"They dont have a boiler selection selection so. Do not call them. The techs know little to none about steam boilers. They will act like they know what they are doing and instead of fixing the problems they will cause more. They flooded our house for 4 hours after the techs thought I had a water boiler system and filled all our radiators with water. They then said theyd fix what they did wrong and go over our system to make sure we had no leaks. This I was told by Jen the service manager. After 4 techs and countless hours of headaches and tons of damages from the constant running water for 4 hour they decided they were not going to fix the screw ups or diagnose what is wrong. However they offered to give us a refund of our money and they handed us the replacement part they broke free of charge. So now not only do I have to fix the system they broke more but I have also taken days off work to meet with them numerous times for nothing but to have the tech hand me the part. "

The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits. It's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. All our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally. Red Carpet Treatment During every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.
"Tim Calfo is a liar, a crook and does not deserve the privilege to own a business that serves the community. Do your homework before you hire this company. LONG story short, I purchased a new boiler system. I was promised the new system would work in the same manner as the old one, meaning my home was zoned for different areas with different thermostats (through circulator pumps). The technicians that completed the installation never took the time to learn how my home was setup and did not complete the zoning for the new system at the time of install. Instead of admitting their mistake, I was lied to multiple times and told my previous system was never zoned. (Which is a lie and verified by a 3rd party who has worked in this home prior to me buying it). Now, they want to charge more money to fix it because and zoning was not part of the original contract . This bait and switch type tactic seems to be a common theme for Calfo based on other reviews, they do this pretty often."

You should schedule professional maintenance for your mini-split AC once a year, ideally before the cooling season starts. This keeps your system running efficiently and helps prevent costly repairs. Don't forget to replace or clean the filters every three months—more often if you have pets or a lot of dust. Regular upkeep extends the life of your system and ensures optimal performance.
Mini-split ACs are versatile and work well in most homes. They're efficient in small and medium-sized homes and can even outperform central AC systems in larger or multi-level homes. Many homeowners install mini-splits to supplement their existing central AC, especially in additions or remodeled areas where extending ductwork isn't practical.
Mini-split ACs are quiet, producing noise levels between 20 and 35 decibels—about the same as a soft whisper. This means you'll enjoy a quiet and comfortable home environment. Central AC systems can be louder, operating between 50 and 60 decibels. The minimal sound from mini-split units helps enhance relaxation in your home.
Choosing the right mini-split system size is key for effective cooling and heating. Assess your home's square footage, number of floors, window placement, and ceiling height to calculate the required BTUs. HVAC professionals use these factors along with the guideline of 12,000 BTUs per 500 to 600 square feet to determine the optimal size. Proper sizing maximizes efficiency and prevents energy waste.
The SEER rating shows how energy-efficient a mini-split AC system is. A higher SEER rating means better energy performance, significantly lowering your energy bills and increasing long-term savings. When choosing a model, look for higher SEER ratings to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Greater energy efficiency can also extend the system's lifespan by reducing strain on its components.
