These guys worked quite hard in the heat to cut up a big old pine tree with a large stump/root area uprooted from a past storm. And then cut down 7other trees in the same area. They cleaned up any remaining debris and hauled off the big stuff. All at a reasonable price. I'll work with them again!

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.

For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. 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.
