"The service technician Victor arrived on time and politely introduced himself. Prior to commencing work he inspected the work area (installation and clearances etc). He explained the house heating would be off as he cleaned filters etc. After cleaning/adjustment/testing was conducted, he went over the test results printout with me. All good and nothing required further work."
"Very well. I felt Craig was very professional and very knowledgeable. I think the previous company did me a favor when I was told they couldn’t service my boiler any longer"
"I asked for a rep to come to give quotes for repair or replacement of my gas boiler. Before he came the old boiler failed, and Heritage was able to quickly install a new one so that we without heat and hot water for only a short time."
"Sunrise Heating and Cooling did an excellent job installing my new Rinnai tankless water heater/boiler. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. The crew was knowledgeable, punctual, and took the time to explain the system and answer all of my questions.
The installation was clean, efficient, and clearly done with attention to detail. Everything works perfectly, and I couldn?t be happier with the upgrade. It?s clear they take pride in their work.
If you?re looking for reliable, honest, and high-quality service, I highly recommend Sunrise Heating and Cooling."
"My only complaint was when I made the call I was not told that there was a service fee - that is not right! The guys that installed the water heater were great and left no mess - they get 5 stars â ï¸"
"The Paul the plumber team was really great. I needed a whole AC replacement, air handler and compressor/ heat exchanger. From quote to install was under a week! This all happened during those crazy hot 95+ degree days so it was urgent. The only issue I had was the air handler was installed backwards. The team had to come out a 3 rd day to make it right. But they did and no harm no foul. The price was right and the quality and craftsmanship looks really good. I definitely recommend Paul the Plumber."
"They fixed our issue of replacing a full size oil tank by installing two small oil tanks to fit in the crawl space in the basement. Very happy with the results."
"Working with Triumph was an amazing experience. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and well spoken. In New England where heating is an essential service I felt totally confident Triumph would do a superb job installing my new boiler. They even moved their schedule around to install the unit the very next day. I plan to hire them in the future for all my heating, cooling, and plumbing needs."
Yes. In many cases, switching from an old furnace to a high-efficiency boiler can help you save money over time. You can also save money by switching from an electric boiler to a gas boiler, which costs much less compared to the energy bills an electric boil can create. Boilers are often (but not always) more efficient than furnaces, too. Then there are discounts, rebates, and incentives that can help you save on the initial costs.
The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics.
Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.
Costs depend on system size, efficiency rating, and additional features like zoning or smart controls.
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.
