"Juan was great to work with. He efficiently cleaned and serviced our Gas Boiler. He provided some education about the capability and also noted we had a great boiler that was maintaining strong water pressure and temperature. Great service. Price was appropriate for non-emergency level work! I would easily use them again."

"We had moved a lot of stuff to our basement due to a huge remodel job in our home. My son wanted to move a BowFlex to the basement and we needed to make room. We called Stephen Michael to come and move a bunch of stuff out. He arrived quickly and moved everything we needed. He was very good. He was prompt and returned the call quickly. He was a very nice guy. He was in and out in 20 minutes. I would absolutely use him again."

"They installed a new faucet in the rear of my home and replaced the front outside faucet and the cellar shutoff to it. They removed and installed a new toilet very quickly and did not encounter any issues. They were prompt and friendly and barely intruded with our normal home activities. I was amazed with the efficiency and quality of their work. I highly recommend Aquarius Plumbing. I highly recommed them."

"Very well. I had an appointment for approximately 8 AM. They were a bit late, but had called to let me know, and it wasn't a problem for me. They spent well over an hour on the job. They took a ton of lint out of the vent pipes and the dryer itself. I'm pretty sure that whoever it was I had in last time did not open up the dryer to clean it. They also installed a "bird cage" around the vent opening on the side of the house to prevent critters from getting in. (I don't think I have had problems with birds getting in, but why take the chance?) They were very thorough. The job cost more than the initial estimate, but this was because my vent pipe was longer than I had realized. It was reasonable."

"Joe came himself after a few days relay due to the weather. He and his son were very thorough, making sure the job was done right. They were also very careful that they left my house looking exactly as it did when they got here."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Steam boilers require flushing at least every six to 12 months to keep them operating effectively for as long as possible. Depending on your water quality and frequency of use, you might need to do this more frequently. The flushing process helps to remove problematic buildup of sediments. While a boiler contractor near you can perform a thorough annual flush, learning how to drain the system yourself means you can do this monthly if you experience speedy mineral accumulation because of hard water. 

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.

Costs range from $3,000 to $7,500, depending on system size and efficiency.

Depending on the size of your home and system, as well as any upgrades or add-ons you choose, it may take between three and five days to completely replace an existing HVAC system from start to finish. Your contractor should be able to give you an estimate before they begin the actual replacement.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.
