"After listening to my needs and concerns Alex designed me a perfect TRANE system to ensure my home stayed cool and comfortable. The install team was professional and courteous. They made sure to listen and comply with any special concerns I had (I'm kind of OCD) before they started any work. The install was done in a timely manner and they ensured that they cleaned up everything before they left. Before deciding on Total, I had talked to other companies and received other quotes. In conjunction with all the "extras" Total does standard (like drawing a permit), Alex delivered me a better system, for the money, than anyone else by far. It is hard to be excited about spending this much money on an AC system but when it hit the hottest day of the year (thus far) and my upstairs was still sitting at a cool 71, I was smiling from ear to ear. I highly recommend this company."

"They quoted a fair price, arrived well within the time frame they said they would (it was same-day service), and were courteous, professional, and thorough.  I would not hesitate to use them again, or recommend.

**Update from yesterday**  Bit of serendipity--I found my receipt from the previous water heater installation in 1996.  Davis had done that one as well.  They did a great job then, and they did this time as well.  Wish I'd found it to show Sean--he said our place looked familiar."

"My heat pump had gone on the fritz just before I went out of town on May 20th. As soon as I returned on the 23rd I went about contacting contracting to get prices. I met with Lee, from ARS, on the 24th and agreed to a deal for a Carrier purchased through Home Depot. The installation was started and completed on 5/29. Great to have cool air again and lower electric bills. Would definitely use again but I suspect this unit may outlast me."

"A part had to be ordered for the repair! They keep me informed on status of part delivery and were quick to schedule time to install when part arrived! The tech explain how part work and what he was doing as he installed it! He also followed up by calling me later to check if everything was fine!"

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Yes. In many cases, switching from an old furnace to a high-efficiency boiler can help you save money over time. You can also save money by switching from an electric boiler to a gas boiler, which costs much less compared to the energy bills an electric boil can create. Boilers are often (but not always) more efficient than furnaces, too. Then there are discounts, rebates, and incentives that can help you save on the initial costs.

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.

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.

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
