"Ranger did a great job. The estimators were friendly and thorough, the installers and team we encountered were all respectful and hard working. There was a problem with the electronics in the thermostat from the factory, they worked late and had to bring a new thermostat the next day, but the new one works perfectly. We will hire again for any other HVAC needs. We chose a higher quality AC unit and are glad we went with a quieter model, the unit is so quiet in the backyard."
"Terrific! Everyone was professional and showed up on time, and my customer service representative, Scott, was highly responsive. Only minor quibble was that I had to be proactive in terms of contacting the office to schedule installation date and for payment."
"Jane's replaced my 20-year old Munchkin boiler with a super efficient, modern Rinnai. Everyone was a joy to deal with. Service was excellent. Darian, who scheduled and arranged the replacement, and Greg and Oscar (who did the work) were fantastic. Excellent service, especially since I live on Lopez Island, which is not easy to get to. Competent, good-natured, hard-working, nice folks."
"I had an excellent experience with Jose Plumbing Excellence Northwest. They first helped me fix a leak, and later replaced my water heater when it went out. Both times, they were able to schedule me right away, which I really appreciated. The team was professional, efficient, and made sure everything was done correctly. Their customer service was great from start to finish, and they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!"
"Service was excellent/price competitive. Furnace went out during week of snow storm. Bob & Allen made it to my house and were able to install my furnace. Even though it was very cold and miserable (with them getting stuck in the snow and having to dig out just to make it in and out of my driveway) they remained professional and upbeat. You will see by the attached photos the huge effort these two men had taken to provide heat to a customer who had none. Thank you for going above and beyond. Will continue to be an annual service customer."
"Aaron Charles was our technician. He quickly diagnosed the condition as a faulty circuit board, called to have a co-worker bring a new one and got the furnace running like new. We were so impressed by how quickly he diagnosed the problem and corrected it. We will certainly use Mercurio's (and, hopefully, Aaron's) services again."
"G&S Heating is the best of the best! They just replaced our 1995 Lennox furnace that they installed with a 2020 Lennox furnace. The crew was phenomenal in craftsmanship and attitude. Our furnace is in the tight crawl space under our home which is a pain in the @#*! They really worked well together and it was so cool to learn that one of the guy's father had installed our furnace back in 1995 and he is still with G&S! Their entire operation focuses on customer service and satisfaction from the phone contacts to the sales reps to the job planners and finally the installers! I am giving G&S my highest recommendation and will have them install our new Kohler 20KW whole house generator soon. Thank you G&S... Tom H"
"We'd used them four years ago to replace our windows. They were about 40% the cost of Renewal By Andersen for the same Andersen windows, were professional and courteous throughout the process, and we haven't had a single problem since. So when we wanted to put in a heat pump system for efficient heating and cooling they were high on our list. We got four bids, and once again they were the least expensive, in this case by a 30% margin. They explained our options well, came up with some creative solutions (we're an old house with old vent-work which they bypassed for the ductless pumps but used for a top quality air filter), and did the job quickly and efficiently. They've checked back a couple of times since to make sure everything is ok, which it is, and it's been really nice to heat our bedroom on some cold nights and cool my western facing home office on some sunny afternoons). When the permit inspector asked before they came over who our installer is and I told them, they said "They do really good work." Definitely recommend them to others and in fact already have."
"After a fiasco with installing a dishwasher, Sea town came to my rescue installed the appropriate feed pipes and allowed the installers to return to complete the project."
Deciding whether or not to replace radiators with a different heating system depends on your personal preferences. Radiators can take longer to heat up than a central heating system, and they take up floor space. However, they can be very efficient at heating, and they keep rooms at a more comfortable humidity level in the winter than forced-air systems.
Oil boilers provide reliable heating, efficiency, and long-term cost savings compared to electric options.
Warmed or cooled air can escape your home through drafty windows and doors. If you notice any gaps, be sure to caulk and seal them. You can also hire a local pro for an energy audit to get a list of energy-saving recommendations.
Finally, check your insulation. It can settle in over time and become less effective. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that you can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or 11% of total energy costs) by sealing leaks and making sure attics, crawl spaces, and basements have a nice layer of insulation.
Most propane boilers last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance and proper care. The lifespan depends on the quality of the unit, proper installation, and the level of maintenance. Investing in annual service can maximize longevity and efficiency. Routine inspections and timely repairs prevent early breakdown, ensuring your boiler heats your home for years to come.
Coolant and antifreeze are technically not the same thing. The difference between the two is the ratio of water to other chemicals. True antifreeze is mainly made up of either ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, while coolant comprises one part antifreeze and one part water. However, the terms coolant and antifreeze are often used interchangeably, even by pros.
