"Absolutely no problems. The installers were professional, efficient and took care of all problems. The price was reasonable and no hidden charges. I would highly recommend One Choice Mechanical and will use them in the future. When I had the old furnace and ac serviced in the past, the technician was methodical and my old furnace ran better than it ever had. After 45 years of service out of my old furnace and ac, it finally bit the dust. Hopefully, the new one will outlive me."

"The young man from Greenwell Dustin texted me earlier than I expected which was great and arrived when he said he would. He diagnosed the issue told me what part was needed and told me where I could get it to save some money. Got the part and he installed it and verified everything was working correctly with no leaks of water or natural gas. Dustin will be who I request if I need any other services from Greenwell Plumbing."

"Overall I'm giving the company a C grade for performance, because they were responsive after we complained directly to the company; however, based on the fact that we had to call the company on several occasions for updates became frustrating. 1. They promised to be here Thursday, April 21st @ 8am; we had to call around 10am and they arrived at 11:20am.? No explanation was given for why they showed up late. 2. Technician promised to return Friday, @ 9/9:30am, to complete the job. We texted the company around 10:30, and he called 30 min later and arrived 10min later. 3.? Technician declined to file in a hole left in the wall with insulation foam.? Had to call the company, to get them to return to fill in the hole on another day. 4. The thermostat was installed without a cover plate to cover the markings on the wall left by the old thermostat.? They didn't offer a cover plate to cover the markings during the install.? After contacting the company about the cover plate, they returned and installed a cover plate free of charge."

"Prudential has done my annual maintenance for a couple of years. Recently the AC gave out after 17 years with the original unit. Prudential was prompt in their response to look at the issue. They proposed options to fix, but I chose to purchase a new unit. There was no pressure from anyone to purchase a new unit which was good. Keith was my sales representative, and was very professional with his recommendations. I got 2 additional quotes from other vendors before choosing to go with Prudential, and I am glad with the decision. Unit installed and working great! Keith even made recommendations on window replacements that would make the overall home much cooler. Looking into that now. Much thanks to the Prudential team for making this process easy, especially in times when people are struggling in general with the Coronavirus situation. Great work Prudential team!"

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. 

An expansion tank must always be installed on the supply side, which is the side where the boiler sends water out to heat the systems. That placement allows the water to push against the air and condense properly as it is heated, then circulated through the system. Professional installers can recommend the best place on the supply side for an expansion tank.

The cost-efficiency of baseboard heaters depends on the type and how you use them. Generally, standard electric baseboard heaters can be expensive to run because they use electric resistance heating, which is less energy-efficient than systems like forced-air or heat pumps. However, hydronic and gas versions are typically much cheaper to operate. Hydronic models are more energy-efficient because they heat a liquid that retains warmth longer, preventing the thermostat from turning on and off as often. The overall running cost is also influenced by local electricity rates, your home's insulation, and your usage habits. To increase efficiency, you can use baseboard heaters for zoning, meaning you only heat the specific rooms you are using.

A furnace takes in cool air, heats it through the burner and heat exchanger, and sends the air on its way to warm your home. A boiler is a pressurized vessel that produces hot water or steam to heat the home and provide hot water. A boiler may or may not work together with a furnace.

The absence of heating or hot water, unusual noises like banging or gurgling, and visible water leakage are key signs. Abnormal boiler pressure, flame irregularities (for gas boilers), or pilot light issues may also signal trouble. Frequent cycling, soot or staining, and unusual odors, particularly gas-like smells, should not be ignored. Modern boilers often display error codes or lockout mode upon detecting issues. Uneven heating across radiators and rising energy bills without increased usage can further point to problems. Prompt attention to these signs is essential to prevent further damage and ensure safety.
