How much should an HVAC service call be?

• <div><p>Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between <b>$75 and $150</b>, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around <b>$150</b>. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.</p></div>

Q: Are there energy-efficient measures taken during these services?

• <div><p>Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my geothermal system?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, loop flushing, and checking heat exchangers help extend system lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to using a geothermal heat pump for floor heating?

• <div><p>The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps. </p></div>

Q: Is a geothermal heat pump worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, geothermal heat pumps are worth the money. You can save about 70% on heating costs in the winter and around 50% on cooling costs in the summer with a geothermal heat pump compared to a traditional HVAC system. Over time, your savings on monthly utilities will pay for the cost of the geothermal heat pump installation. If you have an incredibly small yard, however, you may not have enough space for this type of system. </p></div>

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.
