"Great customer service! Josh and his team (Kevin and Chris - installers) were great from the first phone call until the house cooled down! Professional staff, took every precaution to keep our house clean while they worked, cleaned up afterwards....very customer focused. They met every timeline they provided. The ladies in the office staff were super friendly. Of note, it took a few days before we could get system installed. They delivered and installed window units in the den and bedrooms to get us through the hot days. All i all, a great experience and we can't recommend going anywhere else."
"Unlike another provider whom I did not hire, arrived exactly on time for the site survey. Worksite in Spotslyvania, VA, and I live in Arnold, MD, so about a 2 hr drive for me. Had a firm proposal within 24 hours, install was scheduled that day. On install day, technician arrived exactly on time, following all COVID precautions. Work was completed in slightly less time than he projected. Quality of the work was first rate. Left the house and area surrounding the work - install new heat pump outdoor unit and indoor unit in attic - cleaner than when they started. All three technicians who worked the project were just terrific. Friendly, respectful of the property, very informative. They made sure I understood the improvements they'd made to the ancillary portions of the system (e.g. drain pan and condensate drains from the attic), and worked through the new thermostat details as well. Everyone I'm came in contact with from Advanced Environment Solutions was professional, responsive and were truly interested in making sure I got what I needed. There is one other reason why I would implicitly trust these folks. When the president of the company (John Smith) came out to do the estimate, he carefully explained the various levels of the systems that would match the house. He did NOT try to "upsell" me on a system that was more expensive than the property warranted. He carefully explained the technical benefits of proposed upgrades to the drain systems and the need to install a path from the attic entrance to the interior unit for safety (agreed immediately). I'm a licensed mechanical engineer, and his explanations were complete and accurate. In sum, a highly professional company, exacting standards of technical performance, they listen to their customers and their integrity is unmatched."
"I chose this company because of its great customer service from the first phone call to the final installation and follow-up. They were able to install the next day and it took less than a day to install. They arrived early and finished sooner than expected. Everyone was so friendly, courteous and professional. Their rates were very competitive and I’m extremely happy with the New York Boiler installed. I plan to upgrade my AC with them in about 6 months. I highly recommend Dynamic Heating and Cooling!"
"The Energy Wise team was great. The technicians arrived on time and explained everything very well. They were very respectful of our house and completely the work quickly. The owner Matt came out as well to make sure everything was in working order and even gave some advice that went above and beyond. Very positive experience."
"Anthony and his team were great! They were very responsive and solid in their work ethic and quality of service. The team worked within the guidelines of cleanliness using masks and foot coverings in order to ensure the safety of the customers and the works space. I recommend them for all of your Hvac and general renovation needs."
"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."
"They did a good job. I got them from Angie’s List. The price is a little high but they did good work. They were very nice. I am pleased with what they did."
Installation costs range from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on unit size, efficiency rating, and labor.
One of the easiest ways to determine which type of furnace will work best for your home is to contact a professional in your area. Many HVAC companies offer free consultations to help potential customers determine if they need a new system and which type would work best for their home and the community’s climate.
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.
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.
A furnace is a big unit where gas, heating oil, or electricity heats the air. The warmed air is then pushed back out through ducts and vents.
A boiler uses electricity, heating oil, or gas to heat water that is pushed into the room through a radiator. This is one of the oldest and most effective ways to heat a house, but radiators can also be unsightly and leave hot and cold spots in the room.
Heat pumps use a refrigerant to move heat from outside into the house and return it to the room through ducts and vents.
