Our work
What happens when quality equipment meets a job done right.
Lower bills, more comfort, and 120 extra square feet
The problem
The owners of a 1920s home came to us wanting to cut their high heating costs and make the house more comfortable. Heat came from a mix of baseboard and cast-iron radiators, driven by a boiler from the 1950s.
What we did
- Replaced the old boiler with a high-efficiency Weil-McLain Ultra 150 and a companion Ultra 40 water heater.
- Moved the boiler to a far corner of the basement, opening up 120 square feet of usable space — now the owners' exercise room.
- Reconfigured the pipe runs for extra headroom.
- Added two pumps on the system loop to keep water flow consistent, which evens out heat and keeps temperatures steady throughout the house.
The result
The owner tracked his gas usage and heating degree days before and after the upgrade. Even though the following winter was colder, total gas usage dropped 38% — about $720 saved in the first five months.
“I am writing to tell you how pleased we are with the new heating system you installed for us last November. The results of the Weil-McLain Ultra boiler and system have exceeded my expectations.”
“The real surprise has been the increase in comfort. The living room, with its 19 original windows, has gone from uninhabitable to warm and comfortable, regardless of the weather outside. Hot and cold spots throughout the house have disappeared. The system is also quiet — unlike the old system, we cannot hear whether it is running or not.”
“Your professionalism, experience, and genuine desire to help us with our issues, rather than just sell us a new system, sold us on you and your company. Thanks again for doing exactly what you said you were going to do, on time and on budget.”
The "Mission House"
Our radiant installation at the Mission House was recognized by the Radiant Panel Association for outstanding achievement in the field of radiant panel heating and cooling.
Radiant systems warm floors and walls directly — quiet, even heat with no drafts and no blowing dust. Pictured: the boiler controls, pumps, and manifolds behind the "radiant wall."
