Customer called me for a replacement estimate on his water boiler. Previous companies gave him sky-high pricing and told him replacement was his only option.

When I arrived, I started asking questions. He told me the boiler often won't fully light up, throws an ignition error, and he has to keep resetting it. This unit heats his domestic hot water, so it needs to run year-round.

I observed the boiler for a few minutes. Just from the sound of the burners, I told him right away — your incoming gas pressure is low. You don't need a new boiler.

The look on his face? Shocked. Nobody had told him that before.

I pulled my tools and measured gas pressure at the valve: 8.9" WC. This boiler requires a minimum of 11" WC and a maximum of 13" WC. It was starving for gas — that's why it wouldn't ignite properly.

After making adjustments, I brought the incoming gas pressure up to 11.16" WC. I also checked the heat exchanger to make sure it wasn't leaking, and vacuumed out the entire unit.

Is this boiler old? Yes — 20 years. Does it show signs of age? Sure. But as long as the core — the heat exchanger — isn't leaking and the exhaust system is in good condition, there is NO reason to replace the entire boiler. These Weil-McLain units will last a long time if they're properly maintained.

The customer was thrilled that I saved him a lot of money and asked for a stack of business cards to pass around to his friends.

This is what Cold Breeze is about — diagnose the problem, fix the problem, save the customer money. Not every call needs to be a sale.

Another example of a big company charging big money without doing the work to match.

A client in Milford called me after the company she'd been using wanted $300 to clean her outdoor unit and wash the indoor filters. When I arrived, here's what I found:

❌ The condenser was sloped so badly to one side that water wasn't draining through the weep holes — it was pooling inside and starting to damage the drain pan.

❌ Once I opened the unit up, it was clear nobody had actually taken it apart in years. Spiders, buildup, you name it — for a unit that was supposedly "cleaned every year."

When the customer saw me with nearly every panel removed, she said: "The other guys never did that." I showed her the condition inside and she was shocked.

Here's what I did:
✅ Leveled the unit using vibration eliminators under the feet and pad so it drains properly
✅ Fully disassembled and deep cleaned the condenser
✅ Cleaned the indoor unit, treated the coil with cleaner and deodorizer so it smells fresh

I was rushing and didn't grab photos of the indoor unit before cleaning — lesson learned! But the outdoor unit pictures tell the story.

When you pay for a cleaning, it should actually BE a cleaning. Job well done, on to the next one.

Got a call from an older gentleman who needed AC in his room. He's disabled and can no longer install window units on his own.

When I arrived on site, I learned he's a Veteran.

I reached out to F.W. Webb Company and together we worked out a great price for a great cause. I installed his unit for material cost only.

This is what it's about. Our Veterans gave everything for us — the least we can do is make sure they're comfortable in their own home.

Cold Breeze will always support our Veterans and families in need. That's not a slogan, that's a promise. 🇺🇸

Recently I was called out as a THIRD technician to evaluate a customer's AC system. Here's what she was dealing with before she found Cold Breeze:

❌ Company #1 (big outfit bought out by an investment group) — replaced her furnace last year at an astronomical price. Their salesman later called her trying to scare her into a 3.5 TON unit, claiming his "heat load calculation" showed 50% of her house was glass. Half the house. Glass. 😂

❌ Company #2 — charged her just for the estimate, added R-22 refrigerant to a system he KNEW was leaking (R-22 has been phased out for years), and still quoted her a high price for replacement.

I sat down with the customer, walked her through the numbers, explained exactly why her home needs a 3 TON unit — not 3.5 — and gave her a fair, honest price. She booked the install right there on the spot.

Monday I replaced her AC system. Four hours start to finish, clean jobsite when I left. She told me the previous company took from 8 AM to 10 PM to replace her furnace.

This is what Cold Breeze is about — honest work, fair pricing, and treating people right. No gimmicks, no scare tactics, no inflated numbers.

Emergency replacement !

Customer called me Wednesday that his boiler is leaking and not working. Upon investigation I found that cast iron is cracked and inducer motor blades shattered in pieces.

I quoted CGI replacement for same new boiler and high efficiency Alta from U.S. Boiler Company that in my opinion is the best out there ! Customer picked Alta and with help from F.W. Webb Company branch I got the boiler installed Friday ! Unfortunately I was not able to re-pipe everything as I would like to due to customer asking me to keep costs as low as possible.

As always new Alta was just purring like a kitten at 30-40% capacity, maintaining the water temp.

This was a LONG but great project!

The customer called and asked if I could help him since no one knows what's going on in here. Upon arrival, I was shocked to see a second, I repeat, a second air-to-water heat pump in the USA 😀I came across.
In Europe, systems like this are very popular and efficient; almost all houses have radiant heat, which means PEX tubing is installed under or inside the floor. This system is great because you do not need to heat water to 160-180°F, as in traditional boilers; instead, you need around 105°F water to flow through the piping. Since there is insulation radiating heat upward, even at a 68°F set point in the room, you feel significantly warmer, as you are essentially walking on a heating surface. Low temperatures like these allow you to lower the costs of heating your house and improve comfort.

For cooling, this house utilizes The Unico System high-velocity system, where cold water is pumped to the units, and fans push cold air through small openings to the entire house.

Two outdoor Chilltrix 50 heat pump units, manufactured by The Unico System, produce either cold or hot water, which is pumped into a buffer tank and distributed to the Fan Coil Units for cooling or the Radiant Floor system for heating. Units will automatically switch based on the outdoor temperature to provide the correct water temperature.

Additionally, one of these units is responsible for heating another tank, which is used for domestic hot water. It is 80 gallons, so there is plenty of water available for customers, and the unit has sufficient time to adjust to the desired temperature, ensuring it remains consistently hot at 120°F.

The customer was hesitant about whether to install new heat pumps or remove everything and install something else, as the previous plumber who came to inspect and fix the issue had done little and left the units filled with water over the winter, resulting in heat exchangers bursting due to freezing. I assured him that this is the best system for his big house, and once everything is done, he will be pleased! I informed him that I will use a glycol mixture to prevent freezing, so he doesn't have to worry about it ever.

This morning, he called asking how he can lower the temperature, as it feels like a sauna at 76°F. 🤣 Yesterday, I warned him not to set it to 76°F because these are new-generation pumps; they are great units and are going to deliver what he is asking for. So, be careful about setting the thermostat, as it will get very hot!

My only advice was "crack a window and wait" for it to cool and set your thermostat at a lower temperature, I suggest 68F, and see how it feels. If it is slightly cold, put it to 70°F. Well, a few hours later, he said at last it cooled off, and now it is 68F, it feels fantastic, and he will leave it at that temp 😀

This is the time when you are asking yourself, "Why would somebody sell something that they cannot back up with proper tech support...?"
Mitsubishi Hyper Heat mini split - serving 4 rooms via a branch box. The same error occurs on all the thermostats, indicating an issue with communication. I checked all the wiring, and nothing had changed or was broken. Outdoor PCB board showing no life at all. To obtain a warranty part, I must call tech support and get a case number to attach to the warranty claim. Waiting 25 minutes for tech support to pick up a phone call from a technician who needs only the case number is crazy... I know a lot of Mitsu guys will say "oh, you need a special number," etc, "if you are not a diamond contractor with Mitsubishi, forget it". I stand by my simple sentence: your product is as good as your tech support. I can call SamsungHVAC-USA tech support at their main number, not a special number, and I don't need to be a tier contractor or installer. They pick up right away, give you a case number, and you speak with someone within 3-5 minutes who will walk you through any issue you have. I can also call any other brand tech support, and you can talk with someone within 5 minutes. This 25-minute call turned into a lady telling me that no one from tech support was available. She took my number and said that they would call me back. If I tell you that nobody ever called back, would you believe me? Well, that happened, and I never received a callback from anyone. A supply house ordered a board, which I replaced, trusting my gut. The unit was back in service, but I had to fight with Mitsubishi to get warrant reimbursement for the board cost because I did not include the case number in my claim.

And yes, you are reading it right, I have to buy a new board, replace the old one, ensure it works, then return the old broken one and apply for reimbursement. If you miss a step with them, you will have to go through a lot of hoops to get your money back.

The customer called asking if I could stop by and check his unit, as it's not cooling, and the outdoor unit makes a weird sound. I asked him to turn the system off, and I will check it out. Upon inspection, his compressor did not compress and made sounds similar to shaking golf balls in a large metal container. Since the unit was under warranty, I provided a quote for labor and materials and ordered his compressor upon approval of the quote.
At some point, I had a pyramid of these LG compressors in a scrap pile. This must be the worst compressor ever made, and it is still being used by some manufacturers. Unfortunately, the new warranty replacement compressor was also the same brand, LG. "Lifetime Grounded," I call them.... The supply house was unable to switch brands to a different one since only this brand was installed in Coleman condensers. I informed the customer that this is not the first and last time he will call to have it replaced. I give it 3-4 years before it will fail again.
In a situation like this, you can obtain a free warranty part, or you may need to purchase a different brand and have it installed. Most people will go with option #1 since compressors are expensive.

After the replacement, the unit was back on and cooling properly. Job done!
"Until we meet again, LG....."

Old 23-year-old SamsungHVAC-USA out, new in! The old unit was only cooling, while the new one is a heat pump. I also changed the gutter from the line to the actual plastic covers. I forgot to take an inside picture, but the new Windfree 3.0e unit is rocking! I was able to actually fix the old one, 2 wires were loose but customer would like to have heat as well so I pulled it out.

An old house, a lack of forced air vents in the bedroom - that's how this starts.

The previous owner never installed proper forced-air vents in the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. To maintain heat, you must keep the door open to allow warm air to circulate from the 1st floor. The new owner requested a 2-zone outdoor unit and 1 indoor unit for now. The second unit will be added next year for the second bedroom. Now you can have privacy and sleep comfortably!
