Do you need backup heat with geothermal?

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!
