"Maynor has taken care of our HVAC needs for years and we are very happy with them. When our unit was in need of replacement Mike Langdon thoroughly evaluated our upstairs space to assess the type of HVAC unit we would need. They were able to install it the next day. Installers Devan and Beiri were professional, kind, prompt and efficient and kept us updated throughout the installation. Our experience with Maynor has always been 5 stars."

"Alpine provides quick service and checks out any problems.  We are completely satisfied with their service and the professional quality of their employees.   In January 2011 they installed a new Everrest split system 16 SEER 48,000 btu air conditioner and coil
matched with Everrest 95% two stage condensing furnace.  They removed and disposed of existing unit.  They put in a new condenser pad and reconnected low voltage and communicating thermostat.  They removed existing duct work and installed new R-8 valve, insulated flex duct for both supply and return, sized for larger unit, and insulated existing floor boots, bringing them up to code.  They installed  airtight collars with dampers.  In short they removed the old system and put in new heating and air conditioning units and installed new ducts throughout the house.  The cost was $9084.

"I called Jonathan at lunch time, and he was at the house by 5:30 PM the same day. When he left, the system not only worked again, but it cooled much better than before. He quoted prices before performing work, took the time to explain what he was doing and why he recommended it, and did not try to sell expensive, unnecessary services. I will definitely call him the next time our system needs service."

"The sales person took his time to answer our questions, and he provided a variety of options taking into account price, noise, Seer rating, rebates and tax credits. I am extremely satisfied with the system that we purchased. The installation was great as well. The installer was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the finished installation looked very clean. All of the appropriate permits were filed with the city, and it passed inspection without any issues."

"CMC was very communicative up front and sent Martin out within days of my request. Martin installed an electrical outlet and light with a switch in my hall closet. He also quoted prices for additional projects in the house to do at a later time. Martin was friendly and clearly explained everything he needed to do. I’ll ask for him again next time!"

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

The cost of propane and related services varies depending on tank size and location but generally ranges from $500 to $2,500 for installation and initial fill.

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.

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.

The radiators closest in proximity to the boiler heating system will heat up first. Radiators in rooms farther away from the boiler will take longer to heat up and may be the coolest rooms in the house. The radiator unit itself should heat up evenly; otherwise, there may be trapped air inside it.

To figure out if your boiler is worth repairing or if you need to replace your boiler, first figure out how old the unit is. Boilers last 15 to 20 years, so if your unit is 15 years old or older, it may be better to replace the entire thing depending on the severity of the problems. If it’s not quite that old, then it’s probably worth repairing. Another thing to consider is whether your warranty covers any of the repair costs. If so, it may be worthwhile to repair your boiler to keep it running.
