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

An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.

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

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.

Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.

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