Q: What are the benefits of geothermal heating and cooling?

• <div><p>Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.</p></div>

Q: How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

• <div><p>For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a misting system?

• <div><p>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.</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>
