"Very professional installation. Was done in a timely fashion and the crew was very professional and clean. Huge difference in the comfort of our home now."
"Isak was on time, courteous, professional, and he explained to me exactly was he was doing. He made the installation a smooth process. I will be calling for my future hvac needs!"
"I was so lucky to find a real professional during the beginning of a heat wave. Last Friday, at 4AM noticed the house was hot and the thermostat reading 78 degrees. Call several vendors and the earliest appointment was on July 24. Went to Angie's List and found Grove and Son. Travis answered the phone right away and set the appointment the same day. The AC got fixed and working great. Those guys are awesome!"
"Our service technician was David. He arrived earlier than expected and went straight to work. Our new pump was installed in less than one hour. We were pleased with the work. He came after hours 6:30pm and did not charge an exorbitant fee. He was pleasant and very informative when asked questions. If there was a topic he was not familiar with he answer "I'm not sure". I like reliable companies with professional employees. We had another plumber come earlier and wanted to charge us $452 dollars for a 1/2 HP pump that cost on average $242, $200 for accessories for installation (I paid $276 taxes included for pump and accessories), labor charge to go and pick up the pump and to install the pump. His price $1252. I was told that it was considered an emergency so that is why the price was so high. This was the morning two days after the flood. After we got the pump we called several times and no response as of yet, He's off my list completely. I share this illustration so that buyers can make educated decisions about how best to spend their money. I don't assume that the plumber whose charges were 50% higher than anyone else I called on Angies List. I simply say do your homework and know what is considered a fair price. Thank you Jerry's Heating and Plumbing. You do excellent work in a timely fashion!"
"Continental's technicians were highly experienced, professional, considerate, respectful, hard working, and neat. They arrived on-time when scheduled. Allied's drilling and trenching crews were excellent also. This was a big messy job that took about a week and we are very happy with the work that they did. The owner of Continental, Frank Jackson, sold us the system. He provided an extensive reference list that went back at least 15 years. He was on-site for most of the job providing hands-on supervision of his technicians. His technicians are so experienced that he didn't have to be there to supervise them. Rather, I believe he was there to make sure that the job was finished on time because they are so busy. Allied had an on-site supervisor at the start of the drilling process to finalize the location of the loop bores, but their drilling crew was highly experienced and needed no supervision. Installing geothermal is a messy job. The vertical bores and horizontal trenching for the ground loop makes a muddy mess. The drillers from Allied were very respectful to the property, much more than I expected. I expected that the drilling process would make "a mess and a half" but it only made a mess! At the end of the job the ground was re-leveled and ready for seed, which has already popped and growing grass. As one of the drillers said "the mess only takes grass seed to fix". The HVAC technicians from Continental left the spaces where they worked in "broom-clean" condition. We had to do some "deep cleaning" afterwards, but this was completely reasonable. We expressed our concerns about the job to the technicians before they started work because we do not know much about HVAC or geothermal. They took the time to explain what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. They kept us fully informed about their progress and included us in the decision making process when they had more than one way of running a pipe or duct. They made us feel really comfortable and that we were getting a top-notch job. While the cost for the system from Continental was a little bit higher than their competitors I think we got value for money. In addition to the reference list we received during the sale process, we also know two families that used Continental in the recent past and they are very happy with the work that was performed. We would use Continental again and would recommend them to others. If you go with the option to integrate your hot water heater with the geothermal system (which is supposed to reduce the cost of the hot water that you use) I would reccommend that you bite the bullet and have a preheat tank installed at additional cost. We didn't do that and in retrospect we should have based on some further reading that we did about how to get the most bang for the buck from geothermal. It would be easy to install the preheat tank during a new construction project. It would be harder to install the preheat tank during a replacement project (like ours was). "

"Valpo Services provided a great service from start to finish. Our house was built in 1925 and did not have air duct only window air conditioning units. After we made the necessary research and requested several quotes, we decided to use Valpo Services for the installation of a Central Air Unit. Walter came to our home and provided us with several different options for a Central Air Unit that would fit our home and needs. For the first time we did not feel pressured to buy a specific Unit. At the end of the day Walter provided us with a really competitive quote and showed us a timeline for the installation. Our questions were always answered on a timely manner. Walter, Hector, Alex and the rest of the team were always on time, worked hard to make sure the unit was installed on time and always made sure we were satisfied with the work. We are very pleased with the quality of work, service and professionalism the company provided us with. We will highly recommend Valpo Services to colleagues and friends and we will certainly continue to use their services. "
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.
You can use a boiler and a furnace, although it’s not common to use both for whole-house heating. For example, your furnace may take care of HVAC heating through your vents, while a boiler powers your floor-based radiant heating in the bathrooms. Mixing and matching like this gives homeowners a variety of heating possibilities.
If you’re looking for a way to heat your home that is lower in cost and higher in efficiency, you should run the numbers to see what it would look like to switch to gas or electric heat. The best choice for how to heat your home depends on your location, budget, and energy priorities.
Installing a boiler requires training, a specific skill set, and extensive experience. Boiler installation can be extremely dangerous, as it involves working with water lines, gas lines, and electricity. For this reason, it’s strongly recommended that you hire a professional to install your boiler. Some states even consider it illegal to work on a boiler without the proper licensing.
Most installations take 2-5 days, including old system removal and setup.
