I use Meineke for all my oil changes as the wait is not as long as it is in most places and the price is good. I wouldn't suggest the car wash there as it is not worth the extra money. They don't vacuum the car and the wash is sub par at best. I still had bugs on my windshield. The oil change is...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

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.

Regular inspections, loop flushing, and checking heat exchangers help extend system lifespan.

Service costs range from $200 to $1,500, depending on maintenance needs, system age, and labor.

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.
