"Jeff arrived to our home and provided an estimate for a new furnace and A/C system. Very professional and courteous. Seemed very knowledgeable and answered my questions easily. Spent time measuring windows and even called the city to get an accurate sq footage of the home to design the right system. Although we ended up going with a different HVAC system, I would have no hesitation recommending this company and will likely use them for any service we may need in the future. Excellent."

What started out as a good experience with air Conditioning Engineers really took a strange twist.  Please read this in its entirety. 

My wife and I met with Bob Strang of Air Conditioning Engineers.  He was nice to deal with, no pressure and knowledgeable.    A rough estimate was given and he later came to the house to get a better assessment of the job and give a final estimate.  His prices were competitive, just a tad higher than our other quote, yet we felt more at ease with him. 

The technicians, Tom and Dan arrived as scheduled and were very professional and nice to deal with.  (Unlike the obnoxious a** sent here a number of years ago from Williams Heating and Cooling.)   Unfortunately, the techs were unable to run the chimney liner required for our water heater.  They certainly tried, yet either some mortar or the bend in the flue prevented them from pulling it through.  OK I understand that problems occur.  This item was originally overlooked in their price estimate so I explicitly recall that our estimate was increased by $400 for liner installation.  I relayed this information to the techs and they reduced the balance due by $400.  Makes sense, they were unable to provide the service prescribed.   I was advised and provided a name of a contractor who only did chimney liners and was more proficient.  So far, a setback, yet not really their fault.

The following day Bob from Air Conditioning Engineers called.  He asked what I was going to do next about the chimney liner.   He also informed me that his guys wasted an hour trying to install the liner and that the liner was damaged during this process.  He then informed me that this problem cost him $400 and asked if I would help pay for half!  I was caught off guard and told him I?d think about it as I actually considered it!   I checked with an instructor who teaches HVAC at MCC.  His rule of thumb for conducting business - he would not have even considered charging for an attempt, only for completed work.   That?s why one hires as contractor!  If a guide was used to pull the liner it would not have been damaged.  The damaged end could be shortened and reused.  The cost for this part is approx. $110 without any contractor discount.  I don?t see how they can claim a $400 cost and am not liable for their problems.

To make matters worse, I found that the technicians broke off three of the brackets required for securing my chimney cap.  I suppose they didn?t understand what they were for as the cap was removed, due to storm damage.   Once again, under normal circumstances I?d call and have them repair it.  I won?t call as I don?t need to be hounded for more money.  My choices now are to install 3 separate matching caps and install them myself ($30 -35 each at Home Depot)  or fabricate the 3 brackets and reinstall my custom cap (approx. $30 total material but more labor and more trips up and down the roof of my two story home).   I did relay this information on the customer satisfaction form and it went ignored.  The whole money issue really seemed strange and enough for me to take my business elsewhere.  If any warranty maintenance or repairs are required in the future, I am concerned this could have a negative impact.

It gets worse; later, when we turned on the furnace I noticed condensate dripping on the floor and stains on the exhaust pipe.  2 of the joints were not glued.  Along with the moisture I?m sure a certain amount of Carbon Monoxide gas was leaking into my home, a very dangerous situation.  I did disassemble and glue the exhaust properly.    Also the condensate drain causes puddling of water around my drain.   I?ll add an elbow and make a hole to accept it in the drain cover at a later date.


UPDATE - Bob and I have seemed to have worked out any differences.  He went out of his way to do so.  He's such a likable cuss what can I say!  Bottom line is always, would you do repeat business and my answer is yes.

"They came out, reviewed the problem, quickly figured out what was wrong, brought back a toilet and installed it.  I am happy with the work and the results.  The owner and those who came out to the house were all very professional and polite.  I am totally happy with the service.

"New special order unit came in very quickly, and installation was scheduled for the next day. Old unit was removed and hauled away. New unit was professionally installed with attention to detail not present on the old unit. No damage to walls or floors, and installers used extra measures to prevent outside dirt, snow, and water from being tracked into the house. Very happy with the entire purchase/installation experience."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Heat pumps are significantly more efficient than boilers, typically providing three to four times the amount of heat for the electricity they consume. While boilers run on fossil fuels, heat pumps use only electricity. This efficiency can lead to long-term savings on operating and maintenance costs. However, heat pumps have a higher upfront installation price compared to boilers. Despite their lower efficiency, boilers remain a popular choice for many homeowners, with 8 million in the United States alone, due to their lower initial cost and less intensive installation process. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your home's infrastructure, your budget, and your personal heating priorities.

Probably not. Moving a boiler to a new location is a very different prospect from replacing it in the same spot, and significantly more expensive. Plus, boilers are typically carefully positioned in proximity to pipes and radiators when installed. Homeowners may want to move boilers to free up space, prevent freezing problems that have happened in winter, or solve a noise issue—but it’s a much more costly proposition.

The cost-efficiency of baseboard heaters depends on the type and how you use them. Generally, standard electric baseboard heaters can be expensive to run because they use electric resistance heating, which is less energy-efficient than systems like forced-air or heat pumps. However, hydronic and gas versions are typically much cheaper to operate. Hydronic models are more energy-efficient because they heat a liquid that retains warmth longer, preventing the thermostat from turning on and off as often. The overall running cost is also influenced by local electricity rates, your home's insulation, and your usage habits. To increase efficiency, you can use baseboard heaters for zoning, meaning you only heat the specific rooms you are using.

The best time to buy home heating oil is in the summer when the demand is lowest, as the prices are usually lower. However, waiting until the summer to buy is often unavoidable unless you install a separate storage tank. If you have the space for a second tank, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 for the oil tank replacement or installation, depending on the capacity and location. You could quickly recuperate these costs, though, by stocking up on heating oil in the summer and avoiding deliveries in the winter when prices are highest.

In some cases, conversion kits are available, but not all boilers are compatible. Conversion may require significant modifications and should only be performed by a qualified professional. Before making a decision, compare conversion costs to the cost of a complete replacement to determine the most cost-effective and reliable option for your home.
