"There were some scheduling issues due to an emergency, but that wasn't necessarily the company's fault.  Overall, it was a good experience, and I was happy with the services.  The technician provided a lot of helpful information about duct cleaning, he didn't leave any messes, and he arrived on time for the service."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

Boiler Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Attempting DIY fixes can be dangerous. Regular boiler maintenance can help prevent overheating, so schedule professional servicing as a preventive measure. In an emergency, telling occupants to leave the house is a good idea. Then, you can turn off the boiler and the gas or fuel supply. Let it cool naturally, and check the thermostat's settings. Ensure there are no obstructions around the boiler for proper ventilation. Monitor the pressure gauge; if it's too high, bleed the radiators if necessary. During this time, bringing in professionals for troubleshooting is also smart.

The best way to save money on HVAC repairs is by regularly having your system inspected and maintained. This can prevent bigger problems and costly repairs and replacements in the future. It’s also smart to buy quality equipment and hire companies that provide warranties on equipment and labor. If you need repairs, you may be able to save money by cashing in on rebates and incentives or keeping the area around your HVAC unit clear to shorten the time your contractor needs to spend in your home.

There are a couple of signs that will tell you it’s time to bleed the radiator. If the radiator is making noises, it’s typically because of trapped air, which you can release by bleeding the radiator. You can also test the radiator by turning on your heat and then placing your hand near the top and bottom of the radiator. If you feel cold spots, particularly at the top of the radiator, it’s time to bleed it.

In many cases, yes, you can fix a radiator without replacing it, and it’s usually more affordable to do so. Radiators are relatively simple fixtures that shouldn’t run into many issues, but when you do have a radiator problem, the solutions typically require minimal materials and just an hour or so of labor. The only issue that demands a full radiator replacement is if the unit itself is cracked. This typically occurs only with aging systems.
