I have a 50 year old house, and all the plumbing (except the boiler and the water line to the fridge) is original. At that age, valves and iron pipes are starting to fail and need replacement. This leak arose when I was about to go out of town. Paul and Kevin were able to come over the same day to diagnose the problem and present me with a plan and quote, and back first thing the next morning to complete the repairs. It turned out that the supply line needed to be replaced (no surprise), and so did the faucet and drain. Paul and Kevin did that, and also added shutoff valves. I am so happy to have the shutoff valves---their absence is what turned this into an emergency instead of just an inconvenience, since I could not just shut off the water and deal with the leaky water line when I got back. They ran into a wrinkle when they took the old faucet off and discovered that the china sink (in beautiful condition) had an unusual configuration of holes for the water lines---the new faucet would not fit. Paul got creative and---very carefully!---used a diamond bit saw to widen the hole in the sink, so the new faucet could be installed without having to replace the sink. He saved the sink, and saved me a bunch of money on replacing it! I am thrilled with Paul and Kevin's work. Paul was very quickly responsive to my communications, went out of his way to accommodate my travel deadline, and was very transparent about what he was doing, why, and what each step would cost. I plan to bring them back in the spring for some other work.

"In todays fast paced world, it is hard to find people we can trust and to wonder when we purchase something ,whether or not we are going to get a quality product for what we are paying for. I had been looking around to purchase some new windows for several years, but when I always heard quotes on the cost I was unwilling to take the leap. One day, upon hearing a quote of what the windows I wanted replaced would cost me from their sales rep., I took that leap. It was a no brainer. With such a great price, now I wondered if i was going to get quality for what I was paying. I have to tell you I was delighted to see the final results of my beautiful new windows. Not only were all the people I spoke with in this company kind and respectful, but they also helped me set up financing as well. Great Company, Really Good People, Quality Product and Service!"

Boiler Repair questions, answered by experts
If you're often struggling with radiator issues like chilly spots, leaks, or annoying noises, those are common indications that your radiator may need to be replaced. Corrosion, uneven heating, and persistent hissing sounds are common issues as well. When repairs become a regular chore and your home’s energy bills start to rise, a new radiator will bring the comfort and savings you need.
The best time to buy home heating oil is in the summer when the demand is lowest, as the prices are usually lower. However, waiting until the summer to buy is often unavoidable unless you install a separate storage tank. If you have the space for a second tank, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 for the oil tank replacement or installation, depending on the capacity and location. You could quickly recuperate these costs, though, by stocking up on heating oil in the summer and avoiding deliveries in the winter when prices are highest.
Not every type of baseboard heater needs to be bled. Hydronic baseboard heaters need to have air removed at least occasionally, but electric or gas versions that don’t use water at all don’t need to be bled. There are no pipes or valves on these models to worry about, nor any central boiler. Instead, they use heating elements or other methods to supply direct heat to a room.
Yes, cleaning a boiler is essential for its efficient and safe operation. Over time, boilers can accumulate dirt, rust, sediment, and mineral deposits, reducing efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and causing potential breakdowns. Cleaning involves removing these deposits from various components like heat exchangers, burners, and pipes. Neglecting cleaning can also lead to corrosion and decreased life span. Regular, yearly maintenance, including cleaning, ensures optimal performance, lower energy bills, and a safer heating system. It's best to consult the boiler's manual or hire a professional technician for cleaning to ensure the job is done right.
The radiators closest in proximity to the boiler heating system will heat up first. Radiators in rooms farther away from the boiler will take longer to heat up and may be the coolest rooms in the house. The radiator unit itself should heat up evenly; otherwise, there may be trapped air inside it.
