Mid-Atlantic Geothermal & Energy Management

Very sweet guy, although there was a HUGEEE hole left in the wall the first time I used him. I took this as "things happen when moving" and didn't think twice about. And since you cannot beat the price I used them a second time just recently. BIG MISTAKE! A very important box of items came up missing that was packed with all the rest of the boxes. When I told him about it he said me he would reimburse me. After WEEKS of getting the runaround, he finally just disappeared. :( do not use this company!

All items were delivered safely.

it when great.....wished i could had given him a extra tip....but i did tell my complex about him if they ever needed a mover.

Wonderful service. Very punctual. Even provided and delivered moving boxes for free! Nothing was damaged and very affordable. Came recommended by a friend and I will always recommend them as well!

Him and his crew showed up on time and was ready to work immediately started picking up boxes and the furniture moving things out to the truck he gave great guidance to his crew on where and what to move exactly when and how to put it on the truck he padded and wrapped all my furniture with care and concern I was very pleased

These movers are professional gracious and pay attention to detail very well as I asked them specifically which items I need moved and placed in certain areas they show great patience as I asked him to move things more than once while I decided how about 1 to Stage certain areas in the bedroom I was unsure of using a small company because I wanted high-quality work because I have high in furniture but these guys were careful they shrink wrap and protected every piece and I have valuable possessions we had no damages another great thing I enjoyed about this company they offered a flat rate and my move to over 15 hours as they had to use two trucks to complete my move I have a 25 foot hundred square foot house and guest house in the back I was sure my move was going to be over $5,000 as quoted by bigger chain companies but these guys price compared in price match their competitors and beat them by $2,000 I highly recommend them to anyone as I refer them to a few of my co-workers and family members because I was very impressed by their work these are hard-working young man dynomite

Excellent! This was the most timely move we've ever had. They where professional. Protected and wrapped all furniture pieces, and the price was reasonable. We will surely use them again.

Moving is never an easy task, but when you have the professionalism like I had it was a breeze. Lonnie and his team arrived early and ready to go. They handled all my items with such great care. I have a glass table, and they took extra time to wrap it with extra padding and it arrived to it's destination in perfect condition.

They would point out if a box needed extra tape or if a box was damaged. The quoted price was reasonable and very affordable considering other moving companies that I had called in the area.

I highly recommend this company.

They were on time. They knew exactly what they were doing and got everything done very fast. They were kind and courteous and I would definitely recommend them.

In July 2013, we got an estimate to add geothermal heating/air conditioning to our rather complicated-ly-laid-out house in Harrisburg.
It was heated with oil-fired steam furnace system and had central AC added about 10 years ago. Appropriate duct work is in place  for cooling.
Doug (from MidAtlantic GeoThermal) measured all the rooms to be sure the unit would be the right size, but he did not pay any particular attention to the fact that bathrooms and my office have no AC ductwork in place.   He also said that the unit would just replace the air handler in the attic. Doug came back at least twice more to discuss plans for the duct work. Up until that second visit, he insisted:  ?It?ll be fine. The unit will be the right size."
We have a very windy and steep driveway. Doug said he would bring his ?drill guy? up to check it out. I think they came the first time when I was not home (which is fine). When we needed more conversation about the drilling, he had to bring the drill guy back again.   Each of those visits took several days to more than a week to arrange.
In the permitting process (that didn?t start until mid-JANUARY 2014) Middle Paxton Township said we have to use Food Grade antifreeze in the system, something that was never even mentioned as an option or possible requirement.  I understand that Lancaster County requires the same thing. So that, too, should not have been a surprise.
 
There was NO forward motion on the  project unless we called/emailed/poked /prodded. We didn?t get a contract to sign until sometime in December 2013. So while we were ready to go in September, we waited until February to get going on the project.
A couple of other useful bits of information:
1.  ?We just drill three holes straight down? actually means ?We?ll mess up a spot about 4 FEET by 30 FEET PLUS the distance to hook up to the house.?

• 2.  Check your county/township codes to see if food grade antifreeze is required and prepare to pay for it.

The system wasn?t finally installed until March of 2014, at the end of a heating season.  We had let the oil in the tank run down to nothing, which meant we were pretty much without heat while they worked.
The man who came to do the installation was knowledgeable and his helper very anxious to be sure everything was as we wanted it.  They covered  everything where they?d be carrying stuff.
Upon installation, when the original air handler was removed, there wasn't enough room for the unit so another 4x4' space in my attic was taken up and other pipes ran to complete the job)
The antifreeze originally delivered was the wrong kind.  Doug brought it to the house and left it on the porch.  Then a key part sent with the unit wasn?t the right one and had to be replaced. Then a pipe was the wrong size, and that had to be replaced.  Part of those issues were discovered on a Friday (when we really were out of oil) and no body seemed to think that
anything could be handled over the weekend.
In the end, Doug suggested we live thru a winter and see if we really did need to install additional ducting anywhere and suggested that adding one for my office would probably just be ?a couple hundred dollars.?
During the summer, the AC worked well (VERY QUIET!) However, there was about a 4 degree difference between the temperatures in two rooms on opposite ends of the system.
Colder temps came. The unit couldn't really keep up and 4 degrees between sorta-ok-warmth and none a big problem. My office without additional space heaters was about 60-62 degrees.
Ultimately we hired another company to install the additional duct work required and balance the system. The duct work was MUCH more complicated than "a couple hundred dollars."  That has been a big help.
However, this is my advice : unless your house is well insulated and tight, geothermal will not be enough to keep you warm in the winter in central PA.

Overall, it went well. Their cost, warranty and the interaction with the owner made me decide to go with them. He was friendly. He's very open and honest. He's willing to answer questions.

MidAtlantic Geothermal of York PA installed a Geothermal System at my home. During the first significant Heat Wave (5/24/13), the Air Conditioning System did not function properly. MidAtlantic was not able to solve the problem and brought the Well Driller in to look at water flow. The Well Driller determined that the Whole House Water Filter was restricting the water flow. This was the same Whole House Water Filter that MidAtlantic told us was OK to use (In fact said, "We have customers who have Whole House Filters on their Systems that work fine").
The Well Driller removed the Whole House Water Filter and the system seemed to work fine until it was noticed that 1 zone continually short cycled and another zone continually had the fan running. I contracted with another reputable Geothermal Company who diagnosed the root cause of these problems and discovered other MidAtlantic system problems that they also corrected. This cost me $955 to correct unresolved issues that MidAtlantic was unable to solve on a system that they engineered and installed.
Four months later on 9/23/13 I received an Invoice for $233.47 from the Well Driller for their services to diagnose and remove the Whole House Filter System. MidAtlantic refused to pay the Well Driller and told them to "Bill the Home Owner".
After speaking with the Well Driller (Eichelbergers Inc.) they agreed to withdrawal the Invoice and not charge us for the work that MidAtlantic had them do. We can't say enough about the Kindness and Customer Service of Eichelbergers!!

I absolutely would not recommend this company for anything Geothermal. After their installation was complete I hired another Geothermal company to straighten out the poor design and mechanical install. There were many additional add ons during the project, cost over runs, very poor communication, workmanship that did not meet expectations, did not clean up after themselves, installed the Geo Cover upside down with one screw etc. The worse Contractor experience that we have ever had.

I found this company did a fantastic job installing our geothermal unit and coordinating the well drilling.  They made sure that, other than the yard, there was no damage to an exsiting tree, sidewalk or flower bed.  They were very clean an orderly when they worked and made little to no mess even though it was what I considered a dirty job.  When I had an issue, and I had very few, it was addressed right away.  I did feel that, at times, I was in the dark about the process. Questions were not always answered in a manor in which a novice would understand.  BUT, overall, it was a great experience.

We didn’t use their services. We would have used them except that our contractor doesn’t use them. We were putting an addition on the house; so we had to go with the contractor.

We replaced an existing furnace with a new high efficiency gas furnace. Mid-Atlantic Geothermal specializes in installation of high effiency heating and air systems and they were excellent to work with from start to finish. Our furnace was old and had stopped working, we called Mid-Atlantic Geothermal and they provided us with excelent information and replaced the furnace for us quickly. The installers were very nice and we felt comfortable with them in our home. We were very happy when they preformed a 30 point quallity check list when the reviewed the furnace installation with us.
