"Kyle was amazing, in that he provided timely and accurate answers to all of my questions. They showed great respect for my home. The entire process of working through the options and their explanation of each one was top-rate.
I really wanted to go with them as a company, but for the exact same equipment, another bid was about two-thousand dollars less.
I still wish their price had been closer, as I would have been willing to pay a slight premium to have them do the installation.
The impression I received was that their bids are usually very competitive. They were genuinely surprised that another bid was lower and puzzled over how the other company could provide the same equipment for less.
I would recommend Kyle and Sun Glow to anyone looking for an honest, respectful company to install heating or air conditioning equipment.

"Furnace stopped working Sat evening, called and scheduled for next day service call. Corie showed up on time. He was courteous and professional. After a few minutes of checking various connections, he diagnosed the problem(loose connection). After fixing the problem and making sure it was working correctly, he cleaned up his work area, and left."

"I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was okay. They did a good job, but in the course of trying to sell me another service they pulled up a floor vent and made kind of a mess in my hallway, which I was not super-happy about, but it was not the end of the world. He did not ask me if he could pull up the vent and if he would have asked me I would have told him not to do it. This was the first time I used this company. They were very fast and efficient with the dryer vent cleaning and I have no complaints about that at all. I had a little trouble getting the service scheduled."

"Phone calls were answered promptly, and the estimator arrived within a week and provided a written estimate on the spot - far better service than the 2 other companies we called for estimates. Alpha Energy was running a special for the month of July, so the price was very competitive. The team that came to do the work was on time and efficient. The only problem was a miscommunication between the estimator and the work crew. We were told that they would be able to remove the siding and drill holes on the exterior to install the insulation - but the work crew thought they were to drill holes on the inside. They were not able to remove the siding without cracking it, so we had them do the installation from the inside. The work was perfectly fine, but did not include patching of the holes in the walls. This was not the fault of the work crew - they did a fantastic job. I would just recommend having everything spelled out in the estimate to avoid misunderstandings."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Chilled water HVAC systems use water instead of traditional components and refrigerants. They're more common in commercial settings than residential ones but are slowly being adopted by some homebuilders to cool homes. As the name implies, the system keeps the water chilled at 40 degrees and circulates it through water coils. The water absorbs the heat from your home and drains outdoors. Condo apartments are more likely to have chilled water HVAC than single-family homes because this system is designed to cool several rooms or large areas individually.

Yes. Boilers need water to run without overheating, also known as dry firing. If you run it without a sufficient volume of water, either because of a burst pipe or a leak, you run the risk of damaging your machine or jeopardizing the safety of your home as a whole. When in doubt, shut off your boiler and repair any plumbing issues before turning it back on. Alternatively, consider installing a low-water cutoff (LWCO) before any issues arise. This gadget will protect your boiler by monitoring water levels and automatically shutting it off if it gets too low. 

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.

To figure out if your boiler is worth repairing or if you need to replace your boiler, first figure out how old the unit is. Boilers last 15 to 20 years, so if your unit is 15 years old or older, it may be better to replace the entire thing depending on the severity of the problems. If it’s not quite that old, then it’s probably worth repairing. Another thing to consider is whether your warranty covers any of the repair costs. If so, it may be worthwhile to repair your boiler to keep it running.

Most home boilers will need an expansion tank. That’s because these boilers are closed-loop systems, where the water is trapped. An expansion tank is needed when the boiler heats the water and it expands, allowing air to condense in the tank to make room for the water. Other types of boilers don’t use an expansion tank, such as traditional steam boilers, but these aren’t as common. And hot water tanks may be able to use a pressure release valve instead. When in doubt, call in a pro to take a look.
