Well, we were coming back from Detroit and the heat went out. Then it came on. Then it switched spontaneously to A/C and when we tried to change the temp it did not seem to respond. We brought the vehicle into Hand H and they made several recommendations. They all sounded reasonable, so we...

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

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

The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps.

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.

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.

Yes, technicians check refrigerant levels, loop performance, and system calibration for peak efficiency.
