They were able to come out early the day after I called. Cables were replaced and the tech noticed the door wasn't shutting as smoothly as it could, and made some adjustments to that. He also greased/oiled the tracks to make it quieter. I was very pleased with the service.

Well. But they tried to upsell me (new springs or something). However, after the tune-up (i.e., oiling the chain), the garage has been working fine, no more problems. Hence, it's clear to me the upsell was unnecessary.

If we went somewhere else who specializes in oil changes maybe we could get a better price. When I came in today they took off one of my wheels and realized I need to get a wheel changed as well. Whenever I go in there I can wait for a while and they are very accommodating.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.

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.

Most maintenance checks take 2-5 hours, though extensive repairs may take longer.

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.

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.
