How much should an HVAC service call be?

• <div><p>Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between <b>$75 and $150</b>, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem.

Do you need backup heat with geothermal?

• <div><p>If a geothermal heat pump is installed correctly, then you shouldn’t have to worry about having a backup heat source such as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/furnace-and-heating-basics.htm">furnace</a> or oil boiler. However, there are geothermal systems installed that include a backup in case the heat pump fails due to extreme cold.

Q: Do NATE-certified technicians cost more?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/hvac-companies/">local HVAC company to hire</a>, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take for geothermal to pay for itself?

• <div><p>A geothermal heat pump system will take about <b>10 years</b> 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. </p></div>

Q: Are there energy-efficient measures taken during these services?

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.

"I contacted Rolox Home Service to replace my roof, gutters and some wood rot. They had to work within a tight deadline and were amazing. They promptly came out to do an inspection, determine the work that needed to be done, and they also worked with the company I was refinancing through to make sure that everything was done correctly. Their crews were kind, courteous and got the job done on time and thoroughly cleaned up my yard and landscaping. I plan on having them come back in the future to paint my house. I can't say enough good things about my contact person and crews."
