"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

"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

Installing a boiler requires training, a specific skill set, and extensive experience. Boiler installation can be extremely dangerous, as it involves working with water lines, gas lines, and electricity. For this reason, it’s strongly recommended that you hire a professional to install your boiler. Some states even consider it illegal to work on a boiler without the proper licensing.

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.

If you go to turn it counterclockwise and it won’t turn anymore, it’s open. Like most other valves, you should be able to turn a radiator valve counterclockwise (to the left) to open it and clockwise (right) to close it. To close a radiator valve, turn it clockwise until you meet some resistance and can’t turn anymore, but do so carefully to avoid breaking the valve.

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.

Steam boilers require flushing at least every six to 12 months to keep them operating effectively for as long as possible. Depending on your water quality and frequency of use, you might need to do this more frequently. The flushing process helps to remove problematic buildup of sediments. While a boiler contractor near you can perform a thorough annual flush, learning how to drain the system yourself means you can do this monthly if you experience speedy mineral accumulation because of hard water.
