The electrician called before coming and asked to start early. That worked out fine. A surge blew out the fuse in the blower and there was no heat. The fuse was replaced and I had heat within the hour. I have hired them before and I would hire them again.

Noticed I had no hot water. Called Bauer and they were out in a few days. Did a great job and left the place cleaner than before they came. I haven't had any problems with the water heater since.

Called Father and Son b/c the first company forgot all about me. They came out the next day, took one look at it and said I was just out of freon. They fixed the leak, put 3 pounds of freon in, and I was good to go with heat and a/c all in less than an hour. It's been working great since...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Yes, geothermal heat pumps are worth the money. You can save about 70% on heating costs in the winter and around 50% on cooling costs in the summer with a geothermal heat pump compared to a traditional HVAC system. Over time, your savings on monthly utilities will pay for the cost of the geothermal heat pump installation. If you have an incredibly small yard, however, you may not have enough space for this type of system.

Your HVAC manufacturer will give you instructions on how often you should service your system. Have your unit professionally serviced at least once a year when in doubt.

Heat pump systems are different because they provide heating and cooling solutions for your home. In this case, you should have it serviced at least twice a year.

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

Service costs range from $200 to $1,500, depending on maintenance needs, system age, and labor.

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.
