My water heater quit Saturday night. Called Paster Sunday morning. Gary, the technician, arrived at the appointed hour. I needed a new water heater. Gary gave me a fair price for the install and offered me the option of obtaining the new water heater on my own, which saved me a lot...

Gary and Riverking staff picked up the pieces to be painted promptly and worked with our schedule pretty well. They ended up taking longer than expected due to the weather and underestimating the time to do oil based painting. The results were very good. They took great care in delivering the...

The electrician explained to the plumber how to cut the power on for the heater, however, the plumber failed to do so, thus the water heater apparently didn't work. That was the sole reason for the markdown from an "A" rating. No doubt with pure plumbing he'd rate an "A". The electrician was...

Badly. The oil change took too long, but the conversation I had with the person there was scary. He repeated the "classic" lies about oil changes (every 3k miles, "especially" for import cars, despite the fact that the manufacturer says 5,000). He tried to oversell me on services (drive belt,...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

HVAC systems usually last between 10 and 30 years, with most having a lifespan of around 20 years. Factors that impact a unit’s life expectancy include which brand you choose, how often you use it, and how well you maintain it. To make sure yours lasts as long as possible, make sure to keep it clean and schedule an annual service with an HVAC technician.

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.

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.

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.

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.
