Get matched with top boiler installation pros in Hackensack, NJ

"The installation went well. The crew arrived on time and completed the job on schedule. Included was a one year guarantee on labor and 5 years on the unit. The price was fair. We will use the company again for future jobs."

"I had two service techs from Speer come out. The first took a look at my 1951 boiler and told me flat-out that he didn't know enough about a system that age to help. He said he didn't want to charge me and waste my time without being able to offer qualified service, which I very much appreciate. He called his supervisor and they scheduled a second appointment, two weeks later, with a tech who was more familiar with older systems. Two weeks later, another technician came, and he clearly knew what he was doing and was very polite and professional. He was patient with me, and all my questions and he spent time to look at my boiler, my (also 1951) driveway snow melt system, and my AC handler in the attic. Ultimately, the service he did amounted to vacuuming out my boiler, checking the burners and pilot (which all worked fine and didn't require service or replacement), checking my AC filter and explaining how the snow melt system was supposed to work and why it didn't. No actual repairs were performed, no parts replaced. The bill came to just north of $300. I had originally been quoted $96 for a check up. I was charged an hourly labor rate on top of the $96 fee which was roughly $100/hr, billing for two hours, since he was on site for about 90 minutes. Much of that time was my fault for asking a million questions, and his expertise was certainly valuable and as I said, he was super patient with me (possibly because he knew he was billing me $100/hr to ask him a million dumb questions). I don't feel like I was ripped off, or lied to, but I do feel like advertising a $96 "check up" that ends up cost 3x that is a little deceptive. I was very happy with the quality of the service and I think Speer is a quality company to do this kind of work. Just be sure that when you are booking the service call you are very clear about finding out how much it will cost."

"Kevin was great! The rest of the company not so much. Kevin diagnosed the problem immediately as the thermostat, had a replacement in the truck, and completed the installation of the new unit quickly. He showed me how to program the updated version, and everything seemed to be fine - until the next morning. Turned out the replacement was defective. When I called, I was told that they might not be able to get back to me that day, but Kevin interrupted his schedule to come back and put in a new (and working) unit at no charge."

"The technicians performed routine maintenance and repair of two boilers their company installed two years ago. They did a thorough job of flushing the water heating lines, testing the system, and re-installing a low-water shut off valve that had failed last year. I have used this plumbing company for years and will continue to do so, highly recommended to people in the Northeast New Jersey area."

"Bob is a reliable and competent specialist. Few other contractors tried to fix the boiler with no luck. Bob came and did the work professionally and promptly. I recommend Bob for anyone who is in need of fixing boilers. He is a 5 star contractor. Thank you Bob !!!"

"Fred came in on 2 occasions. First time to repair my boiler. He did a great job at 1/3 the price PSE&G wanted. The second time he came in to fix a broken backflow valve that PSE&G would not !! He did both very well. He knew the problems before I could even tell him. I would highly recommend Fred."

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

"Professional installation. Completed in time promised.

"My wife and I appreciated the time Wayne took explaining what needed to be done and answered all of our questions prior to and during the installation. He and his crew did an excellent job installing the 2 high efficiency HVAC systems. Both systems are running well. I thank Wayne for his ongoing dialogue during the installation which gave us confidence in the quality of his workmanship. Even though the systems installed were an upgrade the cost was less than all the other installers that gave us price quotes for the project."

"After interviewing four contractors and reading reviews on Home Advisor we decided upon Cesare from A&C Quality Air. Our project was to remove an oil boiler and replace it with a gas boiler. Hi price was VERY competitive. We were told that the project would take two (2) days for the removal and installation of the boiler. However, it took four (4) days. After providing Cesare with the necessary paperwork for the Town electrical and plumbing permits we were assured that he would take care of the processing of the paperwork. This was not to be the case. After numerous calls to Cesare and Town Hall we were told that the proper paperwork had not been filed and the work being done may make us, the homeowners, liable for a $2000.00 fine for each permit not filed before the work began. Needless to say, we were not happy. In working with the Town Hall we were able to avoid the fines and get the permit process on the fast track. To his credit, Cesare did help with fast tracking the permits as we had been without heat since before Christmas. As to the contract, the terms were as follows; One half due upon signing the contract, and one half due upon completion. After paying the first half, Cesare asked for two additional partial payments prior to the work being completed. We gave him a partial second payment but were reluctant to pay anymore since the contract did not call for it. The boiler has been making noise and Cesare said it was "water hammer" caused by faulty radiator valves or radiators not being pitched correctly. We have checked for both of these issues but that is not the case. The boiler is still making noise occasionally. He did come by once to check the noise but has not returned a recent text to check the issue. His crew was very professional in their craftsmanship and work ethic. We may recommend him to others."
