"I contacted Duggins, in addition to numerous other heating and cooling companies, to obtain an estimate on replacing my entire HVAC duct system.  Having had some issues with it over recent years and doing quite a bit of research, we knew we were ready for better insulated flex duct, better air quality, and a more comfortably conditioned second story in our Cape Cod home.

David Mitchell was my service consultant.  He was very patient and thoughtful when responding to any of my questions, as well as providing thorough responses.  He listened to the issues that I told him we wanted to address, and very adequately proposed possible solutions.  He did not try to 'sell' me on anything I wasn't conveying I wanted, and offered his professional opinion on how to achieve my desired outcome.  Once provided with the final proposal, I was very pleased.  It came in quite a lot lower than the #2 company I was also considering.

My only additional consideration was to be assured that there would be no possibility of any sort of contaminant(s) left within my duct system / heating and cooling unit.  I had done some research on this issue, and David was more then willing to look over some internet links I sent to him regarding EPA approved sanitation products, etc.  To address these concerns, Duggins sub-contracted with The Duct Doctor to come on site to sanitize the one return box they were unable to replace, in addition to the blower, coil, etc.  I was not only very pleased that they made the effort to do this, which ultimately won them my business, but I was also very impressed with Jim Gehling, of Duct Doctor of the Triad.

The crew of three technicians that completed my job were timely, polite, and efficient.  They were thorough, cleaned up after themselves, and went to fairly great lengths to assure that my flex duct that ran through a chase to the second-story was completely removed and replaced.  Instead of cutting a whole into my wall, one of them was very resourceful and created a sort of internal ladder to access the chase, then climbing up inside to cut a whole slightly larger through the floor above so that they could pull the new flex duct down into the crawl space.  This saved me the additional work of replacing / repairing drywall!

I was VERY please with the estimate, the crew, and the work that was completed.  I will likely be switching my seasonal inspection contract over to them.  I would not hesitate to recommend Duggins Heating and Cooling to anyone. . ."

"Our motor burned out the week before Christmas during the night. I called Alpine and the serviceman was at our home the next morning.
He determined the problem, let us know the cost and the part was ordered immediately. He installed the part as soon as it came in. We have been standing customers with Alpine and the prior HVAC company with a service plan. We appreciated their responsiveness and flexibility. R Hall Durham

"Installation was excellent. Not only did he wire it up, but with his familiarity with WiFi control, he completed that effort also. System in house is over 15 years old and we are exploring updating system for better performance and lowering electric bill. Also looking at better gas water heater."

"Excellent! I was in a bind because my air conditioner went out and I really wanted to at least get a ceiling fan installed so I could survive the heat. Gerald responded immediately, was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was patient with me and my lack of knowledge. He explained things to me as he went along. He did such an excellent job installing the ceiling fan that I had him install a new light fixture as well. I will definitely be having him come back out to install some recessed lights in my kitchen. I can not recommend him more highly! He takes pride in his work and is a man of his word! Hire him. You won’t regret it. I sure don’t!"

Install Boiler FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on unit size, labor, fuel type, and whether additional piping or venting is needed.

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.

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.

Chilled water HVAC systems use water instead of traditional components and refrigerants. They're more common in commercial settings than residential ones but are slowly being adopted by some homebuilders to cool homes. As the name implies, the system keeps the water chilled at 40 degrees and circulates it through water coils. The water absorbs the heat from your home and drains outdoors. Condo apartments are more likely to have chilled water HVAC than single-family homes because this system is designed to cool several rooms or large areas individually.

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.
