"I was very pleased with the customer service, price, and installation of the heat pump. The price of the heat pump was very reasonable and half the price quoted by my former HVAC company (a well known, high visibility company)."
"I brought my car in for service because it was running rough. A few months before I had the power steering pump replaced and within about a month it began to make a noise. I figured it was due to low fluid but, the fluid level was fine. ABS told me they would diagnose my car and give me a call and tell me what I needed to repair. They called me about an hour later at work and listed the repairs they recommended. Their list included a new power steering pump. I told them to not replace the pump, but to do all of the other repairs. I picked my car up that evening and as I was driving away noticed that the power steering pump wasn't making any noise. They didn't charge me for a new pump. So, when got home, I looked under the hood to make sure they hadn't replace the pump - they didn't. It's been about six months and my car is still running well and the power steering pump isn't making any noise. They did something to the power steering pump - repaired it, without charging me. I am thankful that I found ABS - They are polite, professional and highly competent! "
"Continental's technicians were highly experienced, professional, considerate, respectful, hard working, and neat. They arrived on-time when scheduled. Allied's drilling and trenching crews were excellent also. This was a big messy job that took about a week and we are very happy with the work that they did. The owner of Continental, Frank Jackson, sold us the system. He provided an extensive reference list that went back at least 15 years. He was on-site for most of the job providing hands-on supervision of his technicians. His technicians are so experienced that he didn't have to be there to supervise them. Rather, I believe he was there to make sure that the job was finished on time because they are so busy. Allied had an on-site supervisor at the start of the drilling process to finalize the location of the loop bores, but their drilling crew was highly experienced and needed no supervision. Installing geothermal is a messy job. The vertical bores and horizontal trenching for the ground loop makes a muddy mess. The drillers from Allied were very respectful to the property, much more than I expected. I expected that the drilling process would make "a mess and a half" but it only made a mess! At the end of the job the ground was re-leveled and ready for seed, which has already popped and growing grass. As one of the drillers said "the mess only takes grass seed to fix". The HVAC technicians from Continental left the spaces where they worked in "broom-clean" condition. We had to do some "deep cleaning" afterwards, but this was completely reasonable. We expressed our concerns about the job to the technicians before they started work because we do not know much about HVAC or geothermal. They took the time to explain what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. They kept us fully informed about their progress and included us in the decision making process when they had more than one way of running a pipe or duct. They made us feel really comfortable and that we were getting a top-notch job. While the cost for the system from Continental was a little bit higher than their competitors I think we got value for money. In addition to the reference list we received during the sale process, we also know two families that used Continental in the recent past and they are very happy with the work that was performed. We would use Continental again and would recommend them to others. If you go with the option to integrate your hot water heater with the geothermal system (which is supposed to reduce the cost of the hot water that you use) I would reccommend that you bite the bullet and have a preheat tank installed at additional cost. We didn't do that and in retrospect we should have based on some further reading that we did about how to get the most bang for the buck from geothermal. It would be easy to install the preheat tank during a new construction project. It would be harder to install the preheat tank during a replacement project (like ours was). "
"I’ve used Drymount Air multiple times for multiple projects. They installed a new water heater, added a humidifier, disconnected and reconnected my air conditioners during a patio installation, put in new smart thermostats and various plumbing jobs. They have always been upfront and honest about what I should and shouldn’t do and given me multiple options. When is used to get multiple estimates, they were typically the lowest, I now don’t even get other estimates. They have always arrived on time, sometimes early squeezing me in during a lunch or between customers. They are courteous and during the pandemic have taken all safety precautions. And lastly came late in an evening to help with an emergency and did what was necessary to get me through the night and came back the next day to finish. They are the first call I would make if I needed anything and would be lost if they were unavailable. I highly recommend!"
"They technician was punctual professional and clean. they gave me good advice about problems that they foresaw with the HVAC system, but I want ready to do that yet."
Professional HVAC installation requires licensed expertise in several areas, including electrical- and plumbing-related work. An HVAC team must know how to safely handle regulated refrigerant chemicals and the gas, oil, or propane used in furnaces and boilers. A proper HVAC installation protects your home from energy loss, fires, and even carbon monoxide leaks.
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. If you aren’t sure which option is right for you, ask an HVAC pro for guidance.
Unless they are connected to the same system, boilers and water heaters will both need their own expansion tanks. The only case they wouldn’t have separate expansion tanks is if the boiler is pulling double duty and managing a heating system while also supplying hot water for a home. In which case, you may not need a hot water heater.
An expansion tank must always be installed on the supply side, which is the side where the boiler sends water out to heat the systems. That placement allows the water to push against the air and condense properly as it is heated, then circulated through the system. Professional installers can recommend the best place on the supply side for an expansion tank.
The radiators closest in proximity to the boiler heating system will heat up first. Radiators in rooms farther away from the boiler will take longer to heat up and may be the coolest rooms in the house. The radiator unit itself should heat up evenly; otherwise, there may be trapped air inside it.
