"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."

"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."

"I am extremely impressed with this business; from the beginning estimate to the installation,this business exceeds customer satisfaction! I had requested a quote online. The next day I received an email estimate for my request at the time, to replace the very old air handler as the condenser was just three years old. The next day I got a follow-up email asking if I had received my quote. I emailed back that yes, I received it, and I would get back to them as I was getting a few other estimates for comparison. Weeks later I requested an estimate from E&J for the condensor as well as the air handler. I had called other companies and was I impressed with Eric's estimate as it was competitive and fair, also lower than other well known companies in my area. Eric was very nice about me asking for proof of license and insurance and emailed the documents to me the same day. He was also willing to rewrite the estimate twice as I wanted to be sure it was detailed and nothing was left out. He came over and measured to be sure we were replacing with the correct size unit, and Jennifer called me soon after about financing. She was able to get me set up with the financing company the next day, which is a fairly low interest rate at 6.4% and they have options for 5 yr, 7 yr, 10 yr payment plans with no early payoff penalties. Eric was ble to put me on his schedule for the following Wednesday, just five days after signing with the finance company. Also, the finance company does not pay the contractor until I sign off that the work was completed to my satisfaction. Eric's crew took pictures of everything (as my air handler is in the attic above the garage), took out the old unit, installed the new unit as well as replaced the fuse (was the wrong size for system), replaced the drain pan and drain line, installed two float/cutoff switches, replaced some pipe insulation, new pad for condensor, cleaned everything up and installed my Honeywell programmable thermostat. Eric and his crew were extremely helpful and professional. They truly care about their customers and give excellent service. This has been the best experience that I've had with any contractor in my 10 years of home ownership. Before leaving after installation, Eric made sure he answered all my questions and ensured I understood everything. He even told me in about a week the unit will be inspected by a third party to ensure the system is up to code, and he will send me a copy of the permit. Eric will register the unit for the manufacturer warranty, and he offers a two year labor warranty as well as a two year maintenance warranty. This company went above and beyond, they even picked limbs up out of my back yard, and that had nothing to do with the a.c. install!"

Install Boiler questions, 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.

You can replace baseboard heaters with many other types of HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces, hydronic heating, and heat pumps. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, so the best choice for you will depend on your budget, preferences, and the design of your house. If you aren’t sure which option is right for you, ask an HVAC pro for guidance.

Scale from hard water is hard to diagnose until it starts causing problems. If your area has particularly hard water, that’s most likely what your boiler is using. If scale build-up becomes a problem, it starts to cause decreased flow and heating, and eventually, valve failures as valves become blocked. Let boiler professionals know if you’re worried about scale and they can offer advice or implement a solution.

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.

Heat pumps are significantly more efficient than boilers, typically providing three to four times the amount of heat for the electricity they consume. While boilers run on fossil fuels, heat pumps use only electricity. This efficiency can lead to long-term savings on operating and maintenance costs. However, heat pumps have a higher upfront installation price compared to boilers. Despite their lower efficiency, boilers remain a popular choice for many homeowners, with 8 million in the United States alone, due to their lower initial cost and less intensive installation process. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your home's infrastructure, your budget, and your personal heating priorities.
