"Jim is local. It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job. He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary. For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer, Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area. If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim. I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services. "

"The furnace and hot water tank are enclosed in a small closet because there is no basement. He accounted for the square foot dimensions of the house and our concerns about not enough airflow. He sized the two-stage 95% efficiency furnace and one A/C 16 SEER unit to specifically meet the house square footage requirements. When installing the furnace, he found the hole leading into the main ductwork to be extremely small so he cut it as large as possible. Then at his shop, he designed a specific stainless steel base that helped maximize the airflow into the ductwork. He installed a Rheem hot water tank because the small closet and its location would not allow for tankless. When installing the tank, he improved its location by moving the gas line, raised the tank off of the floor and built a new, straighter vent; he installed a water heater pan under the tank and piped an emergency overflow drain. He did much more than simply replace the units. By improving the layout and increasing the airflow, he completed the work as if it was his own house. I was impressed that he went to the extra time and work to bring everything to maximum efficiency, including the layout of the closet and accessibility to the controls of each unit. "
"My air conditioner was not working so I contacted my home warranty service and they sent a local company representative to checkout the problem. It was a capacitor - the technician installed the part and it has been working ever since."
The cost of propane and related services varies depending on tank size and location but generally ranges from $500 to $2,500 for installation and initial fill.
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.
The average lifespan of a boiler is typically between 15 and 20 years, though some may last for as little as 10 years while others can reach 30. A boiler's longevity is influenced by several factors, including the quality of the unit, proper installation, and consistent professional maintenance.
The material also plays a significant role. Older boilers made from durable cast iron can last for over 20 years, with some functioning for up to 50 years. However, it's important to consider their lower efficiency, which can lead to higher utility bills. Modern boilers, often made from steel alloys, are designed to withstand high pressure and temperatures and have an average lifespan of about 20 years.
To maximize your boiler's lifespan, ensure it is installed correctly, have it professionally maintained each year, and address any necessary repairs immediately.
Propane is more cost-efficient than natural gas on a per-unit basis because it produces twice as much heat energy as an equivalent amount of natural gas. But propane is not ideal if you already have a gas line installed. The best choice for your home depends on the efficiency of your appliances and the amount of installation required of your fuel choice.
Installation costs range from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on unit size, efficiency rating, and labor.
