They are good. I was impressed with how good the service was. I like that when I go in for a simple oil change, they check other things as well and alert me if I am going to need further service in the future. Their prices are fair.

Dropped off our Mercury. Let the manager, Tony, know what needed attention (several things, a blown fuse, service with oil change, fix flat on spare tire, inspection sticker). Tony called when the SUV was ready. Pay him and picked it up.

There had been heavy rain & flooding in the city. Our sewer backed up and ruined most items in the basement. We contacted them and they installed a new water heater in a few days. We had contacted another plumbing company, but they were unable to replace the water heater for several weeks.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

HVAC systems usually last between 10 and 30 years, with most having a lifespan of around 20 years. Factors that impact a unit’s life expectancy include which brand you choose, how often you use it, and how well you maintain it. To make sure yours lasts as long as possible, make sure to keep it clean and schedule an annual service with an HVAC technician.

NATE-certified technicians may charge slightly higher service fees compared to non-certified technicians. This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system. When looking for a local HVAC company to hire, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications.

Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.

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.

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