We&#039;ve turned to them for almost every heating need since their visit <a href=\"http:\/\/redneckmodern.typepad.com\/redneckmodern\/2008\/10\/busted-up-and-back-together-again.html\">to repair a leaky pipe<\/a>. Over the course of the renovation, we&#039;ve found a few folks who are the unquestionable go-to&#039;s and Glen and Ben are two of them. Glen knows more about fluid-mechanics than most engineers (and I&#039;m married to one and a son-in-law to another).<\/p>\n<p>Our boiler for the radiant heat was installed a bit backwards a few decades ago and it was on its last legs. Granted, it might&#039;ve held out for another season or two, but the last thing we wanted was a broken heater on a cold night in Concord with our heating guys tackling jobs in the South Bay.<\/p>\n<p>I contacted them few weeks ago when the old-boiler broke again and Glen talked me through a fix (a safety switch was thrown). We began to discuss the idea of a new boiler. Given the market forces and the warming temperature, they were able to offer an outstanding deal on a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radiantheat.net\/equipment_boilers\/\">Triangle Tube Solo-110<\/a> wall-hanging boiler. Additionally, since the unit is energy-star rated, we&#039;re eligible for a $1500 tax-credit at year&#039;s end (which might not hold out forever)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We decided to take the plunge and on Monday &#8212; a week or so after we initially discussed it, Glen and Ben were installing the new unit.<\/p>\n<p>As with all of their work , the installation is top-notch and super-clean &#8212; just the way I like it. We even worked together to install a bit of pegboard over the old drywall to give the wall a bit more finished look and a lot more functionality.<\/p>\n<p>After the install, Glen took the time to go over everything in detail, which was quite nice.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of the install before I re-loaded the utility room with garden supplies. Fortunately, since there&#039;s so much new room available, I think I can store my new battery-powered mower out there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfb40970c-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0745\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfb40970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfb40970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfbb5970c-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0746\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfbb5970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfbb5970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfc5e970c-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0747\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfc5e970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfc5e970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfc96970c-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0749\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfc96970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfc96970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfcd4970c-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0751\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfcd4970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfcd4970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e20120a9552b11970b-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0752\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e20120a9552b11970b \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e20120a9552b11970b-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfda5970c-popup\" style=\"float: left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_0753\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfda5970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201310fbbfda5970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;width: 100px\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#039;s no surprise that we&#039;re big fans of Anderson Heating.
