Recommended: High Efficiency Gas Boilers

Our companion email list, the Cleveland Park Listserv, is a treasure trove of recommendations. We want to share on All Life Is Local, on a periodic basis, the best recommendations that have been posted on the Cleveland Park Listserv. You'll be able to search All Life Is Local for "contractor," "plumber," "computer tech," "auto body shop" -- whatever you need.

We had a new heating system installed in our house and Gary Frank did a wonderful job. His office is in Bethesda. We live in a row house and they are difficult to heat but Frank's people engineered a balanced system.

We used John Fulcher for a newly installed high efficiency boiler for radiator heat. It's been great.  It was installed in December. We got the highest efficiency unit possible that would accommodate our radiator flush system.  Call 202-258-6158.

I use a guy named John Simmons, who runs a one man show and is fabulous! I just replaced my heating system and hot water heater and he did a great clean and efficient job! 301-871-5397

Argent Heating and Cooling did that for us a couple of years ago. We went high but not the highest efficiency boiler as there was some glitch like the need to "exhaust" condensed water vapor into a drain (I think that was it, or that's what I understood at the time!). We also had a smart tank installed for domestic hot water (this runs off the boiler) as well as 20' of new European style Runtal radiators. I won't bother to tell you the model of the boiler as they change so often but it is McLain Weill. Argent H/C: Office 703-281-6300; Ron Gallant: 240 398 7006. Ron Gallant is the guy to go to at Argent; he was very good at explaining technical concepts.

Have HD Johnson on MacArthur install it. Ask for Marlon Peez.

Warren from Thomas E. Clark came to my house yesterday (Sunday!) and sent the appraisal today. $6,550 for the new boiler and $2,775 for the water heater. The folks at Thomas Clark are professionals. Office: 301-608-0550, 202-966-3900: Cell: 443-995-6180
