Virginia Beach Boiler Installation

Premier Services Done with Utmost Professionalism

American Mechanical installs all models and brands of HVAC equipment. Boilers and radiators are not usually installed on new construction. Many older residences do have these types of systems and many of the older apartment buildings and office buildings still have the system, as this type of system works well in those situations. The benefits of a steam or hot-water systems are not usually discussed.

However, they do have fewer moving parts, making them more reliable and durable if maintained properly, and they are not as complicated as the newer forced air heating systems. They provide a clean, dust-free form of heat, which is a huge plus for homeowners who react negatively to the dust or other allergens that can be stirred up by forced air and other modern heating systems.

How Do Boiler Systems Work?

The steam heating system is made up of a water boiler, a burner, the pipes, and radiators, and/or convectors. The boiler heats the water, which turns it into steam. The steam travels through the pipes to the radiators and/or convectors into each room to be heated.

As the energy spreads throughout the room, the steam cools and condenses back into water. The water is returned to the boiler to be heated, and the process is repeated.

Which Type Is Right for My Space?

The burner can heat the boiler in a couple of different ways such as oil, natural gas or electricity. Each have their own perks and setbacks, but our experts can help you select the right one for your property.

Electrically heated boilers: are generally more expensive to operate than gas-heated or oil-heated boilers. They are also easier to maintain and don’t do quite as much damage as the other two when they break down. They are usually found in larger buildings (offices and commercial properties).

Gas-heated or oil-heated boilers are usually found in smaller, older apartment buildings or multi-family houses. Radiators are heat-transferring devices where the pipes that transfer steam are exposed, while convectors are heating devices in which the pipes are partially shielded. Convectors are safer to touch, since they tend to be cooler than radiators. Both types still warrant caution while in operation.

Rave Reviews From Happy Customers

“Randy B. and Kevin G. work for American Mechanical as HVAC specialists. They recently replaced all of the air conditioning and heating ducts in my home. Both Randy and Kevin are skilled professionals and are a well organized team. They were both courteous, dres neat and I always got a call or e-mail to let me know they were coming to my home. American Mechanical is fortunate to have them in their employment!” - Bob D.
“GENERAC advised me to have a generator safety check performed. American Mechanical was recommended as an authorized company. I was so impressed by the professionalism, it started from the first call made to set the appointment. I love the reminder text messages provided by this company, keeping you up to date along with the picture of your technician coming to your home. Jason Gay, the technician was icing on the cake. Oh my, you could feel his genuine attitude and confidence that he knew he worked with a great company. It’s nice to see loyalty from employees. It means to me, the company takes care of their employees and in turn, the employees take good care of their clients. Technicians can make or break a company. I actually called three other companies on the recommended companies and I did not get a warm feeling on any of those. They could not even tell me when they could come out. American Mechanical scheduled an appointment with me within a few days and the technician was on time, with a friendly smile and a warm hand shake. Also when Jason speaks with you he looks directly into your eyes. That means he is listening to your questions and concerns. I don’t get that much anymore from most companies. I can tell you that you have a home run hit with Jason Gay. He thoroughly checked my generator and took the time to explain the maintenance plans offered by his company. He also gave me helpful safety tips that were very important. I have now found a go to company because of his visit, that I feel will do what they promise to do for most of my household need for repairs. It is so hard to find great companies that really care. I highly recommend American Mechanical! Thanks again Jason for having those good old fashioned business etiquette that rarely exists in today’s time.” - Regina W
“Sales, installation and service was first rate! I truly appreciate the service rendered over a two day period by Tony J. and Taylor B. They were on time and most professional. I left a BBB rating with five stars for each gentleman. American Mechanical is a wonderful company with superb employees. I love my new HVAC Trane system and will enjoy it for many years to come!” - Mike W.
“My husband and I have been so very impressed with American Mechanical and their staff! We are having electrical upgrades and a GENERAC back up generator installed for our home. Jason was our first contact. He met with us, answered our many questions, inspected the house and gave us suggestions. Jason made us feel very comfortable with our decision to have this work accomplished. The technicians at our house were Jon, Rodney and Tim. They were such hard workers! All were very friendly, patient with all my questions and made us feel relaxed and comfortable having them at our residence. In addition, Kirsti has been our contact regarding scheduling. She has been most helpful with keeping us informed about when and what would be happening. Highly recommend this company! Excellent employees!” - Sandra P.
“What an INCREDIBLE company to work with! Kirsti in the office helped us get the right people out here for the situation we had going on. Shaw inspected our old system, told us it was done. Scoped the duct lines prior to putting together a plan for a new system, once the duct work checked out passable the new system came together beautifully! Bobby and Dillon showed up and got to work a day earlier than expected (which is wonderful with temps expected to reach 90 degrees and we had no air conditioning). By the end of day one we had air conditioning downstairs, On day two of the installation we had air conditioning upstairs. They fully explained EVERYTHING. No question was left hanging. They fixed things I didn’t realize were a problem. Definitely a company I would recommend to everyone I know. Thank you American Mechanical from start to finish, GREAT JOB!” - Stacy D.
“HVAC Solutions Specialist – Mr. Mike Hayes – TOP SHELF Mike came to our house as a “second opinion” regarding replacing our two HVAC units. He was very personal, professional, and knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable and hopeful after talking with him. He took the time to educate us on our systems and even noted that one of our systems was still under warranty. Since we are on a fixed income, it was a true testament of Mike’s character and work ethic to have someone educate us instead of sell. Did you know the date your HVAC was installed is actually the date the warranty starts and not the date on the equipment? I am confident that once we are free from our current maintenance agreement with the other company, we will call on Mike and American Mechanical for any future needs as their mission statement holds true with our experience: PEOPLE – TRUST – VALUE. Thank you…” - Sherry B.
“James, Rich took care of me today and we signed a contract for two more bathrooms and included a vent for the third. I continue to be a raving American Mechanical fan. Very pleased all around with your company. Please let your leadership know how well you all do. For me to experience such consistency in service level all around reflects very well on the leadership and management of your company. I’ve worked in the client service industry over 25 years and I know it starts at the top when delivering client service. I’ve dealt with so many American Mechanical employees and get that genuine high level of service every time. But I wouldn’t be starting my third project if your initial sales person , who I believe is Rodger, had not been so persistent in following up on my Home Advisor inquiry for my first job. I had already had three quotes but he called me back four or five times in two days- and that is why I ended up with American Mechanical and got what I thought was the best deal. Of course, Neil was exceptional in closing me on the first deal. After that, why would we bother to get anyone else for the additional work we need? If anyone ever asks for a reference, please use me. I look forward to the next projects! I think rewarding your employees for 5 star reviews is a brilliant idea. Happy employees make for happy clients!” - Millie W
“I am just trying to figure out how to brag on all of the guys – Mike, Bobby, Dillon, Tony, Taylor and David (hope I did not miss anyone) that just installed our new HVAC unit on Thursday. What a professional company you are…from the detailed comparison pricing after Mike reviewed our issues to the fact that every single one of your guys introduced themselves, shook our hands and explained what they would be doing. Drop cloths, booties and immaculate clean up; before and after pictures and just the total experience! Your company gave us an experience that impressed us. We hope to do additional business with you in the future. Thank you again.” - Karen G.
“Sean and everyone I’ve dealt with at American Mechanical have been a real pleasure to do work with. Top notch customer service and they don’t treat you like just a number. Good pricing and they give you lots of options and walk you through every detail. Can’t say enough good things!” - Caleb S.
