This company was assigned to me by American Home Shield, and I got a bad feeling when I met them. The total cost for several repairs and a water heater replacement was partially covered by AHS and my portion of it was to be $840. Kevin Mackey told me I could avoid extra fees if I paid the $840...

It went very well. He was here when he stated he would be and they did a good job. I'm about to call him to come this year to clean our furnace again. (Actually I might have him give me an estimate on a propane gas furnace due to the price we now pay for oil)

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...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.

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.

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