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

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

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.

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.

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.

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.
