"Very satisfied from start to finish. The mini split install looks great. They were very efficient and the job was done before I even knew it. I would recommend them to anybody for their furnace and air conditioning needs."
"The installers were punctual. They were very professional and friendly. They cleaned everything up before they left. There was no mess. I was very satisfied with the whole process. It's only been a few weeks since the installation so I am not able to comment on the longevity of how the units run over years or the service department."
"Removed covers on boiler, said it was too old "a museum piece" and he was afraid to work on it, might break old components. Started sell mode, new boiler for $7400, new Mitsubishi full home system for $25,800."
"Had wade install a Mitsubishi Mini Split with 4 ceiling units on the 2nd floor to assist with heating and cooling issues. The whole process was easy from beginning to end with very clear and quick communication. Also had them repair an existing system at the same time that was quick, hassle free and got me fixed up properly. I want to especially thank Lonnie, Mr Wade and the Installers for their expertise and professionalism along the way. I am extremely satisfied with the Mitsubishi units that were installed and would highly recommend their services!!!"
"When our pipes leaked, it was a really bad time. A lot of people in West Virginia had frozen pipes because there was a bad storm. There was at least 20 or 30 before us so they worked them, and they got to us in a day and a half. Considering what they had ahead of them, we know they must have worked overnight."
"I purchased the diagnostic service call from angie's list on Sunday, and on Monday morning Brian called me and came over the same day...He was extremely prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable...he took out the time to thoroughly explain the reason behind the leak, a low level of refrigerant, and fixed it in no time...he returned the next day to install a drainage pump for the condensed water...All was done very professionally and cheerfully, always explaining every step in detail.....aside from his professionalism, Brian is a very kind and helpful guy, and I can honestly say that he was by far the best contractor I ever hired....the job turned our great, and I'm enjoying my cool house in this heat...Thank you so much for a great job, Brian....I will call you in the fall to check my furnace for the winter"
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.
Boilers provide even heating, energy efficiency, and a quiet operation compared to forced air systems.
In most cases, repairing a radiator is more affordable than replacing it. A typical repair may cost between $100 and $200, while a replacement can average $1,500, with a range of $250 to $2,500 depending on the unit type. Radiator issues are often simple fixes for a professional, such as a blown fuse, malfunctioning thermostat, or a loose valve, and can take less than an hour. However, if the long-term costs of fixing the radiator are higher than replacement, it's better to get a new model. It is recommended to consult a heating expert to diagnose the problem and determine the best solution for your situation.
DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and technical expertise required. Hire licensed professionals.
You can replace baseboard heaters with many other types of HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces, hydronic heating, and heat pumps. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, so the best choice for you will depend on your budget, preferences, and the design of your house.
