"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!"

"The thermocouple on my gas-fired boiler needed to be replaced, and the pilot needed to be cleaned. The tech was helpful and forthcoming with information. Took about an hour, as my boiler does not have easy access. Would hire again!"

"I consider myself super lucky to have had Mike install our water heater, and then subsequently a gas boiler with indirect water heater. He truly IS a master plumber, that boiler looked like a piece of art at the end of installation, and it works like a charm! In addition he did quite a bit of plumbing by moving around a second water heater, to save us some room in the basement - free of charge! Not only is he an outstanding and extremely hard working plumber (you can judge from the number of reviews!), but also a deeply decent man of exceptional integrity, truly an inspiration to all of us..."

"Excellent - I would definitely consider hiring Addario, Inc. again. From start to finish my home service - the removal and installation of my garbage disposal - was excellent."

"I was very pleased with all aspects of my boiler installation. Joe explained the options thoroughly, clearly answered all my questions, and wrote a detailed quote for the work. The quote was the best I received. Within 2 days, my old boiler was removed, and the following day the new one was installed. The work was done efficiently and carefully. They left my cellar clearer than it was when they started. I am glad that I chose Concept Energy Management. They did a great job."

"All projects encounter unexpected challenges, such as when installing chimney dampers on a roof in the winter season. Having a Team committed to resolving issues and ensuring total customer satisfaction makes all the difference. Scott, Rania and their Team were honest, fair, knowledgable and professional. Paid for a service and got it. Above all, they made the experience enjoyable. A rarity in today's world, when most contractors feel like they're doing you a favor just by showing up. Thank you , Team Chimney Chap."

"In both cases Eddie was very professional and very responsive. He did an excellent job and he left the place very clean. The price was reasonable and we appreciated a discount. We had first hired him a year ago to install an outdoors faucet, we appreciated his quality of his work and his pleasant attitude, and we keep calling him. We would definitely recommend him."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

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.

When winter rolls around, and you turn the heat on for the first time in a year, it’s normal to sense a light odor. This could smell a little like burning because some dust has gathered in the heating unit over the warm months and will fade away shortly after. However, there are some smells you should watch out for and take caution around: an egg-like sulfur smell or an electrical burn odor would indicate there’s something wrong. Turn it off and call a professional for maintenance as soon as possible. 

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.

Deciding whether or not to replace radiators with a different heating system depends on your personal preferences. Radiators can take longer to heat up than a central heating system, and they take up floor space. However, they can be very efficient at heating, and they keep rooms at a more comfortable humidity level in the winter than forced-air systems.

Oil boilers provide reliable heating, efficiency, and long-term cost savings compared to electric options.
