The Roto-Rooter plumber was able to replace the hot water heater effectively and efficiently the same day I requested their service, several hours after I requested it. I was very pleased with their prompt attention to this matter as the water heater was leaking into my kitchen. Great job.

I had some problems the last time I did my oil change. They always put a sticker inside your windshield what time you need your next oil change and it’s supposed to be 3000 miles and they put mileage down as next oil change as 6000 miles. I had to make then do some changing on that. It’s not a...

They did a wonderful job! Very attentive and eyes for detail. They called me over right away when they found some discolored spots in the wood (a trail of what was probably car oil leading from one side of room to hallway that was at least 30 years old) and went over possible options, explaining...

Firestone is not always the quickest place to get service. I think they have a high turnover rate and are understaffed at times. One time they over filled our oil, but they did fix that. I would have to say they're average in auto service. The price I paid for the tire is what was prorated from...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.

Your HVAC manufacturer will give you instructions on how often you should service your system. Have your unit professionally serviced at least once a year when in doubt.

Heat pump systems are different because they provide heating and cooling solutions for your home. In this case, you should have it serviced at least twice a year.

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.

There are three main types of heat pumps. An air-source heat pump system is the most common and has two parts—an indoor air handler unit and an outdoor heat pump unit. A ductless heat pump system functions similarly to an air-source heat pump system but doesn’t need ductwork to distribute the air. A geothermal heat pump system pulls heat from the ground to help heat your home.

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.
