"Everything went great. The old hot water heater was removed and then the new hot water heater was installed where I requested it to be with all of the plumbing done in a neat professional manner. It was a pleasure working with Bamford plumbing and I have been very happy with the work they have done. I would highly recommend them to anyone. "
"We were extremely happy with our entire experience. Grove responded quickly to our inquiry - provided a quote the next day and started the day after that. Our attic air handler was very difficult to access and Grove had a "can do" attitude about the entire installation. The price was comparable to other bids - but for a better system and with a much better explanation. They were on time, complete, and clean. We will absolutely use them again."
"Carlos, Yarel, Muhammad and Conrad did a great job installing my new Heat Pump. They arrived promptly and did a thorough, professional, and efficient job. I highly recommend their services to anyone."

"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."
"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."
"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). "
"It was very easy to schedule an appointment. The owner of the company came to my house on 8/2/16. He said that I could get a new 3 ton Trane air conditioner for $3,700 or I could repair the existing unit for $900. It needed a new blade, motor and 2 lbs. of R-22. I had just spent $350 for a service call and a capacitor two days earlier. As the unit was 27 years old, I decided to get a new unit. Ambient was able to come to my house the next day, 8/3 to install a new unit. The technicians were very professional, polite, and neat."
An expansion tank must always be installed on the supply side, which is the side where the boiler sends water out to heat the systems. That placement allows the water to push against the air and condense properly as it is heated, then circulated through the system. Professional installers can recommend the best place on the supply side for an expansion tank.
No, there isn’t always water in radiators. In a one-pipe system, water is constantly circulating from the boiler to the radiators and back. In a two-pipe system, water travels through two separate channels: one that goes to your radiators and one that returns back to the boiler so it can heat up again.
You should get anywhere from three to five quotes for HVAC replacement to get an idea of the average cost of a new unit. Although this quote-collecting process can be time consuming, it allows you to compare what work is required, what type of unit you should install, and how much you should expect to pay for the service.
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.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
