"We needed our boiler replaced and had multiple companies come and look at the job. We ended up selecting Sila as we read good reviews on the company. Sila surpassed our expectations. The tech who performed the install (Gage) was on time, communicated the entire process to us from start to finish and did a tremendous job. He also made sure to clean up afterwards and was very professional. We would absolutely hire Sila again!"

"Joyce Cooling and Heating installed a new high-efficiency Lennox furnace and air conditioner. The installation looks great and was professionally completed. The furnace is working fantastic and is so quiet we can't even hear it running. We are warm and comfortable all the time and the new high-efficiency design should save us money for many years to come. The technicians answered all of my numerous questions."

"Having spent 35 years in the construction industry, I can say without reservation that this is an extremely well run company. From start to finish, the experience with N.E.T.R. has been nothing but outstanding. The first person I spoke with in the office to schedule an estimate was very helpful and friendly. The gentleman who came to our home, Chip, was professional and personable and explained everything is great detail. The technicians who came to install the unit we purchased were professional, efficient and extremely conscious of our home and the garden they had to navigate to install the unit. The follow-up with the people in the office for the necessary paperwork for rebates etc could not have been better; Theresa and Chip were extremely helpful assisting us in navigating the process. Through the entire process, everyone we had contact with was very respectful of our needs and concerns. I would not hesitate to use this company again."

"Joe Montbleau is a knowledgeable and honest plumber with a good work ethic. He impressed me as being someone who believes in earning your business and trust. When I called for a quote, he came promptly, along with his father, who is also a plumber, and they truly inspired confidence. Joe and his team worked competently and efficiently to install a new gas boiler in our home. Pricing was fair and the job was completed in one day. I have other plumbing jobs to be done in my home and I will be calling him again."

"The Installation crew consisted of Dave (Crew foreman), Admir( site supervisor) Manny (furnace specialist) Julian (furnace specialist). The quote/billing and problem resolution was done by Andy at the Morris office in Essex. This crew showed up as promised at 7:30 AM on the two days scheduled to install. Overall everyone in this crew knew their job and demonstrated expertise at each turn of the installation. I had a lot of questions and all were answered by each one of the crew when asked. We ran into an unexpected issue with plumbing the humidifier and it got resolved almost immediately by Andy without any hassle. Admir and Manny dismantled the old furnace and carted it away in less than two hours. Very conscientiously they wrapped the trashed burner's pieces in drop clothes so no black soot escaped. Manny even took time to Windex finger prints from door knobs and vacuum. Placing the new burner was done with great care and the rebuilding of the sheet metal flume was very well done and tightly sealed. Admir and Manny then attached the optional equipment and tested to make sure everything worked properly. Julian checked all the settings and installed a new supply line according to code from oil tank to burner. This too looked very professional and took some carpentry skill as well to complete. I was very impressed with Dave's knowledge of older houses and knew exactly what had to be done to make the heating system work efficiently. He took no shortcuts and it was his knowledge that finally solved a six year old problem of getting heat to the second floor bathroom and office. All in all this was the best work done to my house in six years. This crew deserves all the praise they are professionals in every sense of the word. I would recommend them and hire them for future work with confidence."

"Joe, the AirCo sales representative, was very professional. He actually asked for my feedback on priorities for a new boiler. This was important to me because the boiler sits below our family room, and the noise level of the boiler was as issue. His proposals listed several boiler options, based on heating efficiency, which were competitively priced. The installation was run by Steve, who was able to fit in the installation the next week. Steve, and his crews, were punctual and courteous, and the installation went smoothly. It's only been a week, but I am very pleased with my Bosch boiler, the quality of the work, the price paid, and the timeliness of the installation."

Customers say: Super punctual

"The service tech arrived a few minutes after the end of their arrival window. Reception did call to notify a slight delay. No big deal here. We reviewed the steps I took and after some preliminary inspection the tech revisited the system bleed. No air this time. It happens the boiler in question is a Burnham Revolution, notorious for various cryptic failures. We were discussing the inevitable replacement option when he homed in on the primary loop pump motor again and realized it was locked up. It had everyone fooled as it was vibrating as if it was operable, but hot a Hades due to the frozen prop shaft. This gig would probably have summed up @$600 but for the tricky diagnosis and my loquacious tendencies. At least I know who to call when I'm ready for that replacement/expansion."

"Doug Anderson was great to work with. His bid for the work was in line with other bids for the same system, but he took care of every aspect of the job (Oil tank removal, arranging electrical work, inspections, cement repair, additional thermostat, etc..) The boiler install went smoothly and system works well for us. Replacing a boiler is a big job, and it mattered a lot to have someone do the job with such care and consideration."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

It takes about five to 10 minutes for heat to reach a radiator, then about one hour until the radiator fully heats up a room. The exact duration depends on the size of the room and how far away the radiator is from the boiler heating system. Heating up an entire house could take up to two hours.

You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.

Home Efficiency and Usage:

  • Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.

  • Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.

Purchasing Strategies:

  • Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.

  • Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.

If you have a closed-system boiler that requires an expansion tank, you cannot safely operate it without one, as this risks extensive damage or even explosions. You must find a way to make room for the installation. Options include repositioning the boiler, rerouting the boiler piping to a more open area, or performing minor remodeling to create the necessary space. If you are unsure whether your boiler needs an expansion tank or how to best accommodate one, it's recommended to have a local heating service professional assess the situation. They can confirm the requirement and suggest the most practical solution.

In some cases, conversion kits are available, but not all boilers are compatible. Conversion may require significant modifications and should only be performed by a qualified professional. Before making a decision, compare conversion costs to the cost of a complete replacement to determine the most cost-effective and reliable option for your home.

The main difference between an outdoor wood furnace versus an outdoor wood boiler is what each appliance is heating. An outdoor wood furnace burns wood to create heat, which warms the air and moves it through the ducts in your home. An outdoor wood boiler uses the heat from burning wood to warm water, which goes through pipes to radiators in the home.
