"Total Ripoff! My boiler stopped working the other day and my usual company was unable to come out due to being short-staffed that day. I resorted to google and unfortunately came across Aire Serv. Their technician (who was very nice) came out to assess the situation and determined it was caused by a damaged pilot assembly. After calling around for replacement parts, I was told that the parts were out of stock until later in the week. Despite this, I was still charged $234 for the trip fee and diagnostic fee. I was then quoted $1112 for the repairs to be done once the parts were in. I shared this quote with my normal company and they were appalled! Thankfully they fixed the issue for less than half the price Aire Serv was going to charge me! PLEASE do not use this money-grubbing company, and instead use a local independent company if you need heating work done!"

"We recently switched our provider of propane to Palmer Gas & Oil and have been extremely happy with the process. Both Michelle and Kim were great on the phone, setting up our account, determining our needs, scheduling our installation and answering our questions. During our site survey it was clear that Michelle was quite experienced and made the next steps easy. The removal of our old tanks and installation of new ones went just as planned. Rick R and Nate arrived right on time and greeted us with a smile. After checking all of our gas operated appliances to be sure they worked properly, we sat down and talked with Rick about safety. While we’ve had propane for a number of years we weren’t aware of several things that he told us about. We just purchased a gas detector, something we hadn’t heard of before. It’s a great feeling to know that we made the right choice switching to Palmer and look forward to a long and pleasant relationship with the company."

Most ductwork lasts between 15 and 25 years. Sheet metal ducts can last even longer—up to 30 to 50 years. The lifespan of your ductwork depends on factors like the quality of the materials, how well it's maintained, and the environment it's in. As ducts get older, you might notice deterioration and decreased performance. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can help your ducts last longer and keep your HVAC system running efficiently.
If you're looking for options that don't require ductwork, consider ductless mini-split systems. These systems are becoming increasingly popular because they require minimal installation. With multiple indoor air handlers and at least one outdoor compressor unit, mini-splits use heat pump technology to heat or cool your home through refrigerant lines. While mini-splits cost more upfront than traditional systems, they offer superior efficiency, zoning flexibility, and other advantages that can save you money in the long run.
Undersized ductwork restricts airflow, leading to uneven temperature distribution, strain on HVAC equipment, and other problems. Oversized ductwork similarly hurts HVAC efficiency and causes poor temperature distribution or consistency. In either case, improper ductwork sizing results in increased maintenance needs, more frequent repairs, higher operating costs, and a reduced lifespan for HVAC equipment.
You can replace only a portion of your ductwork when certain sections show issues while other areas remain sound. Targeted replacement is a cost-effective solution that focuses on problematic duct sections only. By addressing only the damaged segments, homeowners lower material and labor costs while still enhancing airflow. Partial replacements maintain system balance, protect well-functioning ducts, and minimize disruption during renovations.
Duct cleaning is a viable option to maintain your duct system when significant damage, leaks, or mold are not present. Routine cleaning improves airflow and indoor air quality. Removing accumulated dust, allergens, and debris restores efficiency and reduces energy loss. Homeowners observe improved HVAC performance and healthier living spaces without the need for complete duct replacement if the ducts are structurally sound.
