The worker's name is Ken. He did a very bad job -- he acutally did not any cleaning of the furname, nothing was taken out and nothing was cleaned. he simply told us that he 'tuned' the efficiency. Not a single part of the furnace was even touched. He asked to use bulkhead to get into/out the basement. It was pouring when he was in basement, however, he left the bulkhead open during the time when he was there, and after he left, we saw water came into from the blukhead and the floor get wet. After Ken's 'cleaning', we called other company to check the furnace and we were told the furnace has not been cleaned for a long time! Then we spend $200 to have the other company redo the cleanining which really cleaned the furnace.
Description of Work: anually furnace cleaning.

The technician is very responsible and did change the parts and clean the boiler. He also did the efficiency test. In addition he spoke to you while he was doing the work so I don't understand how you could be so harsh in your comments. We are not perfect but we stand behind our work and we would have come back at no charge if you were not happy. I will also be glad to pay you the $200 that the other company charged you if you can show me the invoice and proof of payment. I suspect your comments are being fueled by a an unprofessional competitor. I called you to make this same offer by phone but did not get a reply. Sorry we let you down but we were not given a chance to correct the problem. Christopher Lane General Manager

We found a large amount of water leaking from our hot water. Kerivan Lane sent a plumber within 2 hours. He was very pleasant, explained what the problem was and fixed it quickly. He also labelled the pipes as to what they all were-with bright yellow tags. It was helpful to see what is what down there.

It took a day until the company had an available plumber, but the visit went very well. My husband felt that the original tube was heavier, so had more resistance when putting back in place.

Really well- how often can you say that? Truly, the contractors worked hard to place the equipment where we wanted it. The job was expertly done- its hard to say that a boiler and hot water heater look beautiful, but really, they do- but more importantly, everything is running very well. I am also very confident that if something does not run well in the future, that they would be very responsive in addressing the issue immediately. If you are looking to have a new boiler and/or heating system installed, I would highly recommend using Kerivan-Lane. You will not be disappointed.
Description of Work: Kerivan-Lane was extremely professional in the manner with which they assessed our heating needs, assisted in selecting equipment and completing the installation. Our boiler and hot water system were extremely old and they worked very hard and did a fantastic job of working with us to replace the equipment. The people sent to perform the install were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and really worked hard to accomodate our needs and to teach us how to use the equipment.

After a couple of years of trouble with another company, I contacted Kerivan-Lane to address a repair issue with my gas boiler. They were prompt. Most important, it was clear that they had full knowledge of the operations and service/ repair needs for my particular boiler. Excellent knowledge - a huge relief.

The installation went very smoothly, taking 2 days. We had hot water back by the end of day one . (We weren't concerned about heat since the installation took place in July.) The installers Gene Gutu and Ron Reitz seemed to be very familiar with the Buderus products and gave us a quick tutorial on how to program the 2107 at the end of day 2. Assembling the circulators and piping looked like a big 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle; I watched them a little at the beginning and noticed they had well over a hundred pieces to connect together in just the right way. The only downside is that the new unit takes up about 1 1/2 times as much space as the old one, partially because of the extra piping required for the outside air intake and partially because it was reoriented to make it easier to service. We're hoping to reduce our fuel usage by at least 20% next year due to the higher efficiency of the new unit and the versatility of the 2107 control system. Kerivan-Lane was very price competive with their quote, substantially underbidding a couple of other vendors, and worked very well with the MassSave CSG rebate/loan program, enabling me to further reduce the overall cost.
Description of Work: installed a Buderus G115WS/5 oil boiler with Carlin EZ-1 oil burner, Buderus S-200 53 gallon indirect water heater and R2107 control system with outside air intake and outside temperature sensor to replace an old Weil-Mclain boiler and Amtrol water heater.
