They are always prompt and professional. They don't try to sell me something I don't need. As a woman, I have found other oil change places are often pushing you to buy a new air filter, windshield wipers, etc. I have never experienced that sort of thing here. I rarely wait long, and they do...

If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement.

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

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

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.
