"I am very pleased with the work received. I even had a question for Bob about how far down the stump would be ground (6-8in) which is ideal as we hope to install a driveway in that location shortly. The price was right, the individuals polite and courteous and the execution perfect. I would recommend Bob Walton if you need a stump ground."

"The owner and customer service manager were both very responsive to issues raised during the installation of the system. They did everything they could to make sure I was a satisfied customer. The reason I could not give they company A's in the areas of quality and professionalism was the number of issues that needed to be raise during the installation and items they did not check out prior to leaving after the installation.
This company was chosen to install the system was because their quote was the most feasible placement of the oil burner, oil tank, vent system, and hot water tank received. Their price was comparable to other quotes.
This new system was purchased using a zero interest loan sponsored by the local electrical utility. Work was started after a credit check was run and an initial deposit was paid for items not not covered by the loan. The lead installer was knowledgeable and made me comfortable as the work started. We reviewed the work that needed to be done and work commenced. A team of four people began the install.
The first "issue" arose when they began to connect the hot water tank using 1/2" copper pipe. The previous system was connected to the house with 3/4". When this was brought this to the attention of the lead installer he was quick to call the office and get the needed materials and the water system was attached as requested with 3/4" pipe.
During the process of connecting the new heating system to existing piping, one of the workers incorrectly connected two pipes together and cause a water leak which damaged some materials in storage shelves. The owner was quick to compensate for the damaged materials.
At the end of the second day of installation the system was checked out and the workers left.
Soon after the workers left we discovered there was no hot water. The new system had a locked water mixing valve above the hot water tank. It was set to 70 degrees. I could have called the company, but chose to look up how to unlock the mixing valve and adjust to supply hot water to the house. I was able to adjust the mixing valve which allowed the tank to supply hot water to the house.
The installed heating system was a two zone system. Later that first evening one set of rooms were getting cold while the other set of rooms were getting hot. Upon further examination I determined the thermostats were reversed. After switching the two thermostat connections at the oil burner the room temperatures returned to desired temperatures.
When the hot water tank was first pressurized no water leaks was observed, however, during the next few days, a number of leaking joints were identified. A different employee install the plumbing of the hot water tank. It took another employee to arrive and take apart and reconnect the connections to stop all the leaks. I was told that the pipes were not adequately tightened at the first install. To the company's credit response time to my report of leaks was fast.
Two bills were received from the company for parts and labor to fix the water tank leaks. I called the owner of the company and the charges were reversed.
A few days later I noticed the circulator pump to the hot water tank was running and the boiler temperature was low. The house was not calling for heat. After some research I found that the boiler control unit was not set for an indirect water heater. So as long as the house did not call for heat, the oil burner did not turn on to supply heat to the hot water storage tank. The position of a switch in the control unit needed to be changed. Once changed the burner turned on supplying heat to the hot water storage tank.
The exhaust for the oil burner is out the side of the house using a power vent system. A few days after the install, I realized that the venting fan was running for an extended period of time (approximately 11 minutes) after the oil burner shut off. After reading the manufacturer literature, manufacturer recommends the vent fan to run for a period of 3 to 5 minutes after the oil burner shuts off. The run time of the vent fan was reduced from 11 minutes down to the 3 to 5 minute period as the manufacture recommends.
The oil burner purchased included a control unit that can be adjusted to provide increased energy efficiency. This feature was discovered as part of reading the control unit manual to solve the water heater - oil burner problem (see above). The company left the system where the control unit did not provide any added efficiency. After experimenting with the efficiency setting, a "good" trade-off has been reached between oil burner responsiveness and the house need for heat.
A few weeks after the install, the fire department came out the inspect the system. The system failed the inspection. The oil burner exhaust flue was within 18"  of combustible materials. Board needed to be installed above the flue pipe where the wood  floor joists were withing the 18" of the flue pipe. The company was quick to respond to the situation.
I am extremely happy with the new heating system, power vent, and hot water storage tank. I would have preferred not to have raised the issues and work thru the problems I had to with the install and start-up of the system. It is important to me to be associated with a company that will work thru issues and problems to satisfy the customer.

"I called Ambient in the morning to have them come over and look at my 3 year old Fridigaire Furnace that was making a loud clunking sound. They sent someone over the same day to look at the furnace. The tech concluded that the blower motor was bad and he called around and was able to find one. Not only did he install it, he also checked to see if the part was still under warranty, which it was!! We only had to pay for installation. The part along would have been over $800. I was extremely happy with him taking the time to check on the warranty for me and get the job done so quickly.

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

Install Boiler FAQs, answered by experts

If you want to have hot water in your home and part of your plumbing system, you'll need a hot water heater. An alternative may be to heat water as you use it, such as by boiling what you need on the stove. But that's much less efficient and takes considerably longer than hooking up a water heater. Another option is to rely on appliances, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, that heat the water themselves.

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.

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 experts recommend getting three to five HVAC quotes from licensed, insured, reputable local heating and cooling companies. Getting multiple detailed HVAC quotes (but not too many) lets you compare the equipment, services, and prices of several contractors without being overwhelmed by options. It can also let you see if one contractor’s prices are much higher or lower than the others and give you a chance to ask for clarification. That way, you can weed out any contractors who aren’t providing quality services or materials and find the company that best meets your budget, quality requirements, and long-term goals.

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.
