"We were switching over from oil to propane heat. It was a pleasant experience from the time we first met Jason who was very knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. The installers were very professional and did a great job. Aire Serve worked seamlessly with Curtis oil and job was completed in 1 day. We are warm happy campers and would definitely recommend Aire Serve and Curtis Oil & Propane."

"Mike was friendly and efficient. He hooked up our gas stove (and had warned us when we first called to make sure we had the proper electrical for it...which we didn't and arranged thanks to him) . He also took time to check out another job we might do in the future. Would definitely work with him again."

"We not only contracted Eric Stone to install a new water heater, but to also move and install a new well pressure tank, which was failing, from under our manufactured home, to an inside storage closet location, and then re-pipe our home water supply from the new inside location of the pressure tank to the newly installed water heater. When I first met Eric for an initial bid, I felt very confident in the fact that I had chosen the right plumbing contractor for our project, and his knowledge and expertise plus his likeable demeanor did not let me down. Eric's bid was fair and complete, he and his crew showed up on the agreed date and time, and his crew of two additional plumbing techs, Ethan and Hunter, were very knowledgeable, courteous, and just all around good guys and a delight to have them working my home. The finished product of the installation was exactly what I had envisioned, and the work area was cleaned up on completion. Needless to say I am thrilled to death with Eric's work and would highly recommend his company to anyone contemplating a like project."

"Hired the Comfort Company to install a new propane high efficiency furnace, air source heat pump and take out my old nasty oil tank. Very satisfied and my wallet took a smaller hit than I thought it would! Highly recommend!"

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.

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.

If you want a new boiler that’s going to help lower your fuel bills, you should buy one that has a high energy-efficiency rating. For example, a boiler that is rated “A” uses at least 90% of the energy created by the boiler. And in order to enjoy the best performance, it’s important to have it installed properly by a highly-rated tech.

Always consult your manual for specific pressure numbers. Many expansion tanks come pre-pressurized at a specific PSI range, anywhere from 12 to 40 PSI, designed for a range of home boilers. You should not have to pressurize an expansion tank yourself, only the boiler system. If your system has a tank that needs to be manually pressurized, this is generally a job for professionals and their tools.

Warmed or cooled air can escape your home through drafty windows and doors. If you notice any gaps, be sure to caulk and seal them. You can also hire a local pro for an energy audit to get a list of energy-saving recommendations. 

Finally, check your insulation. It can settle in over time and become less effective. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that you can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or 11% of total energy costs) by sealing leaks and making sure attics, crawl spaces, and basements have a nice layer of insulation.
