"Young man who came to do the job told us that they sent him to 3 wrong houses before they found ours. He proceeded to unclog the drain in the basement using the mechanical drain. Took him maybe an hour to clear it and also ran our sinks and toilets to make sure we wouldn?t have another problem. The young man left our house, however proceeded to sit in his running van, parked in my parking spot. I had no issues with this service until I saw the bill. $1000 to snake a drain for an hour? When we inquired about the bill they told us that their rate is 300$ an hour and that the job took 3 hours. In my opinion, if it takes you 3 hours to snake a drain, then someone should be fired or retrained at their job. My assumption is that their scheme involved sending this young man to multiple wrong houses and him sitting in my driveway for a prolong period of time, so that they could charge us for 3 hours of ?work.?

"Joe, the AirCo sales representative, was very professional. He actually asked for my feedback on priorities for a new boiler. This was important to me because the boiler sits below our family room, and the noise level of the boiler was as issue. His proposals listed several boiler options, based on heating efficiency, which were competitively priced. The installation was run by Steve, who was able to fit in the installation the next week. Steve, and his crews, were punctual and courteous, and the installation went smoothly. It's only been a week, but I am very pleased with my Bosch boiler, the quality of the work, the price paid, and the timeliness of the installation."

Unless you have advanced HVAC, plumbing, and electrical skills, hiring a pro is worth the investment. Improper installation can strain or even damage the furnace, leading to repairs that dwarf the cost of professional labor. Certified installers deliver a precise, code-compliant setup and help the system run efficiently for years.
Your whole-house humidifier choice comes down to budget and upkeep. Drum models cost less but demand frequent pad changes and vigilant cleaning to avoid mold. Flow-through units carry a higher price tag yet need less maintenance because water drains away rather than sitting in a reservoir. Decide how much ongoing work you’re comfortable handling before you buy.
Whole-house humidifier repairs average $230 but can reach $500, based on unit type, repair complexity, and local labor rates. Systems tied into extensive ductwork or large homes tend to cost more to fix. Routine maintenance, like the occasional pad change, cleaning, and inspection, helps you avoid those higher repair bills and keeps the humidifier working longer.
If indoor humidity regularly falls below 30%, a whole-house humidifier is a smart upgrade. Dry air aggravates allergies, chapped skin, and static, while ENERGY STAR recommends 30% to 50% year-round (30% to 40% in cold climates to curb condensation). If levels climb above that range, consider a whole-house dehumidifier instead.
A well-maintained whole-house humidifier lasts for 10 to 15 years. If yours is pushing a decade and performance drops or energy use climbs, start planning for a replacement. Upgrading boosts efficiency and indoor comfort, and an HVAC pro can confirm whether repairs or a new unit make better financial sense.
A whole-house humidifier is installed directly into your HVAC system and positioned near the furnace or air handler to maximize performance. It connects securely to both the ductwork and plumbing systems, ensuring complete integration. Hiring a professional guarantees a safe, efficient, and permanent installation that protects your system from future operational issues.
