Q: Is a geothermal heat pump worth it?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How long does geothermal servicing take?

• <div><p>Most maintenance checks take 2-5 hours, though extensive repairs may take longer.</p></div>

Q: Should you run an ERV system all the time?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a better use of energy (and your money) NOT to run an ERV system all the time. Most experts recommend that you cycle your ERV system on and off throughout the year. However, the recommended advice could change based on your climate, the number of people in your home, the size and style of your home, and your heating and cooling system. Contact a local pro for more specific advice. </p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to using a geothermal heat pump for floor heating?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

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>

He's very nice and good at what he does. He would have received 5 stars if he would have come back and pick up the old water heater and the box, that the new one came in.

They are very prompt. We have used them for years to service our heating and air conditioning. Even the owner of the company has come out when he's been needed. They are always here when they say they will be and they always call when they're on the way.

The costs seemed out of line, for example for an A coil repair, heat pump, and copper it was $7500. We decided to get a second opinion. The second opinion was $3500 less, as was their inspection fee.

"Insulation guys were great but the windows are horrible. They let cold air in worse than our old windows. We called them and they finally came out and put a little strip of Insulation on them and they still let in cold air and whistle when the wind blows. We have called and left messages and no calls back. I wouldn't recommend Rolox windows to anyone. Paid around 1000$ per window and still cold air comes in. Never again."
