"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."
"Not only did Tyrone install both thermostats. But he saved me money. When you buy a smart thermostat there will be a notice stating a C-wire is required. Tyrone installed both of my smart thermostats without the use of a C-wire. So I was able to return them and get a refund. Both thermostats are working flawlessly! I highly recommend Tyrone if you live in the Baltimore area! Thanks again Tyrone!"
"JDL replaced a defective propane furnace and did an excellent job. The new one is installed better than the original. JDL scheduled an inspection by the county inspector also said they did an excellent job. They were efficient, timely and friendly."
"the process was better than I expected. The sale man knew what he was talking about . The installation crew had worked for the company a long time and were also very knowable . When we could not understand a few things they sent out a serviceman just to show us how it works. They also directed us towards financiers and reabate availability."

"They did a great job! Don and Eric came over with a new pressure switch, which got my old boiler working again. I thought it was done for, but their persistence and a bit of wizardry paid off for me. I am so grateful to have them around and would not hesitate to recommend them."
"I had requested estimates from several companies on having a disposal repaired or replaced, but only Jiffy replied, and they did so almost immediately. They scheduled to come at the first time I was free. I received a phone call when the mechanics were on the way to my house and they were on time. Since I had given them the type of disposal that was currently installed, they brought a replacement with them, so although this was an estimate appointment, they were able to go ahead and install it, which they did. They were very polite and answered my questions. Based on what I paid 10 years ago to have the prior one installed, I'd say this was a little pricey, but it's working fine, and I'm very glad to have it taken care of."
"This is the second time that we have used B.A.R. In December our furnace was leaking, it was cold and Henry came out very soon after calling. He needed to do an "innovative" fix, which was awesome because we were leaving on vacation. There was no question then who I would call when we woke up recently and it was COLD. This time there was no hope for the furnace. Henry once again responded quickly to my call for help, and he has once again had to come up with a "crafty" fix with the install of a new furnace. They are the best, and I would highly recommend them for both repairs and new installs. They will work until your problems are solved. They are honest and I trust them which is a very important aspect of hiring any company."
"Excellent, would use them again and do! Frank (the owner) and his staff know what they are doing. Frank has been doing HVAC for years and is a Geothermal expert, his main Geothermal technician is also very experienced. They came highly recommended by friends of friends and when I mentioned who was doing our HVAC at social gatherings, people attested to the quality of their work. I have recommended him to others for geothermal and conventional systems. Of all contractors involved in the build, they were the easiest to deal with - polite, responsive, technically smart, professional, timely and did an excellent job during construction and after we moved in as we got used to the new heating system: - Geothermal heat system (they were installing them before the tax incentives which made all the other newbies jump on the Geo bandwagen) - Radiant floor heating throughout - one of the few companies that were even interested in this technology, which we love having in our house - Multi-zoned air handlers - Whole house steam humidifier Frank was very professional from the start and remains so to this day. So is his staff - professional behavior and appearance are standard. He provided a complete competetive quote, no hidden surprises. Our house is an unusual contruction, most other HVAC people we talked to were afraid to take it on. He did and we have never regretted hiring Continental. We have had to tweak things over time and have added the steam humidifier to keep all our wood from drying and cracking. His staff returns calls promptly, including weekends (even when not an emergency) and we can always get someone to look at an issue within a reasonable timeframe regardless of weather. Cost was rated a B because the whole system was not inexpensive, although his costs were reasonable compared to the other quotes we received and the money was well spent.
Most propane boilers last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance and proper care. The lifespan depends on the quality of the unit, proper installation, and the level of maintenance. Investing in annual service can maximize longevity and efficiency. Routine inspections and timely repairs prevent early breakdown, ensuring your boiler heats your home for years to come.
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.
Costs depend on system size, efficiency rating, and additional features like zoning or smart controls.
Yes, you can build a sunroom addition to your home despite living in a cold climate. Make sure to use high-quality insulation and windows and to supplement with sufficient heating from your HVAC system. The windows in the sunroom allow enough natural light into the room to help heat it most times without having to use the furnace. Even a small electric fireplace can heat the sunroom well enough.
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.
