Hot water boiler installation. Where to start?

<< < (7/9) > >>

I've been doing a bit of research on this since I am considering this myself... basically it boils down to (pun intended!) doing your homework on each company and reading the fine print...some people clam that these services are a nightmare while others report them as being total life savers and have had heat pumps ect... replaced at no charge. Here is a good article I found on the subject. It sounds like a hit or miss affair to me.. sounds like it could cause a lot of headaches... but with AC units being around $8,000.00 to fix..... I dunno!

Those people get kickbacks, whether literal or figurative, from referrals.  Try asking neighbors and people who know who don't stand to gain anything from who you choose.

Yep, that's one of the things that someone had commented on in that article... like I said it sounds pretty hit or miss to me... but the cost of replacing your central air... I would consider it a $400.00 gamble. I have to have someone come out seems like every summer and winter and I always seem to get hit with a $400.00 bill.... wouldn't take me long to find out if its any good. The last guy who came out told me my condenser coil might have to be replaced, and if it did I might as well replace the entire unit, as the coils have gotten ridiculously expensive. It kinda scares me.

Dawayne left out one important step in his soldering guide though - use the wire brush to clean both pieces being soldered. There is a special wire tool for standard 1/2" pipe that usually comes with the soldering kit you will buy anyways.
