I like how this one doesn't look completed from the front. It's what I always aim for. Headed to Islesboro tomorrow for another multizone heat pump install. It's going to be a little breezy I hear.

It's been a busy Spring trying to make up for the lost time on crutches, but I'm happy to be back at it! More than a few waited for me to heal up, and I'm very grateful for that.

I'm still picking away at my list. Here's a few recent installs.

I've been avoiding this post, hoping I would get well enough to get caught up.

I have come to terms with the fact that I am out of commission for a while. I need a hip replacement that is approximately six to nine months away.

I think I have spoken with most of the clients that expected work from me, however I know I've missed some and I apologize for the lack of communication.

Sadly, I know I will lose some long-term customers while I am down and out, but I will be back in full force by the new year.

If you think I can help via phone or message, please do so.

Thanks for understanding,

Brian

Another happy customer in Orland today. We added a 50 gallon heat pump water heater to replace the tankless coil in thier cast iron boiler, and added a cold start aquastat.

The best part of this is Efficiency Maine rebates $850 of the cost of the heat pump water heater!

This makes it cheaper than a standard 40 gallon electric water heater in most cases. They also use up to 3 times less power than a standard electric water heater, which makes it a great replacement in homes with a basement.

All this fancy jargon means is:
The hot water boiler with tankless coil needs to maintain between 160°F and 180°F even during the SUMMER to heat the domestic tap water.

A significant amount of that heat gets sucked up and out of the chimney due to natural draft. Another large portion gets lost to the basement area around the boiler. You're basically heating the outdoors and your basement 24/7/365 if you have a tankless water heater in your oil fired boiler.

Now with the new H.P.W.H. and cold start aquastat, the boiler will only run when there is a call for heat (when you room thermostat asks for heat).

Addition benefits gained from the heat pump water heaters. They dehumidify the area (typically basements), and require little maintenance (wash a filter twice a year).

Message if you are interested. In most case we can do a quote based of a couple pictures and a few easy questions.

Here is a recent boiler replacement on a beautiful home overlooking Penobscot bay. I regret not taking before photos of this job.

The previous system, required the boiler to maintain 180°F year round. That old school setup wastes oil, by maintaining 180° while waiting for the hot water to be turned at a faucet all summer long, day or night. This allows heat to be dispersed in the basement, and lost up the chimney due to natural draft even when its 90° outside.

The domestic hot water is now generated from a heat pump water heater which is the most economical way to heat water in a stand alone package. It also dehumidifiers the basement by the nature of it's operation.

The previous boiler ran at 83% Efficiency 24/7/365. The new Viessmann boiler with Riello burner runs at 86.8% Efficiency, and only runs when there is a call for heat.

The owner has the fuel oil costs for last year, and plans to report back the savings during the heating season. I cant wait to see the results. A full year fuel oil consumption report would show even greater savings, as I find heat pump water heaters average $14-18/month to operate for a family of three.
