"Woke up on the coldest day of winter (so far) to find our furnace had stopped working overnight. called John at about 8:30 a.m., and he had a team of technicians at our home within about two hours. He even stopped out himself to check in, drop off some parts, and talk to me about my long-term needs for a new furnace and A/C unit. The team worked fast, and the charge for the work was even less than they estimated when they'd arrived. This is the second time we've called John's folks for heating or cooling service, and we'll absolutely use and recommend them again."

"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!!!"

"My friend recommended Sullivan, so I had them do a furnace inspection and repair an installation problem from a handyman. Went great. So when the furnace started shutting off, I called Sullivan again. The guy said it was a fuse. He replaced the fuse, charged me $95 and left. Half an hour later, it failed again. He came back again, replaced the fuse again and told me it definitely wasn't the furnace and that I needed an electrician. My general contractor for some other work sent another furnace company over and they fixed it in five minutes (it was the furnace) and told me why it could not possibly have been a fuse or an electrical problem. So I called Sullivan back because they guarantee satisfaction and asked for my money back since it was not what they said and because they left me sitting here in 10 degree weather with no heat. They said they'd call me back about the refund. They didn't."

"We found Giant Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling here on Angie's List.  Doug scheduled a convenient time with us to replace our water heater.  He gave us a price ahead of time for his services and did not upcharge for anything.  He arrived on time and was very professional and knowledgeable, as well as friendly.  He was very detailed in explaining everything and even gave advice on other plumbing topics where we had concerns.  The expense of our particular water heater was more than the average electric or gas water heater because we had the power vent model.  Our old water heater was a State brand and we were very satisfied as it lasted us for 12 years, and he replaced it with a new State model, so we were very satisfied with that as well.
We found out he also services furnaces and air conditioning so we will also request his services for them when we need them because we feel he is reliable, knowledgeable and professional.  We would recommend him to anyone looking for the services he provides.

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer 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 heating costs an average of $400 per month for a 1,200-square-foot house. Your monthly cost can vary depending on factors such as regional climate, energy usage, and the efficiency of your system. Improving insulation and using zone heating can help manage operational expenses. Local electricity rates have a significant impact on costs, with some areas experiencing rates that are up to 50% higher than the national average. Older units are less efficient, resulting in higher monthly heating costs.

Electric convection baseboard heaters are less energy-efficient because they lose heat rapidly after being in active operation. Their design causes rapid heat dissipation, which forces the heater to consume extra energy to maintain the desired temperature. This increased energy consumption is a direct result of the rapid loss of stored heat, reducing overall energy efficiency. Despite this drawback, these heaters are designed for longevity and can operate effectively for over 20 years, making them a durable and long-term option for providing warmth in your home.

Baseboard heaters offer precise room-by-room temperature control, and their installation costs $100 to $150 per room. In contrast, forced-air systems cost $5,000 for a moderately sized house but include features like dehumidifiers and central air conditioning. While baseboard heaters convert energy directly into heat, forced-air systems can increase your home's resale value and adaptability. When deciding between the two, consider both the installation costs and monthly energy expenses to determine which option best fits your long-term needs.

Electric baseboard heaters should be replaced when they no longer provide consistent and steady warmth and when repair costs continually outweigh the benefits of keeping the current unit. They need to be replaced as soon as persistent issues occur that indicate the unit's degradation. Clear signs for replacement include visible corrosion, slow heating response, and diminished heat output. Allowing these problems to persist not only increases energy consumption but also poses safety risks. Upgrading to a modern heating system ensures improved energy efficiency and reliability, providing a safer and more reliable heating solution for your home.
