 11% of total energy costs) by sealing leaks and making sure attics, crawl spaces, and basements have a nice layer of insulation.
Safety concerns with propane boilers include proper venting to prevent carbon monoxide buildup, secure gas line connections, and regular inspection of safety controls. Professional boiler installation and annual maintenance are essential to minimize risks. Having a carbon monoxide detector installed in your home is essential for early detection of any leaks or ventilation issues.
