Description of Work: Greg (our usual serviceman from Delbar) checked our furnace blower, which was making an unusual noise. He said the fan had to be replaced (it was 13 years old), so he ordered the parts and returned two days later to install the fan. Delbar installed our system in 2002, so we always have them service it. We have always been impressed with their quality and service, and Greg is fantastic. I highly recommend them.

+ -1 moreI called for an appointment for routine furnace and central AC maintenance. We were able to arrange an appointment for the next day. He arrived on time and performed the service. He found a problem with the AC that I didn't know about and was able to replace the broken part as part of the service call. This saved a lot of money since I didn't have to have him out for a second service call and was good because it got really hot a few days after that and I really needed the AC.

+ -1 moreIt was a pleasure to deal with Delbar. Paul did the estimate, which was such a nice change from the "professional" estimators from other companies who could talk furnaces and air conditioners but would never be seen again if there was a problem during installation. He took notes and measurements, we discussed the needs of the job, and he left. He came by a couple of days later with a fully detailed written estimate, including options on several items, and a time frame in which we could do the job. Once I decided to go with Delbar, the job was scheduled promptly. The equipment was delivered early in the morning that the job was to begin, and the guys were here when they said they'd be here. They were polite, pleasant and kept me informed of what was going on during the installation. They cleaned up at the end of the day, and took all the trash with them. While theirs wasn't the lowest price anyone gave me, it wasn't the highest price either, and I felt confident that there wouldn't be any "surprise" issues that would come along to jack up the price. With Delbar, what you see is what you get, and I have already recommended them to several friends.
Description of Work: They replaced my entire HVAC system, including a new drain line and pump to deal with a condensation problem, and also installed a new water heater

+ -1 more.They are simply great! My contact, Paul Della Monica (co-owner of the local business) seems to know everything pertinent, and his judgment seems excellent as well about my needs. He pointed out all the flaws in my not-so-old boiler and the related copper tubing and many cellar gas lines in this ancient little house, and fixed whatever was needed to make this new tiny boiler run cheaply and well. He has always been on time and works hard to get things done, keeping the place clean, and having a generally positive attitude and a good sense of humor, very helpful when one is facing all the tasks of construction and remodeling a new home! When I was seeking estimates for the AC, he had the only option to really cool both my upstairs and the loft (which are conjoined) at the same time with a special unit, and he is working also with my general contractor to make sure things go smoothly once we begin the addition. He takes the time to explain what's happening and why, great for me without expertise in this area. The only thing missing are little paper booties as he traipses in and out!
Description of Work: DelBar so far has installed a high-efficiency boiler combo (includes instant hot water heat) by Bosch, with two programmable thermostats. They are also contracted to install a 3-unit mini-split AC system when I add my planned addition onto my newly purchased 1740s home, which is not easy to work on, apparently. They will also install radiant heat under the new flooring.

+ -1 moreThe job took two and a half days. The first day Paul and Greg had the assistance of a co-worker. Thereafter, they performed all the work themselves. I liked that ... as I could see the same sort of expertise going into the actual installation work. The knowledgeable sales consultant was also the knowledgeable technician. A definitely "what you see is what you get" situation. Paul and Greg were always friendly and considerate. But, they were always businesslike as well. They removed all the old boiler and water heater works, installed and customized all the new plumbing and venting ... and, in the end, took the time to fully explain the system to me, right down to programming my new thermostat for me. Now, obviously, the proof will be in the pudding as to whether this spiffy new Weil McLain boiler / water heater system lives up to it promise. And, whether it will provide more efficient heat at a more reasonable cost. Winter is coming and I will soon know. All I can report at this stage is that I am extremely happy with the work performed by Paul and Greg of Delbar Heating/AC. I would recommend them highly. I am glad to have them as a resource.
Description of Work: My 1976 vintage Weil McLain gas fired boiler/heater was getting a bit decrepit ... and, though fully functioning, it was not by any means delivering high efficiency heating. So, I had decided this would be the year to replace it with a new, higher efficiency heater. I interviewed four Heating/AC contractors (three chosen from Angie's List and one, recommended to me by a friend). Of the four two contractors failed outright to impress me during their visits to assess the situation. It's as though they were sleepwalking. The other two contractors were the exact opposite. They listened to me and tried to resourcefully suggest options for my heating needs. They both inspected the entire house (even to making measurements) so as to accurately assess the situation. They also took the time to explain all the features and drawbacks of the new "high efficiency" heaters. I can't stress enough how important this sort of informed salesmanship is. Any contractor that fails at this stage loses a potential customer. There is a difference between overly slick sales spiels and truly knowledgeable salesmanship. Contractors must believe in the products they are installing. Just as they must believe in the quality of their own work. In the end, I chose Delbar Heating/AC to provide me with my new boiler/heater. Delbar is basically a company of two very competent partners - Paul Della Monica and Greg Dunbar. Both men have years of experience in the heating and AC trade. In fact, I was so sufficiently impressed with their presentation/suggestions that I decided to have them also install a new Weil McLain 40 gal. indirect tank water heater.

+ -1 moreAn outside compressor for an 11-year-old central air-conditioning system stopped working, tripping the circuit breaker. Greg, a partner in Delmar, responded to my morning call and and arranged to come out by mid-afternoon. He arrived promptly, diagnosed a short and electric sump heater that need to be replaced. He did the replacement and added Freon, which was low,. He cleaned the outside coil,and checked the AC operation. At my request, he also checked the upstairs unit and flushed its condensate drain trap and pipe. He then certified the supply air temperature and the return air temperature were working within appropriate limits. In sum, he cured the problem. He told me that if any problems arose, I should contact him immediately. He explained precisely what he had done and wrote out each element of the completed job on the service order. The charges, while not inexpensive, were fair. Greg provided me with a clear sense of reliability and I would undoubtedly call him again if additional AC problems emerge. From beginning to end, I found his work and approach to be exemplary.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and repaired an outside air conditioning compressor that had tripped circuit breaker and ceased to cool.

+ -1 moreOur loft gets very hot, and that's where my office is. This summer has been brutal. Paul came out to check out the problem. First, it should be said that he was more knowledgeable than any HVAC contractor I've dealt with. He identified some issues and gave me a couple of options. I didn't get the diagnosis or the choices from others I spoke to. Option A was a whole new system. Ours is over 20 years old, so we're probably due. But he also suggested Option B - adding a new supply vent and return, at about 15% of the cost of a whole new system. Just before he had to leave, Paul noticed a knee wall in the loft closet. he said that before he did anything, he wanted to come back when he had time to look behind the knee wall. He came back today, got behind the knee wall, and found that the loft returns were closed by a valve in the crawl space I never knew existed. The previous owner must have closed it off. He opened the valve and immediately the air coming through the supply vents increased several orders of magnitude. The loft became much more bearable - and it's easily 90 degrees right now. He didn't submit a bill, so I asked him what I owed him. He said, "let's just call it a service charge for $95." Great! I'm sitting in my loft feeling pretty comfortable as I write this. I'm still probably going to have him come in and install a return at the top of the stairwell. Previously he quoted option B at $1500 to $1800. The quote now is $1000. That's a pretty good return on the $95!

+ -1 moreOverall their work is very good. They are a small outfit. Their price was excellent and the workmanship very good. They cleaned up very well and did this very big job in about 3 days, all while working around another crew doing the basement. There were no issue with any of the vents or other major issues where they had to cut through walls, etc. Negatives: I am not happy with how the outside air unit was mounted but that is a minor issue. DO NOT EXPECT SPEEDY RESPONSES to phone calls, estimates or any business like matters. I do not think they have an "office" and if they are busy they won't get back to you. They asked if they could put their sign out in front of the house......it was left there for 2 weeks and it has been 4 months and after 2 calls they have not come to pick it up. It now sits behind our garage. We do LOVE the central AC.
Description of Work: Delbar installed a central air unit in "our" older, home, which has radiators. They also redid the plumbing for these radiators so that we could refinish the basement.

+ -1 moreThe estimating process was protracted, with about four site visits over two months in midsummer. Once the plan was finalized, installation of the boiler and baseboard began immediately and was accomplished quickly. The radiators had a 2 month ordering interval, and arrived in early October. The bedrooms were placed first and connected to the boiler. Thereafter, some other clients' heating needs in a cold snap took priority for a day, after which the remaining zones were installed. The work was very neat and the only leak was in a radiator, not a connection. They made recommendations for additional insulation to reduce the heat load and protect the piping.
Description of Work: Delbar replaced my existing gas boiler and placed about 100' of hydronic baseboard and 14 panel radiators in five heating zones. A circulating loop for hot water to the kitchen was added at the same time.

+ -1 moreThe removal of my old furnace and ducts and the installation of the new heating and air conditioning system went like clockwork. Paul, Greg and their younger helper Mike (he did the ''dirty'' work in the crawl spaces) were always on time, courteous and professional. They worked around my schedule, as well as that of the electrician that needed to upgrade the electrical service in our home to accommodate the power requirements. They always cleaned up after themselves and today after 25 years in the same house, I'm sitting in air conditioned comfort. What the heck took me so long? I have Del Bar Heating & Air Conditioning to thank. I give them my highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Our 50 year old plus gas furnace was on its last legs. My wife and I decided we wanted to replace it and also have central air installed. What made this job especially difficult was the location of the furnace in our partial basement, and the old ductwork and returns which extended into confined crawl spaces on both sides of our home. I had other HVAC companies give me estimates, but they either wanted a ridulous price or ran away as fast as they could. Del Bar was a refreshing change. Paul and his partner Greg looked at this job as a challenge, and boy what a challenge it was! Paul and Greg each have over 20 years experience having worked for a fairly large HVAC company that went out of business a few years ago. They are extremely knowledgeable. They recommended a high efficiency 2-stage gas furnace and a 14 SEER AC condenser that could handle the load. They also had to completely reconfigure the old duct system with new ductwork and returns. They did a phenomenal job!
