"It was great! The sales person came to our home and discussed with us what we needed. Our old system was over 20years old. Gave us a great price and installation was quick. We have had no problems since the system was installed and we have them come annually to just check things out. We highly recommend Climatemakers. They have honest and hardworking employees. They have been in business 65+ years which says a lot about the quality of their business."

"We met Tim the owner at the Homeowner show at the Convention Center. Surprised at how personable he was. Cynthia, who handles customer service was very amiable and eager to help. Ryan, the service representative came out and gave us an estimate of a new HVAC system, since ours had died at the colder time this year.we accepted the bid and Ryan came out started the prep work. System was installed in one day. Ryan came out the next day to check everything. We concluded our business and we have wonderful heat. I cannot sing their praises enough. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Judy Sweetland educated us on all of our options when we suddenly had to replace a leaking gas hot water heater. She priced and explained the pricing and installation requirements on different options-tankless, high efficiency and standard models. Judy also checked to see if there were any current rebates available. All of this research and install was done within a day. We appreciated the fast service since we were without hot water, and we felt confident in our decision. The technicians wore masks and disinfected everything that they touched, due to Coronavirus, They were professional and knowledgeable. We are likely to use them for other projects. Judy also honored a $350 online coupon. Thank you, Sweetland's, for a job well done!"

"I have a Heat Pump system that was installed by another company that is still under warranty with that company. That company sent a technician out to diagnose the system. He told me he was unable to diagnose the system because the breaker kept tripping and that he thought I might have a bad breaker, and estimated the replacement at $369. The following day, there was no follow up. No one returned, and after a full day of repeated calls by me and my wife I could not get an update on the status. I’m describing this to let you know how dire my situation was BEFORE I called Absolute Comfort; 2 days without A/C on very hot days and unable to get help from the company I’ve been doing business with for nearly 10 years. I called Absolute Comfort at 3:30 PM. They sent a Technician (Chris), who arrived less than 2.5 hours later. He reattached the wires (disconnected by the other company's technician), and reset the HVAC. The system has been running perfect. The service call fee was a little higher than I’m used to, but well worth it. I will definitely use Absolute Comfort again and recommend them to others. Chris was awesome. I wish I could remember who I spoke to on the phone, because she was extremely helpful as well. I sincerely apologize to her for not remembering her name."

"I was very pleased with the work I had done. I had a new HVAC system installed a few years ago and Alex from AirDuct Care found that the supply box on the system was not correct. The insulation was on the inside of the box rather than outside which he said could be causing problems. I had the supply box replaced and the one that was originally installed had been growing mold. This issue was never found by any heating/air conditioning people that have been servicing my system. I then had all the ducts cleaned and sanitized. The techs were on time, friendly, they worked efficiently. They cleaned all the vent covers and did touch ups on any ceiling plaster that came loose. Bill did a great job."

"Dana and his crew were awesome. they did exactly what I wanted them to do and did it in a timely fashion. The breaker in my house went bad and Dana was able to get an HVAC service out to my house asap to help us out during the heat wave. Once they finished installing the breaker, Nick came out and fogged the system before I had to leave the next morning. they were definitely punctual! best money and service out there!"

"After calling to explain the problem, was told to turn the system off with the possibility that someone might come out the same day. They called back shortly to set up an appointment for service at an agreeable time the next day (within 24 hours). The two men arrived on time and checked the equipment. They found the likely cause of the problem, were very pleasant, informative, and professional. We plan to set up a seasonal maintenance program with this same company for two independent heating/cooling units in our home.

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Boilers are equipped with multiple safety features to ensure safe operation. These include pressure relief valves to prevent overpressure, temperature high-limit switches to avoid overheating, and flame failure safety devices in gas boilers to cut off the gas supply if the flame goes out unexpectedly. Low water cutoffs prevent operation with insufficient water levels, and pressure gauges help monitor pressure levels. Ventilation and flue systems prevent the buildup of harmful gasses. Boilers often feature error code systems for automatic shutdown during malfunctions and gas leak detection for safety. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure these safety features function correctly.

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. 

There are several types of home radiators, and the most common are steam heat radiators, electric radiators, and dual-fuel radiators. Steam heat radiators are connected to a boiler. Electric radiators can operate without being connected to anything else—they just need an electrical outlet. If you have a dual-fuel radiator, you’ll see a valve at the bottom of the system with a wire coming out of it and going into a wall. These are often your towel radiators in the bathroom. The type of radiator you have will impact how you turn it on.

If you have a closed-system boiler that requires an expansion tank, you cannot safely operate it without one, as this risks extensive damage or even explosions. You must find a way to make room for the installation. Options include repositioning the boiler, rerouting the boiler piping to a more open area, or performing minor remodeling to create the necessary space. If you are unsure whether your boiler needs an expansion tank or how to best accommodate one, it's recommended to have a local heating service professional assess the situation. They can confirm the requirement and suggest the most practical solution.

Generally, an oil furnace is considered safer than a gas furnace for several reasons. While both types of furnaces can produce carbon monoxide, a leak in an oil furnace is easier to detect due to the smell. Oil furnaces also don't connect to a gas pipeline, which reduces the chance of a fuel leak. Most importantly, heating oil is not combustible, whereas natural gas is highly flammable. This means there is a much lower risk of combustion or explosion with an oil furnace. However, an oil furnace can still pose a fire hazard if it tips over.
