Do you need backup heat with geothermal?

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.</p></div>

How much should an HVAC service call be?

They were on time for the estimates and the installations. I was told what they would do and they did it. Cleaned up after themselves. This is the second house they installed a new heating/AC unit for me. I've used them twice and will use them again.

Charlie came out and looked at our heater and could easily have said we just need a new one because ours is pretty old. Instead, he took the time to figure out the problem and help us decide the best option for us. Charlie was honest and helpful. We would definitely recommend him!

Went above and beyond what I expected. Performed the water heater service and did a visual inspection of the whole house plumbing system. Made some very good suggestions for improving and optimizing my system. Would hire him again, if needed.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.

Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.

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.

While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.

Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.
