They're really nice and professional. They're very service-oriented. Once I had to wait about 45 minutes to get my oil changed so they took $10 off the cost just because I had to wait so long. I like them a lot. They seemed to last really well.

I like them and have used them in the past as well. They've done excellent work and are very detailed in their checks for the heating and A/C units. I always go with them and ask questions, which they are very good about explaining everything to me.

Checked the electric plug, then that all the elements were getting power, working his way methodically through the heating system of the dryer, eliminating as he went. Great top down approach. Found the monitor and replaced. All is now working.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.

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.

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.

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

It’s a better use of energy (and your money) NOT to run an ERV system all the time. Most experts recommend that you cycle your ERV system on and off throughout the year. However, the recommended advice could change based on your climate, the number of people in your home, the size and style of your home, and your heating and cooling system. Contact a local pro for more specific advice.
