I like that they have 24-hour service and that I could do a budget plan with them. I don't have to call to schedule deliveries and they just always take care of it. They call every year with a reminder that the furnace needs to be cleaned. I think that their price is an average of what it costs...

J&S Oil was a breath of fresh air when it came to getting our propane tank filled. Each of the other vendors I talked to wanted to know how much propane I would use in a year (don't really know since we recently moved here and are still making decisions about fuels to use for drying clothes or...

We appreciate Dead River's promptness and friendly drivers, but one of the main reasons we like this compasny is because our furnace kicked the bucket about 10 years ago in the middle of the winter. They financed a new furnace and installed it within days.

We have had nothing but good experiences with Fielding's Oil. Contrary to another review, I think that there is only 1 employee who manages the orders and the phone. She has always been polite, professioal and prompt to help me. When we order #2 oil from them, they always...and I mean always...

I ordered oil from CN Brown of Jay. After 5 days of no delivery and a phone call everyday. Their excuse was an icy driveway. I had the driveway professionally sanded twice in these days. I believe they were in an oil shortage and did not plan accordingly. After delivery I was happy enough. My...

We had a delivery scheduled and were all ready and at home. The delivery driver called but I did not get to the phone in time to answer it (4 rings). Was outside on the front porch trying to get his attention but he was not facing the house and could not see us as he was on his phone. So when...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement.

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.

You can expect a geothermal system to last for years. According to the Department of Energy, the underground infrastructure for the heat pumps lasts about 25 to 50 years, which includes the pipes buried in the soil. The actual heat pump itself has a life span of around 25 years.

Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.

A geothermal heat pump system will take about 10 years 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.
