"Would absolutely recommend John Mullen and his company. From the first time I called John he was very responsive and professional. I had called multiple other HVAC companies to install a vent through a brick chimney and were having trouble finding someone who would even come take a look to see if they could tackle the project. John didn't hesitate and came out and talked to us to find the right solution. Once we were ready for the job we were able to schedule him within about two weeks and he called the day of to see if they could come a bit earlier than planned. I truly appreciate the quick and professional communication throughout the whole process. The guys that came with him to do the work were also professional and they got the job done quickly. The price we paid was very reasonable for the length of time they spent and the difficult job of drilling out through brick."

"We were quoted $329.16 to have the water heater sensor installed, less a $100 coupon that we had purchased on Angies List for $39. We thought that seemed a bit high but, proceeded anyway thinking we were already out $39 and this was something that we really wanted to have done. We were then quoted $908 to have the outside faucet installed. Except for having to drill through a cinder block wall, the job did not seem that complicated. The water line was running along an inside wall, and we had already purchased the necessary faucet. When asked why it was so expensive, my wife was told "because it is plumbing". We declined having the faucet installed. Although the technician was very professional and courteous, we would hesitate to recommend this company, because of what we felt were excessive prices being quoted. We also would hesitate to pre-purchase any services through Angies List without knowing what the total cost would be before the technician arrives. We thought we were getting a bargain price to check out a company that we could possibly develop a long term relationship with. Instead we felt we were overcharged and somewhat taken advantage of since we had already paid for part of the job through Angies List."

"Having negative thoughts now. Thought I'd pay $75 X 2 or $150.00 to install two fans. I had to buy the fans. $100 X 2 or $200.00. Now up to $350.00. I'm happy with that. However, it was recommended that I needed stronger ceiling electrical boxes in ceiling. Mine were plastic and were only supported on one side of ceiling joists. Sounded OK. Work now involved going into attic, taking out old electrical boxes, and replacing with metal boxes that were supported between two joists instead of one. That work, based on standard prices I was told, was $675.82. My hoped for $350.00 fan installs now became $1,025.82 for me. I OK'd the work so my bad, but the $675.82 extra cost seems exorbitant . Of course, I don't deal with that line of work, so maybe it's proper. I just have a bad taste about the whole thing. Buyer's Resmorse perhaps. Oh, both fans work pretty good, although one is not quite flush with the ceiling. I cannot get photo's from phone to this review."

"Took about 2 hours. Worked properly after replacement. Involved several connections (gas and electrical). A special replacement device was needed due to the age (27 years) of the furnace. A video camera was used to show signs of corrosion developing on the heat exchanger. It was not judged to be an immediate issue. An estimate was provided for a future replacement of the furnace and A/C.

"Had wade install a Mitsubishi Mini Split with 4 ceiling units on the 2nd floor to assist with heating and cooling issues. The whole process was easy from beginning to end with very clear and quick communication. Also had them repair an existing system at the same time that was quick, hassle free and got me fixed up properly. I want to especially thank Lonnie, Mr Wade and the Installers for their expertise and professionalism along the way. I am extremely satisfied with the Mitsubishi units that were installed and would highly recommend their services!!!"

"After some research we asked Climatech to give us an estimate for a replacement for both the air conditioner and the furnace. The old furnace was an American Standard and we asked for an American Standard, in place, replacement, assuming a same brand replacement would be easiest. Mike Horner, Climatech's Residential Comfort Specialist, arrived on time for a scheduled appointment to give us an estimate . He had been an installer previously so was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of most systems. We discussed several options. I wanted a simple system, easy to maintain (and repair should that be needed), without a lot of bells and whistles. He was great in working with me to find that kind of solution. One point he made was that he was always available for answering questions even out of normal working hours, and he was. He provided an initial estimate and then after emails and phone calls quickly provided several more estimates as I firmed up what I wanted. The interaction with Mike was great. I checked his proposals against the cost of the components I found on line and the work required, and his proposals were reasonable and the company was big enough to back up their work. We settled on an American Standard AUH18080 95% efficient, 80,000 btu single stage gas furnace, an American Standard Silver 13 SEER 3 ton outdoor condensing unit, a matching high efficiency evaporator coil and a Honeywell Wifi thermostat. The cost was $6350. with 1/2 paid up front and 1/2 paid after installation. Setting up the installation was easy. Jennifer coordinates all the residential work and she made sure the installation worked into our schedule. Since they are a large company they can be quite flexible. The replacement took 2 days, a Friday and a Monday. A crew of 2, Ron and Jesse, arrived at the appointed time (they worked 8am to 2pm), They took away the existing units, and installed the new units. They made changes necessary to fit the new units into the existing ductwork, and to drain the condensation from the new units properly. They drilled holes through the brick walls required by the new efficient units. To install the air conditioner they needed to go into our neighbors' yard and they were respectful of both their yard and ours. At several points during the installation I had questions and suggestions and they were very open to discussion. After the first day they cleaned up and did not leave material lying around over the weekend. They did listen to the radio while working but unlike most workmen who have the radio blaring and disturbing the whole community, they played it very low so it was only audible in the basement area. I was impressed with how well they installed things like the the drain tube which was run across the basement ceiling with fasteners at close intervals and a hard plastic tube into our wash sink, and the way they plastered around the exhaust and intake vent going through our brick wall. Instead of round corners, as others might have done, they made it have square corners so it almost looked like a brick with a hole in it. They did a very professional job. It's interesting how many skills the installers must have. They know about the furnace and the air conditioners of course, but they must also run wire and install electrical boxes, run drain lines and consider plumbing options, must drill through walls and repair walls, and must flatten landscape and prune bushes to place outside air conditioning. After the installation they went over the system with me including the new electrical connections, thermostat operation, furnace operation, etc. I would recommend this company and their team to others."

FAQs for electrical baseboard or wall heater service projects in Pittsburgh, PA

Electric baseboard heaters are safe when properly installed and maintained. They often include safety features like automatic shut-off systems to prevent overheating and fire hazards. Just make sure to keep the area around the heater clear and teach children and pets to stay away from it to ensure everyone's safety.

Electric baseboard heating can be more expensive than other systems because it converts all the electricity it uses into heat. For example, a 2,000-watt heater can warm 200 square feet quickly, but heating a 2,200-square-foot home could cost around $2,485 per year at 15 cents per kWh. You can reduce these costs by improving your home's insulation and managing how you use the heaters.

Newer electric baseboard heaters are more energy-efficient than older models. They use advanced designs to deliver heat more effectively and minimize energy waste. However, they still tend to have higher operating costs than other heating options like central heat pumps. Upgrading your insulation and installing a programmable thermostat can help keep your energy costs down.

Electric baseboard heaters last between 15 and 20 years with proper care and maintenance. The top factors that impact their lifespan include how often you use them, the quality of materials, and the level of upkeep. Keep in mind they may become less efficient over time, losing up to 7% efficiency as they age.

Electric baseboard heaters need at least 12 inches of clearance in front of them to operate safely. It’s also recommended to leave at least six inches of clearance above and three inches on the side. You should keep furniture and other objects at least one foot away to prevent fire hazards and ensure proper airflow.
