"First I would say setting the appointments was easy. I called on Monday, they had times available on Tuesday. It was very easy. In addition, I was sent an e-mail and called when each guy was on his way. The e-mail contained a picture of the repairman with a bio. I thought that was a great touch. The HVAC guy was great. He was on time, looked at what I was asking, quoted me a price ($120) and completed the work. It took him less than an hour. I thought the price was fair. I would rate the HVAC an A. The Plumber is really why they received an overall grade of a C. The Plumber was a very nice guy, there were no issues there. He arrived within the allotted time. He arrived and I showed him the dishwasher and disposal. Our dishwasher backs up from time to time where there is water sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher after the cycle is done. We explained it doesn't happen often. We also had concerns with garbage disposal. He explained this happens from time to time with all dishwashers and that the disposal was fine (he said it was a top of the line disposal so very quiet - we didn't install the disposal - was there when we bought the house). I then asked him to tighten down a loose shower/bathtub knob. He said he fixed it the best he could, it was still a little loose. Then, after the "work" was complete - he said it was $220. Thank goodness there was a $30 Angie's List coupon! I was shocked, I didn't really know what to say. He never quoted me a price before any "work" was done, he was there for maybe 40 minutes (half of which he was chatting). He basically did nothing to the dishwasher/disposal and he didn't even fully fix the bathtub/shower. Looking back I wish I would have objected more to the price, shame on me! I guess I was in disbelief about the price? I would recommend B & D for HVAC but definitely NOT for plumbing. They are incredibly expensive. FYI, the person that booked the appointment said there was a $50 service fee but that would be a credit for any work done. The repair person was supposed to give a quote before any work was done. I feel somewhat taken advantage of."

"Could not recommend more. Prices were very reasonable for install of an AC unit, and we had gotten multiple quotes before deciding on HVAC Doctor. Everything was done incredibly fast from the free quote to the install. The owner was very straightforward and honest which we appreciated more than anything. We will be using them for our hvac needs going forward and will be recommending them to others."

"Kody was so knowledgeable and friendly when we needed a new A/C unit installed. He didn’t try to upsell or push us into purchasing something beyond our means. He arrived on time and was very trustworthy. He is very dependable and will continue to use his services for further hearing or air conditioning needs. 10/10 recommend!!"

"I had an old water heater (was in the house when I moved in about 20 years ago) and it started to leak. After shutting off the water to the water heater, I did a little Angie's List research to find a company to do the replacement. I called a couple and decided to use Randy Lane, based on cost and my interaction with them, which I felt was cordial and helpful, and made an appointment.
The service person arrived on time on the day of the appointment and went to work. He disconnected the old heater and hauled it out. The new heater was brought in and he did the needed plumbing work to connect the water and also made the natural gas connections. He fired up the unit and briefed me on the new unit - how to turn-off the water and gas, if needed, temperature, etc.
The area was left in the same condition as when he arrived.

"I called and talked to Troy in the end of April to get an estimate and he arrived on time, gave me a great price. Professional Mechanical showed up on time to tear out my Furnace and AC (and new humidifier) and replace with a High Efficiency unit. They were professional (as their name states) and had the work done in the time the quoted by the first of May. I have recommended them to others that have had the same experience!"

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

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.

Hydronic and standard electric baseboard heaters differ in how they operate, their cost, and their performance. Standard convection heaters use electric coils to heat the air directly, while hydronic heaters warm a contained liquid like water or oil, which then radiates heat into the room.

In terms of cost and efficiency, hydronic heaters usually have a higher upfront price but are more energy-efficient and cheaper to run over time. This is because the heated liquid retains warmth, allowing the heater to continue providing heat for a while after the thermostat turns it off. In contrast, electric heaters provide heat more quickly but are less efficient.

Ultimately, the better choice depends on your priorities. If you need a room to heat up fast and have a lower initial budget, an electric heater might be suitable. If long-term energy savings are more important and you don't mind a slower heat-up time, a hydronic heater is likely the better option.

When winter rolls around, and you turn the heat on for the first time in a year, it’s normal to sense a light odor. This could smell a little like burning because some dust has gathered in the heating unit over the warm months and will fade away shortly after. However, there are some smells you should watch out for and take caution around: an egg-like sulfur smell or an electrical burn odor would indicate there’s something wrong. Turn it off and call a professional for maintenance as soon as possible. 

You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.

Home Efficiency and Usage:

  • Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.

  • Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.

Purchasing Strategies:

  • Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.

  • Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.

Boilers provide even heating, energy efficiency, and a quiet operation compared to forced air systems.
