"I had been told by another company that I needed to have my duct work replaced. It is only 7 yrs old so I contacted EF Martin for a free second opinion. They came out and did a visual inspection, showed me photos of where the other company said that there was damage and advised me that there were minimal repairs that needed to be done but that the work was still covered under the installing companies warranty."

"The guys worked tirelessly to complete it all. My new heat pump and my sisters' were installed in a very timely manner with a big enough crew to accomplish it all promptly, and so far are working fine. Vaughn and Lucas came to my house from my mom's to install the capacitor on a Friday afternoon when I'm sure they wanted to get done early. Everything is going well at present, though my mother will need a new coil which is in process, but her air is working and the guys said they would return if anything else was needed. They all went above and beyond, helping me to seal up cracks and crevices and to put new screen wire over the vents due to the snakes, which I had started doing myself. They were courteous, respectful and informative, and stayed till the job was done! Thanks to Rhonda and Brandy at the phones, and to Jason and Andy as well!"

"The contractor performed an outstanding installation. The first visit, he assessed the work to perform, then walk me through the process he would perform. He offered various units to accommodate my requirement before I decided on the best option. On the day of the installation, he arrived on time, took the necessary safety precautions, did the installation and then walk me through the process of what he performed and showed me the operations. His quality of work (A+) and the cost (A+) met our expectations."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

It takes about five to 10 minutes for heat to reach a radiator, then about one hour until the radiator fully heats up a room. The exact duration depends on the size of the room and how far away the radiator is from the boiler heating system. Heating up an entire house could take up to two hours.

A home radiator works by using radiation and convection to transfer heat throughout your home. Electric radiators use metal to conduct heat and warm the air, which then rises to warm the room. Steam and hot water radiators work with a boiler and piping system to pump thermal energy throughout the home. Hot water radiators use a boiler to heat the water before circulating it to the radiator, while steam heating radiator systems convert the heated water to steam before circulating it out. When the water or steam cools, it travels back to the boiler to be heated again.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

Hydronic and standard electric baseboard heaters differ in how they operate, their cost, and their performance. Standard convection heaters use electric coils to heat the air directly, while hydronic heaters warm a contained liquid like water or oil, which then radiates heat into the room.

In terms of cost and efficiency, hydronic heaters usually have a higher upfront price but are more energy-efficient and cheaper to run over time. This is because the heated liquid retains warmth, allowing the heater to continue providing heat for a while after the thermostat turns it off. In contrast, electric heaters provide heat more quickly but are less efficient.

Ultimately, the better choice depends on your priorities. If you need a room to heat up fast and have a lower initial budget, an electric heater might be suitable. If long-term energy savings are more important and you don't mind a slower heat-up time, a hydronic heater is likely the better option.

The cost of heating oil fluctuates rapidly based on supply and demand, but the average price is between $4.00 and $4.50 per gallon, which means filling a standard 275-gallon tank would cost between $1,100 and $1,240. Much like automotive gasoline, the price of home heating oil changes constantly, so the only way to get an accurate and current price per gallon is to contact a heating oil delivery company. Some companies also offer contracts with a set price that should be an average cost over the contract term.
