"Purchased the deal in the evening on Friday Feb 12, 2016. At time of purchase I advised vendor that best way to reach me is by email or Angie's messaging. Also provided two possible dates in March for the work. Winston responded the next day via Angie's message, and we set up the service date for my  next weekday off, March 2. And I sent him some pictures of the plumbing and street valve. Could not get a commitment on an arrival time, but he called me that morning and advised he had a 9am dentist appointment, and would arrive after that. Showed up with his helper about 1.5 hours later. We could not get the street valve cover off, and thought it belonged to the city, so I made arrangements for Winston to come back today, March 15.
I called the city water dept, and they sent someone over, he said it was not their valve, it was mine and he couldn't touch it, I guess each city is different?.
Anyway, I got the cover off with the help of a saw, a big hammer and a pipe wrench in time for Winston to come back today. We communicated via Angie's messaging in the meantime. Still could not get commitment to arrival time, although I asked for 8am.
Called Winston at 8:15 this morning and he said he would be her by 9:15, arrived at  9:00. We could not get the street valve closed, it was stuck. Not surprised, as it has not been accessed in at least 30 years!. We decided he would put the new valve just downstream of my existing shutoff, and from now on, will not use the old one to prevent further leaks thru the valve stem packing. I also asked him to rebuild the hose bib in the garage adjacent to the main valve, and install heat tape on the pipe before wrapping it (I already had the heat tape, just never got around to installing it. When attempting to replace the washer in the hose bib, the retaining screw broke, so he installed a new hose bib into the old valve body for me. Although I was willing, Winston did not charge extra for the extra trip and the extras I asked him to do.
Overall, I am more than satisfied with this experience. My only complaint is not getting an advance commitment on arrival times. But once I did get a time, he was punctual, even early. Would give an A- on responsiveness if I could. But overall, an A experience!
Will definitely use A REAL PLUMBER again. In fact, we already discussed installing a freeze-proof valve for my backyard hose bib.

"We recently changed homeowner insurance companies. During our walk through, the new company stated that we had to have an old unused oil tank removed from our basement. My first instinct was to go to Google, where I found that it was very difficult to find companies whom performed this type of service. My next instinct was to try Angie's List. After calling several providers, I was receiving quotes from $325 - $800. We chose to go with High Octane for two reasons: A) The price was the best and B) I submitted for an online quote and they responded very promptly. That same day, they came out to our home and gave us a more concrete quote and we scheduled our appointment. We are very satisfied with not only the work that they performed, but the level of professionalism we received.

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.

If you have a closed-system boiler that requires an expansion tank, you cannot safely operate it without one, as this risks extensive damage or even explosions. You must find a way to make room for the installation. Options include repositioning the boiler, rerouting the boiler piping to a more open area, or performing minor remodeling to create the necessary space. If you are unsure whether your boiler needs an expansion tank or how to best accommodate one, it's recommended to have a local heating service professional assess the situation. They can confirm the requirement and suggest the most practical solution.

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.

No, there isn’t always water in radiators. In a one-pipe system, water is constantly circulating from the boiler to the radiators and back. In a two-pipe system, water travels through two separate channels: one that goes to your radiators and one that returns back to the boiler so it can heat up again.

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.
