Did not hire and wouldn't recommend anyone hire. A POS who keeps his female dog that is in heat on a chain outside and then shoots male dogs with shotgun as they go to his house. My dog suffers from seizures now due to this POS. Can't wait to see karma have her way with him.

He came to my house, helped me take off my trash and we went to get the heater. It took him a couple of hours to finished and he even loaded the old one in the back of my truck for me. I will most certainly use him again.

When you show up for your appointment they take you back to a meditation room and offer you hot tea, water or coffee to drink. Every room is decorated in a different theme, very beautiful rooms. The massage tables are heated. This is a wonderful, relaxing experience well worth the money.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.

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.

Service costs range from $200 to $1,500, depending on maintenance needs, system age, and labor.

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.

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.
