The installation went very well. Jimmie or Robin would keep us up to date as to when exactly they would be there and how long it would take to install. My son and his family have been very happy with the AC last summer and the heat this winter. I would definitely recommend Jimmie Johnson Air...

Everytime i take my car to them they put in 1/2 quart too much of oil. I tell them every time that they did it last time yet they cannot seem to figure it out. I called the owner several times to talk to him about it and he never returned my call. Now I go to TireMax.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.

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

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 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.

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.
