"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"First, let me say that Eric's team not only did a great job, they probably saved me several thousand dollars. We just bought a house as rental property, and knew we'd need several major jobs done.  Eric gave us a better deal by doing them all at once.
The old deck was falling apart and not to code, since it was just screwed to the house and not secured to the house framing.  Eric used new technology that meets code and allows the deck to be installed without tearing out the ceiling inside the house.  The new deck is strong enough to have gorillas jump on it and still be safe.  We went with composite boards to make the deck last longer and reduce maintenance. Now we don't lose rent on the lower unit while the deck is installed, and the upstairs tenants are safe on the deck.
Water was draining down a hill right up to the house walls, so Handyman Xpress dug the trench, put in the French drain both above and to the side of the house to prevent water damage to the foundation, and replaced an old leaky downspout with a new one.  This area was not accessible by vehicle, so it had to be dug by hand in the cold, hard ground in January.
There had been a leak behind the shower in the lower bathroom.  The entire wall, surrounding tile, and cast iron tub had to be removed down to the studs, as well as 2 sinks. Then  sheet rock, a new tub, new surround, new wall with water resistant drywall, replacement tiles for wall beside the tub, and paint were used to fix the tub/shower.  The previous owner(s) had used galvanized pipes and jerry-rigged techniques that resulted in leaks and probable future problems. Eric's crew arranged to have the plumbing issues resolved preemptively.  All the fixtures were updated and the bathroom was painted. 
Additionally, there were several things we needed done that had not originally been on the list for Eric. We needed a broken window in the garage door replaced, and had them use plexiglass instead of ordinary glass. Looks great and is sturdier as well.
There were 2 broken cabinets in the kitchen and a broken medicine cabinet in another bathroom that was replaced. The dropped ceiling over the upstairs shower was falling, and they repaired that as well. The crew also added a couple of bars, hooks, and towel racks in the bathroom.  The team was very willing to do these as well.
Overall, everyone with Handyman Xpress was polite, friendly, courteous, patient, and professional. (Sounds like a Boy Scout troop, but it's true).

"Guy that came out said that it was an issue of the boiler not having enough water. He turned the valve to force water to it and and ended making a mess in my basement floor of black gunk water that I had to clean up. Idk if that was necessarily the issue, he said that’s all it was and nothing else needs to be done. He didn’t provide any type of explanation as to why it wasn’t getting enough water when turned on as this is something that should be self regulated, not something I should have to monitor anytime I turn my heat on. I won’t even necessarily know if this is the case and it’s fixed until fall rolls around again and we need heat, as it is now warming up. I hope that he was correct but quite pessimistic, and felt that a more thorough check should of been done."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

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.

Deciding whether or not to replace radiators with a different heating system depends on your personal preferences. Radiators can take longer to heat up than a central heating system, and they take up floor space. However, they can be very efficient at heating, and they keep rooms at a more comfortable humidity level in the winter than forced-air systems.

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.

There are several types of home radiators, and the most common are steam heat radiators, electric radiators, and dual-fuel radiators. Steam heat radiators are connected to a boiler. Electric radiators can operate without being connected to anything else—they just need an electrical outlet. If you have a dual-fuel radiator, you’ll see a valve at the bottom of the system with a wire coming out of it and going into a wall. These are often your towel radiators in the bathroom. The type of radiator you have will impact how you turn it on.

The cost-efficiency of baseboard heaters depends on the type and how you use them. Generally, standard electric baseboard heaters can be expensive to run because they use electric resistance heating, which is less energy-efficient than systems like forced-air or heat pumps. However, hydronic and gas versions are typically much cheaper to operate. Hydronic models are more energy-efficient because they heat a liquid that retains warmth longer, preventing the thermostat from turning on and off as often. The overall running cost is also influenced by local electricity rates, your home's insulation, and your usage habits. To increase efficiency, you can use baseboard heaters for zoning, meaning you only heat the specific rooms you are using.
