"My experience with Pierce was outstanding from start to finish. When my AC went out during the worst heat spell of the year, I was honestly stressed and worried about finding someone who wouldn?t overcharge me or cut corners. From the moment I called Prolific Construction, Pierce was responsive, kind, and honest. He took the time to listen to what was going on before he even showed up, which already told me he cared about doing things thoroughly. When he arrived, he was right on time?no waiting around for a vague window. He got straight to work, explaining what he was checking and why in clear, simple terms that made me feel informed and empowered. I never once felt like I was being upsold on anything I didn?t need. Pierce is one of those rare professionals who values transparency, and that?s so refreshing. He found the problem quickly and had the parts ready to fix it on the spot. My house was cooling down before he even left the driveway. Prolific Construction will take care ofyou"

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.

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.

While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.

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.

HVAC systems usually last between 10 and 30 years, with most having a lifespan of around 20 years. Factors that impact a unit’s life expectancy include which brand you choose, how often you use it, and how well you maintain it. To make sure yours lasts as long as possible, make sure to keep it clean and schedule an annual service with an HVAC technician.
