Description of Work: My ancient boiler had the audacity to give up the ghost two days before Christmas 2013 in very cold weather. I called Reed Wright Heating & Electric Co in a slight panic, and spoke with Tim Smith, company President. He immediately took action at my request, including acquiring authorization by the city to proceed with expedited removal of the old boiler, order of the new boiler, asbestos-insulation abatement in the basement boiler area, and coordination of final installation inspection and backflow testing. | |During the installation by excellent Reed Wright staff (Trevor and Aaron),they lent me at no charge a powerful commercial heater to warm the house. Tim deducted $350 from my final invoice because I already had an aluminum chimney flue liner installed. I recommend Reed Wright highly. I was delighted to have my new boiler on line by New Year's Day.

Description of Work: Annual checkup Serviced Boiler, tuned up, cleaned and adjusted. They installed my boiler many years ago and have continued thru the years when I |request service. I will be replacing my old boiler soon and will definitely use Reed Wright.

I will be having this work done in the near future. | |The boiler I have now was installed in about 1960 and the new model | suggested to me looks great.

The install went very well. I am happy. I now have heat in all rooms which I hadn't had for 20 yrs. The old registers were opened and are working. I would use Reed Wright again. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I had an ancient oil furnace removed and a new electric furnace installed. The oil furnace had not been used since 1970. Bryan gave me an estimate which was comparable to other estimates. Things had to be done before the install and Bryan had listed all the people and numbers to get the job started. It all went very well. Once ready, the install was very fast. All the Reed Wright people were really nice. Respectful of the house and pets.

He knew right what to do. I've had trouble finding a heating company that deals with this kind of old, gas burner with radiators. He was very knowledgable and pumped a few more years of life into the system, and gently told me that it should be replaced. Office staff was good, they showed up on time and as planned.
Description of Work: Technician came out to a rental property with an old gas boiler. He went into the attic to look at the expansion tank, refilled the system with water, rebuilt the pilot light, got it up and running and then bled all the radiators upstairs.

No problems. The furnace was malfunctioning. He knew his business, diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately and fixed it. In addition, they made time to fit our job into their already full schedule and responded the day I called them to do the repair.
Description of Work: He replaced the circulation pump in the radiant heating system.

The guys are great to work with and really understand old home heating. My 100 year old home still had the original boiler which worked fine but was energy inefficient. At the time I wanted to replace water heater with solar hot water so it made sense to replace the boiler as a new model could create indirect hot water when sun could not supply all water. I spoke to two contractors one from Angies List and Reed Wright would my home inspector recommended. Both listened to my requirements which included in addition to boiler hot water, replacement of my living room radiator with a space saving baseboard, and a way of adjusting the upstairs heat. Both recommended the same approach so I didn't feel the need to get a third opinion. Reed Wright's pricing was more competetive and they are also in my neighborhood so I chose Reed Wright. A new boiler is a lot of work especially the removal of the old stuff. Everyone at Reed Wright is knowledgeable and professional. After two winters, I am thrilled with my new boiler and the rest of the new items.
Description of Work: Complete installation of a triangle tube (high efficiency) boiler, direct vent, indirect water heater, replace old pipes with new copper, removed old spillover tank, three radiator heat thermostat controllers and replacement of old radiator with burnham base ray. Removal of the old boiler was done by others due to asbestos regulations. I purchased the water "heater" from the solar company but Reed Wright installed it.

We called early Monday morning and the fellow arrived in less than two hours. We had been without our main heat overnight. He quickly checked everything and identified two problems. He replaced a leaking safety relief valve, flushed the system, checking the controls. He cleaned the inducer fan. Then he checked the radiators in the house for air/circulation. He had to replace the burners. We had had this done less than 3 years ago. It turns out that leaves were getting sucked into the burners from under the door to the pumphouse. We are fixing that to prevent a re-occurance. They signed us up for routine checkup. Spending money was tough, but he really did a meticulous job of diagnosing the problem, finding the causes and suggesting how to prevent a future occurance. The communication was as good as the repair itself. We'd highly recommend Reed Wright.
Description of Work: Repaired our hot water heat boiler that was not staying on.

After meeting with 2 other Contractors to get estimates repair a zone valve on my gas fired hot water radiant heat system, I called Reed Wright, who knows what they are doing, to "get the job done". My furnace works hard with over 3000 square feet to heat and 4 different zones that go to different apartments. One of 4 zone valves usually goes out each year and it's a simple repair, whereby you don't have to drain the system. Since I always like to have a backup to Reed, I called 2 other companies, who had a bit of trouble identifying the problem and once identified, thought that they had to drain the system to do the repairs. Unfortunately, many heating contractors have never worked on the really old radiator systems. Reed Wright was the only one that knew that thermostats can be place on each radiator to conserve energy. The contractor was prompt, friendly, a good listener and comfortable to be around, which is very important, since we have women tenants.
Description of Work: Repaired a zone value on a radiant heat system and did an estimate to install thermostats on each (very old!) radiator.

The technician was professional and answered all my questions patiently. The dispatcher was also friendly and courteous.
Description of Work: The pilot light was out on my old turn of the last century boiler. The thermocouple was replaced and the pilot mechanism was cleaned. He also checked the operation for carbon monoxide. A technician was sent within a couple of hours as I had no heat. I would use this company again.

This is the same company and person who had done a great job several years ago [after 2 others failed to fix a problem]. He was very thorough and checked out everything, not just the obvious problem. He told us that reducing dampness in pump house will help reduce corrosion of burners and having an annual checkup would be wise. We had to wait a week or so to get the bill, which was a little painful, but I think fair for the service. I was surprised when calling to pay the bill that they don't accept credit cards. It would have been good to know that upfront. Other than that, we'll definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Checked & flushed boiler & pump. Replaced corroded burners [we were having problems with heat going on and off]. Added air to expansion tank & replaced fill valve strainer. Returned with new burners installing and new igniter. Vacuumed out combustion chamber. Fired up and tested. Found low water detector defective & did temporary bypass returning later to replace. Flushed relief valve, found it leaking and replaced on third visit, installing new low water cutoff. Tested all operations. He actually installed & programmed a new thermostat I had purchase and didn't charge for it.

Many companies didn't even want to touch an older conversion burner. Reed Wright sent out a service person who understood the system and fixed it.
Description of Work: The serviceman come out twice to work on a gas conversion burner. The second trip was for a second, unrelated problem. The cost was for two calls plus parts.
