They tore up my drive train while doing an oil change and then refused to fix. I visually saw the tech do the damage and had it towed to another dealer who confirmed the damage Roundtree was guilty of. Instead of fixing they had a 1 yr no tress pass put against me and my 70 yr old mother.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.

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.

If a geothermal heat pump is installed correctly, then you shouldn’t have to worry about having a backup heat source such as a furnace or oil boiler. However, there are geothermal systems installed that include a backup in case the heat pump fails due to extreme cold. This is simply a backup heat pump you’ll likely never need and not an alternative heat source.
