"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."
"Crew was very prompt and professional. Took care to put booties on whenever entering the house and courteous of your needs. Very nice, professional installation and site picked up and cleaned after completion. Thorough walk through and explained any questions don’t hesrtate to call and they will be more than happy to come back out and help."
"Received 4 quotes. Cummings was the least expensive that I used to bargain two others to. They matched but had install dates of 30 days. Cummings had their electricians and HVAC guys here in 8 days. Installation done in 4 hours. All had good customer service & tech skills."
"Appointment was setup up quickly. Service provided two days after contact. David showed up promptly and was very courteous and professional. He discovered and resolved a significant problem with my HVAC system which was costing my hundreds of extra dollars a month on my energy bill. Also fixed the installation of my thermostat. I was very please with Airpro's service."
"The entire process went very smooth. From the initial call to final install, everyone was pleasant to work with. The Comfort Advisor, Scott, put my mind at ease with all my questions and concerns. I got the quote shortly after the assessment, accepted and was scheduled for install very quickly after. The install team was very communicative during the process. They all came in and worked together to get the job done in a short amount of time and left the area looking better than when they arrived. Everything has been working great and I couldn't be happier with my heat pump. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know."
"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."

"Blue Flame's team did a great job from the initial consultative assessment, bid and installation. Bid was competitive and fair. The entire team was service oriented and responsive. Installation was quick - two crews sent to enable one day install, complete and left clean and orderly. A+"
"I have been very satisfied with Mercurio's throughout the whole process. Their representative, Tim, was very professional and responsive during the bid process, doing a good job with measurement and calculations and getting back to me with a bid and responding to all questions very timely as I worked through the combination of brand, features and warranty that I wanted based on my research. After contract signing, Mercurio's was great in terms of scheduling and their crew came when they said they would come, were professional and courteous and got the job done ahead of schedule. The real differentiator, though, for me has been Mercurio's service since the installation. Mercurio's gurantees all labor and material for 1 year from the date of installation and has great emergency service and they really stand by that guarantee. 1 month after installation (with the weather turning already colder), my family returned from a short vacation on a Saturday evening and found that the furnace was not working. We called Mercurio's and their emergency technician was there in under 30 minutes. He resolved the immediate problem (error code on the motherboard) and then scheduled a time for the next week to come by and make an adjustment to the condensation drain (possible cause of the error code). Later in the fall, the error code appeared again and caused the furnace to not work on a weekend night. Again, the technician was out in under 30 minutes, resolved the issue, and then came back to replace the control board a couple of days later. We have had no problems after that. Throughout the whole process, Mercurio's was very proactive and responsive, honoring their commitment to make sure my family had heat when we needed it. That is why I chose them in the first place - my hope that they would be able to timely resolve the initial hiccups that can come from the installation of a complex system - and I was not dissapointed. Mercurio's provided excellent service from bid to installation to troubleshooting, offered reasonable, competitive prices, and a good selection of brands. I would not hesitate to recommend Mercurio's to anyone. "
The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.
Oil boilers provide reliable heating, efficiency, and long-term cost savings compared to electric options.
If you want to have hot water in your home and part of your plumbing system, you'll need a hot water heater. An alternative may be to heat water as you use it, such as by boiling what you need on the stove. But that's much less efficient and takes considerably longer than hooking up a water heater. Another option is to rely on appliances, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, that heat the water themselves.
Due to fuel line connections and venting complexity, professional installation is required for safety and efficiency.
Most home boilers will need an expansion tank. That’s because these boilers are closed-loop systems, where the water is trapped. An expansion tank is needed when the boiler heats the water and it expands, allowing air to condense in the tank to make room for the water. Other types of boilers don’t use an expansion tank, such as traditional steam boilers, but these aren’t as common. And hot water tanks may be able to use a pressure release valve instead. When in doubt, call in a pro to take a look.
