He did a great job. As he was looking at the heat pump, I asked him if he thought I should purchase a new heat pump. He told me if my wife and I were his mom and dad, he said he would not recommend it until the unit had to be replaced. That was very helpful because our budget is not very good...

They were able to get to my job quickly and performed the replacement quickly. My only complaints are lack of cleanup and I would've liked an overview of the new heater. Items that were moved to provide access to the heater were not put back, which wouldn't be a big deal except I've had back...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

You need to service an HVAC system about twice per year, with a service including an inspection and basic maintenance. It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives).

Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. HVAC maintenance costs around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.

Service costs range from $200 to $1,500, depending on maintenance needs, system age, and labor.

While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.

Regular inspections, loop flushing, and checking heat exchangers help extend system lifespan.

Most maintenance checks take 2-5 hours, though extensive repairs may take longer.
