Tony in North Toronto

With our 25 year-old boiler on its last legs, and the 2009-10 rebate program deadline fast approaching, we contacted 4 local suppliers of high efficiency boilers (after first doing lots of on-line research). Each of the suppliers responded quickly and provided estimates and recommendations. Belyea's rep Bruce, however, provided a great deal more information and offered to have the company's owner, David, come to review the potential installation. This he did and pointed out the benefit of installing the higher coast option of a combination boiler, one that would would provide heating as well as domestic hot water on demand, thus removing the 40-gallon hot water tank. At the same time, we asked for a quotation on extending radiators into our ground floor addition (heated by wasteful electric baseboard heaters). David returned to provide a very accurate measurement of the room's requirement and we agreed to install low slim-line rads - essentially getting "free Heat". The boiler we chose is a Baxi wall-hung unit - this gained us space in the basement and provided a very neat installation. The crew were prompt, efficient, courteous and clean. The main install was done in a day, with the extra rads installed a day later. We have now had a winter's worth of experience and I can say the system performs perfectly. I have already recommend Belyea to friends.
