"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Leaks, poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and loop blockages are common problems requiring service.
