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

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.

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.

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.

There are three main types of heat pumps. An air-source heat pump system is the most common and has two parts—an indoor air handler unit and an outdoor heat pump unit. A ductless heat pump system functions similarly to an air-source heat pump system but doesn’t need ductwork to distribute the air. A geothermal heat pump system pulls heat from the ground to help heat your home.
