Holtzople is a leading HVAC company in Frederick, Carroll, and Washington counties in Maryland, as well as Adams and small parts of Franklin & York counties in Pennsylvania, featuring all the top brands in the Heating and Cooling industry, such as Trane, Bryant, Lennox, Carrier, ClimateMaster, WaterFurnace, and more. We recently added an electrical department to our services, making us your one-stop shop for HVAC and electrical needs. Quality is Not Expensive, It's Priceless!

"Holtzople installed a geothermal system in 2013 to replace our heating oil furnace and electric air conditioning unit. Boy did that cut our heating and cooling bill way down! This review is about the recent semi-annual service maintenance visit. Shout out to Kevin the technician who is friendly, professional and focused. He gets right down to business and is quiet as a mouse as he thoroughly goes through the extensive maintenance checklist and performs all required tasks. He then takes the time to fully brief us on what he did what he found and what if anything he recommends. He then opens it up for questions and is very patient and thorough in answereing any questions we might have. Hint: he's also an expert on anything Disney World if you might be thinking about visiting there.... We highly recommend Holtzople, a great company, because they really do take care of us."

"We bought a new construction and McCrea installed the HVAC. Home inspection identified the heat pump was not working in Oct. 2020. McCrea identified it was due to leaking refrigerants and promise fixed the issue. Our electric bill was extremely high the following two months and the heat pump was not cooling in Spring 2021. McCrea sent technician and again repaired the system. Bought their maintenance plan. We had 4+ repairs plus regular tune up in the past two years. Last week the heat pump stopped cooling again. We are out of labor warranty and charge us with $89 diagnostic cost after membership discount. It took three days for them to send someone to check while we suffering 90F in our house. They identified the compressor dead and need replacement. They charge $1900 for labor after membership discount. Most likely cause of the compressor failure is "suicide" with assistance. Low refrigerant at beginning and over change in later repairs likely contributed the short life."

We are a small family owned Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) company located in Sharpsburg, MD. The business was started in 1989 under the name of RW Harrell's Pump Service Inc. when Diane Harrell and Ronnie Harrell purchased a well pump and water system business from a gentleman that was retiring. Ronnie had worked in the HVAC field from the time he had graduated from high school so it was natural to add HVAC to the services that this new company would offer. Ronnie and Diane built the company by word of mouth and continue to grow the company in this manner. Additional DBA - Harrell's Services. Additional fax - 928-492-8004

I’m Miles, and I have been in the electrical industry for 4 years. I have completed high school trade schooling and 4 year technical schooling. My best skillset is in residential wiring, including new construction wiring, remodels, troubleshooting, electrical panels, fixture installation, and much more. I’m also skilled in commercial work, such as bending and installing conduit, running MC cable, and working on three phase power systems. I work independently at a company but I enjoy doing work for people on my days off or in my free time. I have multiple clients that I’ve been working with for years, they’ve become more of friends than just people I work for. I enjoy my work and the people it allows me to get to know and help.

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don’t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.

Chimney caps are necessary both from a building safety standpoint in most municipalities and to keep your home protected from a variety of issues. Chimney caps are not only mandated by building code in most areas, but they also serve to keep squirrels, raccoons, and other pests out of your home, as well as snow and rain. Therefore, they help to avoid property damage, making them a worthwhile investment.

Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. 

Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.

In addition to an annual inspection, regular maintenance will keep your gas fireplace in good condition. Keep the glass, logs, and other accessible parts free of dust and debris, check for broken logs or rocks, and look for any gaps or cracks in the glass or exterior. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detector before you start using your fireplace for the season.

Fireplace repair costs around $600 on average, but simple repairs can total as low as $100, while more complex repairs could reach up to $2,500 or more. The specific repair will be the most significant factor. Here are some common fireplace repairs below, along with the average pricing of each:

  • Firebox repair: $160–$2,500

  • Gas valve repair: $150–$300

  • Hearth repair: $150–$800

  • Igniter repair: $100–$150

  • Mantel repair: $500–$1,200

  • Pilot light repair: $100–$350

  • Refractory panel repair: $200–$300

  • Thermocouple repair: $75–$350

  • Thermopile repair: $75–$350
