K&S sent a technician the same day with no extra charge and the technician stayed until the central heating worked again. He replaced the igniter and the circuit board. It was pricey (approx. $550) but he also could have charged more, considering a family cannot live without heat in MN. The...

Jim was very prompt and reasonably priced. It would have taken me much longer to fix the door myself and I didn't feel like risking a trip to the ER (these springs have very high tension). I think it only took Jim about an hour plus he oiled the garage door so that it sounds much quieter. I was...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Leaks, poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and loop blockages are common problems requiring service.

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.
