"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.

"Provider called at about 8pm the night before to cancel a Monday appointment.  Granted, this was during a rough winter, but a little more advanced notice would have helped.
Seemed to do a nice, thorough job on the air ducts, however the deal was for a fixed number of supplies & returns.  I had fewer supplies, but more returns, so I was charged a surcharge for each additional return, even though they were shorter than most of my supplies.
Could have done a better job cleaning up dirt and dust that accumulated on my floors around the vents that had piled up during the vacuuming. 
Staff was very nice.
All and all pretty good though, would probably use again.  My vents were filthy and now they are not.

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.

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.

You can use a boiler and a furnace, although it’s not common to use both for whole-house heating. For example, your furnace may take care of HVAC heating through your vents, while a boiler powers your floor-based radiant heating in the bathrooms. Mixing and matching like this gives homeowners a variety of heating possibilities.

Boiler installations and replacements cost between $3,600 to $8,400. Expect to pay around $5,900 on average for a new boiler, including installation. Adding new radiators or heaters to the boiler may include separate costs if you are also upgrading those components, so the final price may be higher. To decrease costs, you can look for local energy rebates for using a boiler and wait until installers are offering discounts for a first-time installation.

When winter rolls around, and you turn the heat on for the first time in a year, it’s normal to sense a light odor. This could smell a little like burning because some dust has gathered in the heating unit over the warm months and will fade away shortly after. However, there are some smells you should watch out for and take caution around: an egg-like sulfur smell or an electrical burn odor would indicate there’s something wrong. Turn it off and call a professional for maintenance as soon as possible.
