"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."

It can take anywhere from four hours to three days to replace a boiler with a new one. How long your particular boiler installation takes will depend on whether you need a gas line installed and if you’re switching to a new boiler system.
Replacing a combination boiler or standard boiler with the same system should only take four to six hours. Meanwhile, switching from a conventional boiler system to a combination boiler system could take a few days.
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.
In some cases, conversion kits are available, but not all boilers are compatible. Conversion may require significant modifications and should only be performed by a qualified professional. Before making a decision, compare conversion costs to the cost of a complete replacement to determine the most cost-effective and reliable option for your home.
A home radiator works by using radiation and convection to transfer heat throughout your home. Electric radiators use metal to conduct heat and warm the air, which then rises to warm the room. Steam and hot water radiators work with a boiler and piping system to pump thermal energy throughout the home. Hot water radiators use a boiler to heat the water before circulating it to the radiator, while steam heating radiator systems convert the heated water to steam before circulating it out. When the water or steam cools, it travels back to the boiler to be heated again.
Many utility companies and government programs offer rebates or incentives for the installation of high-efficiency propane boilers. These can offset upfront costs and improve your return on investment. Check with your local utility or installer for current offers. Incentives vary by state and provider, so exploring regional programs can help maximize your savings.
