Salvador and his son came over and replaced TWO (!) water heaters—one in the main house and one in a guest house. I had bought the water heaters in advance. After he saw them, he told me that the new codes call for an “expansion tank” which helps the water heater last longer. He could either get...

I had a problem with the heater I purchased and they were very nice and easy to deal with. It was the product and they took care of it with no hassle, great customer service. They also have certain smaller items that you cant find other places, ex liquid ant bait.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

A geothermal heat pump system will take about 10 years to pay for itself, and it has a life span of anywhere from about 25 to 50 years. Installing a geothermal heat pump will cost about $14,250 upfront, but it can reduce your energy bills by around 65% when compared to a conventional HVAC system.

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

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.

For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement.

You can expect a geothermal system to last for years. According to the Department of Energy, the underground infrastructure for the heat pumps lasts about 25 to 50 years, which includes the pipes buried in the soil. The actual heat pump itself has a life span of around 25 years.
