"The service from Bamford Plumbing & Heating Inc. went great. He kept his scheduled appointments and had no need to come back because he did everything 100% the first time through. He is a general plumber, but his knowledge of boilers was exceptional, I learned a lot."
"I was in dire straights. I was out of town and my A/C was about to be stolen. Sean and his team came out the very next day assessed the damage, sent me pictures, explained everything VERY WELL, and installed a security cage over my unit to prevent the thieves from stealing the unit. They saved me thousands. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company. They are very knowledgeable and trustworthy."

"Excellent company to work with Very respectful of property with laying floor coverings during replacement of furance Guinn Hamilton the owner was great to deal with answered all questions and provided much more information about the product then any other vendor Rick the installer and his helper were very professional and explained everything we needed to know once the furance was installed They even installed a emergency cutoff switch near the furnace without charging us extra for a safety situation Overall this company made our purchase of the oil furance a pleasurable experience and you should give them a opportunity to provide you with an estimate You won't be disappointed"
"Forest Hill Heating and & Air has been instrumental fixing/maintaining our 20+ year old heat pump both in the summer and winter months! We have also been fortunate to have them recently replace our water heater with a greatly improved unit - and have had zero issues with it since the day it was installed several years ago. I am looking forward to having another 20 year old water heater replaced in the near future by this excellent and professional business."
"Vernon Frost, master plumber, installed my Moen faucet that I had bought from Lowes. He arrived on time, was very professional and finished the job in a half hour. It has been working fine since installation and I am very happy with my new faucet."
"I had a difficult time tracking down a responsive, reasonably priced plumber, even through Angies List. Aqua has been fantastic. They were responsive to my calls and questions. I inquired about just replacing my 40 year old boiler which was not working after a dusty mess of a basement demolition (in addition to other questions). They had the opportunity to steer me in that expensive direction, but they instead told me of the challenges the new boilers have, and to periodically have old trusty cleaned and serviced instead. She should be reliable if I do that. Honesty goes a long way with me, as does customer service. This company is a gem. Unfortunately, my house is a hot mess as a result of significant demolition in my basement, so I will be calling again for a different leaky pipe after I leave this review. I'm thankful I now know who to call for my plumbing needs."
"I initially called Shaffer Plumbing and a Plumber came out to assess the situation. We were told that our cold water line was leaking and our old water heater needed to be replaced. The Plumber 1st repaired the leak and replaced valve. As we supplied the water heater the Plumber returned a few days later, installed the new water heater, cleaned up beautifully and removed the old water at no additional charge!!"
"Called BAE at 5pm, and left a message with their operator. Henry called me back within 5 mins and was at the house within an hour. By 6:15pm my AC was working again -- he quickly diagnosed the problem, had the part in stock (capacitor), and completed the installation. He was professional, skilled, and courteous. Would hire him again in heart beat."
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:
When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.
You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.
Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.
Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs.
Scale from hard water is hard to diagnose until it starts causing problems. If your area has particularly hard water, that’s most likely what your boiler is using. If scale build-up becomes a problem, it starts to cause decreased flow and heating, and eventually, valve failures as valves become blocked. Let boiler professionals know if you’re worried about scale and they can offer advice or implement a solution.
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.
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.
