Mario could have charged us more and had to do extra to paint over the heat damaged areas in our garage, instead he applied a substance that would allow the paint to adhere to the walls even though this oil discoloration was on the walls. The walls turned out perfect and it did not cost us a fortune. It is always such a pleasure working with Mario and his people they are so thoughtful and courteous.

I arrived about 15 minutes early but they went ahead and took my van in early. I was a little put off by a man sitting behind the counter smoking a cigarette when I walked in to the shop. However, the man (Dennis), was very nice and spoke to an older woman who had actually talked with me over the phone earlier. I think she was a prior owner of this business who had sold it to her son and she was just filling in for her son who was on vacation. (based on subsequent conversation with her). She was not too friendly at first..instead of asking politely for my keys she simply said "Keys" to me without smiling when she wanted me to hand over the keys to my van. I would expect more smiling and friendliness towards a brand new customer, but perhaps she was feeling irritated by having to fill in for her son and "not getting paid for it" as she told me. After taking my keys she came out into the lobby waiting area and turned on the TV for me and handed me the remote. I thought this was very thoughtful of her. (Please note that I had just previously mentioned to her that I had heard about their shop on Angie's List. This may have prompted her to be more friendly to me at that point). She then stepped outside to smoke a cigarette which I appreciated. Though I really don't like tobacco smoking near me at a place of business at any time. It's a real turn-off for me. My van was completed in about 40 minutes. I found Dennis and the woman above and the mechanic who changed my oil to be very friendly as we engaged in chit-chat just before I left the shop. I would definitely go back to have my oil changed again as the price was very competitive. The smoking needs to go though.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts
You need to service an HVAC system about twice per year, with a service including an inspection and basic maintenance. It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives).
Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. HVAC maintenance costs around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.
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.
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.
Most maintenance checks take 2-5 hours, though extensive repairs may take longer.
NATE-certified technicians may charge slightly higher service fees compared to non-certified technicians. This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system. When looking for a local HVAC company to hire, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications.
