"I called on a Friday and it was done by Wednesday. The price was significantly below others. And I know they are great: they replaced my furnace (boiler) 10 years ago. Super nice people - I highly recommend!"

"The technicians that came out were very professional and knowledgeable. They installed a complete heat pump system and did not leave until I was completely satisfied. The original thermostat that came with the system did not work, so installed a temporary thermostat and order a new one. It was installed the next day. All techs that came to my home were very professional and knowledgeable, the service was great"

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

"I had a leak somewhere in my heat pump system from 2013 in a 4 floor condo building. Every other company was quoting me $7k+ to replace the system but it turns out to be a leak in the line set between the 3rd floor and the roof! We had a new line set installed and I spent $2550 in total! The crew was very professional and worked extremely had in the hottest weather to get the job done, too!"

"JDL helped in install a brand-new Carrier brand condenser unit and furnace, along with a Rheem hot water heater to replace an almost 30-year-old system at our house. The team at JDL was very professional and accommodating as we went through the proposal and estimate process. A big thank you to Amber for helping us through all that. The installation was great and seamless. Armando, thank you for you and your team’s hard work in taking out the old system and setting us up. The system has been doing great through this recent cold spell, keeping the house warm and comfortable. I would highly recommend JDL for any HVAC needs"

"Sila was one of three companies I contacted for estimates on replacing my oil-fired systems with heat pumps. I have a boiler and two forced air furnaces, so the work would be extensive. I contacted Sila because their reviews were favorable, they sell Carrier products (which I was leaning toward), and they sell high velocity systems, which I felt might be a good option in the older part of the house where I don't have ducts. I was prepared to really go over the things that work well with ducts in the house, things that don't, and what my general asks were for the systems. The salesman was pleasant enough, but seemed completely uninterested in how I felt my current systems were and what my goals were. I asked for a price on two levels of Carrier (Performance and Inifinity) for the existing forced air systems, and then price me out for a reasonable high velocity system. The sales person who came out was pretty perfunctory and didn't take good notes while we spoke. I didn't think he was really that engaged in my concerns about the routing of high velocity ducting and placement--he just told me how it would have to be. While sometimes that's how things work, I don't think he really addressed my concerns with having all outlets in the ceiling only in the lower level, which would potentially leave me with lots of heat hanging around the ceiling. However, the larger issues were that the bids did not match the requirements for the project. First, he sent only the high velocity bid and nothing for the other systems. When i asked, he sent the other estimate, but only for the Carrier Infinity, omitting that I specifically asked for a bid on doing those systems with a Performance line that would allow me to use my existing non-communicating thermostats. In addition, their bid was the most expensive and their attention to detail seemed poor for a $40,000+ job. Spending less than an hour with me and sending lackluster boilerplate bids (with all kinds of language that should not have been in the bid, like references to other brands, etc.). A bid should be custom for the buyer and tailored for match what I'm asking for. This lack of attention to detail and customer focus lost Sila this job."

"Borris (the owner and one who took my call) was very nice and helpful over the phone in explaining the different party bus rentals. I rented a large capacity party bus for by 24th birthday to go to DC and back. The driver was super nice and even helped us carry drinks from our house and loaded them up in the bus. When we returned back to our destination we were all having such a good time, we asked him to drive around the block a few times and he happily obliged. The inside of the bus was very clean, the lighting was awesome and set a party/club atmosphere and the music system was very good. We had a great time and I will be requesting pricing from them when me and my fiance get married next year. Thanks Borris!

"Excellent company! My water heater stopped working on New Years Eve. Unfortunately, the water heater is behind my HVAC, so they had to remove the HVAC, remove the old water heater, install the new heater, and replace the HVAC. They did a perfect job. They also replaced the freon in my HVAC, because the prior repairmen didn’t add freon. In addition, they fixed the jets in my spa. The team arrived on time, displayed professionalism, and cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for boiler or radiator heating system service projects in Washington, DC

The way an outdoor wood furnace works is that it burns wood inside a firebox to generate heat. This heat is transferred to the air around it, which is then distributed throughout your home using a dedicated system. If the furnace is properly sized, you can also integrate it with your hot water supply for efficient heating.

Standard outdoor wood furnaces are 75% efficient on average, meaning that they convert 75% of the wood's energy into heat and waste the rest as smoke. Gasification wood furnaces are over 90% efficient because they burn the wood and the smoke particles, using less wood to produce the same amount of heat as standard models.

With proper care, an outdoor wood furnace can last between 15 and 20 years. Regular weekly cleaning, annual professional inspections, and prompt repairs can extend its lifespan up to 30 years. Proactively addressing issues early can prevent costly repairs and premature replacement. Consistent maintenance ensures efficient heating and protects your investment over the long term.

You should install your outdoor wood furnace between 30 and 500 feet from your house to meet safety and regulatory standards. This distance minimizes fire risks and ensures you comply with local building codes and insurance requirements. The ideal placement of an outdoor wood furnace or boiler balances convenience with safety, allowing for efficient heat transfer while reducing smoke exposure. Also consider wind patterns, property boundaries, and accessibility for wood delivery when choosing the optimal location for your installation.
