Prompt. Competent. Worked to hold the costs down (heat pump replacements are never cheap). He and his crew were quick to respond and worked hard to get the new unit up and running as quickly as possible. He also worked to keep the costs down - something as a consumer I really appreciated.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.

Regular inspections, loop flushing, and checking heat exchangers help extend system lifespan.
