Heating Before & After Photos

A Halco service technician was at this Seneca Falls, NY home to perform annual maintenance on the customer's AC unit. While there, he noticed the landscaping has grown over the furnace and tankless water heater intake and exhaust. He removed the old growth to ensure safe and proper venting of dangerous gases. 

This Auburn, NY customer contacted Halco for a no-cost home energy assessment to learn where her home was wasting energy and what improvements could be made. While we were there for the assessment, we talked about her old, inefficient boiler and water heater and discussed upgrades that would provide the largest energy efficiency gains. Not only did this customer move forward with solar, but we also installed a Navien Combi Boiler to support her heating and DHW needs for the entire home. In addition to saving money on her gas usage, she was also able to free up a lot of floor space in her basement! 

This Auburn, NY customer just moved into his house and was running through propane. His floors were always hot, and his high efficient boiler never turned off. Our service technician found a crossed wire on the zone control board that ran out to the customer’s pull barn where his open system coal fired boiler sits. This was turned off, but the crossed wires made a call for heat. Our tech removed the system from the main boiler system, cooling down the room directly above it 8°F while he worked. He also identified a failed expansion tank, a failed air vent, and a missing a back-flow preventer and an automatic water feed/ pressure reducing valve. He replaced the failed parts and installed the two missing parts making the boiler system code compliant. The customer was so happy with the service he decided to become a Halco Maintenance Agreement customer!

This 1930's, cast-iron steam boiler had been running so inefficiently that these Genoa, NY homeowners were forced to use 4 additional space heaters just to maintain an adequate level of comfort throughout their 1900 sq. ft. house during the winter. We took out the boiler and the existing fuel oil tank and replaced it with this new Williamson high-efficiency, LP gas-fired steam boiler.  By combining this with several insulation and air-sealing measures that we performed throughout the home, they no longer have to worry about relying on multiple space heaters to be comfortable in the winter time.  But more importantly, they are expected to see a savings of around 30% on their energy bills!
