Moved to NC from the AZ desert and didn't know the first thing about how to keep grass alive and weeds away, had neither at the old place. Most of my neighbors use Turf Wizards, so I tried them out. My yard went from a dump to a beautiful green carpet. I'll add one thing. Recently, I had a...

It was done as promised.I had checked out the different brands and this band has a good rating. What sold them is it was the best price for heating with air. We were replacing a propane heater and the air was basicly a bonus.

I've been using Barto for over 25 years. They were very quick to make an easy sale and sell me the 5 year warranty program. It took them 5 days to arrange delivery, which I can understand that it can take some time. I had to pay extra for the mount that the unit slides into and for the...

For nearly a year we had a relatively painless automatic oil delivery experience with these folks, who also do business as "Arlington Energy." In October 2009, however, we ran out of oil. They hadn't filled the tank since April, despite the fact that when we signed up we said that our oil...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.

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.

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.

There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.
