"I called about 30 heating and cooling guys and few of them would talk to me and never call back with the estimate. Few came in and gave me an estimate and one of them told me that I require a 4 ton. Airflow from Jacksonville came out and measured the house and came up with a 2.5 ton unit requirement just as I calculated and installed it. Pricing was better than anybody else. I would give him something higher than A across all categories."

"We wanted to replace our existing Heating, Air Conditioning Unit.  We called several contractors and had them out to give us an estimate.  Wes Hudson called us immediately, emailed us information to review before he came to give us an estimate.  He gave us a much more thorough evaluation of our existing system than the other contractors.  Gave us an estimate and when we told him we were going to check with another contractor to see if we could get the same unit at a lower price, he gave us an even lower price.  We checked Angie's List to see what his rating was and decided to go with him.  The installers were very neat and efficient and had the new unit in about 6 or 7 hrs.  We are very pleased with Hudson's and have already recommended him  to people in our neighborhood who saw that we were getting a new unit.  A plus!!"

Install Boiler FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Propane is more cost-efficient than natural gas on a per-unit basis because it produces twice as much heat energy as an equivalent amount of natural gas. But propane is not ideal if you already have a gas line installed. The best choice for your home depends on the efficiency of your appliances and the amount of installation required of your fuel choice.

Most home boilers will need an expansion tank. That’s because these boilers are closed-loop systems, where the water is trapped. An expansion tank is needed when the boiler heats the water and it expands, allowing air to condense in the tank to make room for the water. Other types of boilers don’t use an expansion tank, such as traditional steam boilers, but these aren’t as common. And hot water tanks may be able to use a pressure release valve instead. When in doubt, call in a pro to take a look.

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.
