"Had an oil to lp gas conversion. Needed to replace the boiler, existing hot water tank and remove the oil tank. Joe's Plumbing gave a great price, neat work, honest and easy to work with. The materials were high quality and they finished a head of schedule."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

"North Country PHC was a great choice for me.  You should consider it, too.
After the first winter in my recently purchased 1870's vintage house, it was clear that the patchworked heating system, aging and inefficient, was a big problem.  Upstairs had circulating hot water, poorly installed.  Downstairs had old electric baseboards.  There are no ducts anywhere in the house.  What to do?  Call experts!  Several 'experts' then made proposals that fell short in a variety of ways.  
I met Matthew and Karlene Gucker, the owners of North Country PHC, at a home show.  They listened and told me they very much wanted an opportunity to make a proposal.  They followed up in writing to underscore their interest in my job.  As I had liked them immediately, I made an appointment and hoped they would deliver a quality proposal.  
Matthew arrived at the appointed time, toured my house, listened carefully to my goals, took his time and made careful notes.  Before departing, he told me in detail how he would address the problems I had identified, showed me some problems I had not seen with my inexperienced eye, and explained how he would address all my goals for this big job.  He even significantly reduced the cost of the job by salvaging the hot water circulating system by correcting the offending plumbing problems in its installation.  His was, by far, the best response I had received.  
He quickly followed up with a detailed written proposal that outlined the work, the equipment, the time frame and a meaningful breakdown of the costs.  
North Country removed one decrepit boiler and two very old gas water heaters.  In their place, I received one modern energy efficient combination boiler that heats the entire house, as well as provides potable hot water.  The upstairs hot water circulating system now works perfectly.  The old, offending plumbing that held it together is gone and new, properly installed plumbing has  it all working like a dream.  Downstairs, the house is heated by a radiant system that was readily installed from the basement.  The house is warm.  The boiler is silent and costs less than its predecessor to operate.  I have all the hot water I can use.  Mission Accomplished!
During the installation, one of the company's crew members was hospitalized.  No one could reasonably foresee this would happen.  Matthew and Karlene immediately informed me and ensured that it created no greater delay in my job than was absolutely unavoidable.  The communication from them both was excellent and the inconvenience to me was almost non-existent. They made sure I was never without heat or hot water.  The entire delay lasted no more than a few days.  For me, it amounted to no problem at all, but only because of the pro-active response from Matthew and Karlene.  This could happen to any employer at any time, but not all of them would handle it as well as North Country did.  Their attentiveness to the matter was excellent and much appreciated.
I always felt I was in good hands during this large job. My confidence never wavered that I was getting a great result.  I was rarely without heat or hot water, and then only for a matter of a few hours when essential, relevant work was being performed.  
I subsequently had other contractors in the house to perform some work unrelated to the heating upgrade.  I had to nudge them away from their enthusiastic examination of the work Matthew had done.  They were greatly impressed.  When the inspector from the local department of buildings came to review the finished work, he was also most enthusiastic about it.  He told me, "I never see work this good.  You got great work done here."  
Matthew has been back twice, at no cost to me, to check the work and make some small adjustments.  I don't know how this job could have been better.  Thank you, Matthew.  Thank you, Karlene.  
If you have plumbing or heating work to do, Matthew Gucker's expert input should be sought and carefully considered.  North Country PHC delivers.

keep mold from returning.  Since I have respiratory issues, it seemed a necessary expense.  They did not have the proper light on the truck so we had to reschedule the install for a week later and that appointment also had to be rescheduled for the following day.  I was very happy with the work done, though only time will tell if it really was an issue for my health problems and I certainly know it needed to be done.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone and have done so.  I am going to write it up in the condo newsletter as something all should address and have told friends and family who have any respiratory issues about having it done.  I was told they will maintain the light every two years at no expense.  My suggestion would be that when someone is interested in booking there be more information about the possibility of needs to educate the consumers involved.  Once they are in the house doing the job it is too late to compare pricing for the work.

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals can recommend efficient layouts or appliances and ensuring regulatory compliance.

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.

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.

If your boiler is 20 years old, it’s time to get a new one. Although it may seem to be working fine, it’s likely eating up more fuel than it should. Also, compared to a brand-new boiler, one that’s 20 years old is probably not working as well. When you get your new unit, you’ll notice that your home is heating more quickly, and the heat is consistent throughout all the rooms.
