I was expecting the worse! Mark stayed for an hour-and-a-half. He disassembled the clock, sitting down on the landing of the steps going up to my second floor. We had a delightful conversation, while he oiled the "inside" part of the clock, that he sat on his knees. He checked every moving part. Then, he put it all back together. I could not believe what he charged for all of this work. I told him The Clock Shop of Richmond told me to oil the clock once a year. Mark said that was overkill, that I should do it every three years and explained why. Mark's skill is a lost art. I hope I outlive Mark!

The issue was the downstairs system wouldn't heat below 45 degrees. Scheduling took about 2 days. A technician came out came to find a "wiring" problem and was able to produce warm air at about 50 degree outside temperature before he left. I asked about how to ensure the system would heat below 45 degrees and he said he was able to adjust the thermostat to test that out - and he confirmed he did that and it worked. During the next 3-5 days the outside temperature remained above 45 degrees about 95% of the time and my indoor temperature was fine. After that period, the weather got colder and remained below 45 degrees almost all the time. At that point it was obvious that I still had a problem as my house was not heating regardless of which mode I selected. I called Clifton back and they scheduled a return visit free of charge 2 days later. The same tech came out for the second visit (on a Friday) and said the problem now was due to a setting on the thermostat that he should have made. That night when the temperature dropped again the system still wasn't heating. I called Clifton and left a message. I called again on Monday and was told the next available time was Wednesday. After reminding them that they were already here twice, couldn't fix the problem and my house was below 60 degrees interior temp, they said they might be able to get me in on Tuesday, but couldn't commit. To make matters worse I have two sick kids and only one more attempt at repairing the system before it impacts our Christmas plans at our house. No flexibility from Clifton! My two main issues with this company are: 1. their inability to fix a specific problem the first or second time; and 2. their inflexibility to schedule a priority repair given I had NO heat and they came out twice already and were unable to fix it. Apparently incompetent techs and very poor customer service - don't waste your time with Clifton like I did!

I had not had the clock oiled in over twenty years. I bought it from The Clock Shop of Richmond in 1985. I had it serviced twice by The Clock Shop of Richmond: in 1986 and 1987. All their employee did was to open the side door at the top of the clock and oil a few places that he could reach....

Thanks so much for taking the time to look into Air Nerds as your last stop in searching for the right HVAC contractor. The owner, James Martin is a 3rd generation HVAC nerd. His father would take him on jobs when he was a kid and tear the work down - making James redo it if it was incorrect. Even in crawl spaces, where no one would see the work. Air Nerds believes in putting ourselves in the shoes of the homeowner who pays the bills. The owner's father taught him the value of honesty and hard work over high-pressure sales and rip-offs. When you choose Air Nerds you can rest assured that our highly skilled team of certified HVAC nerds will enter your home carrying tools and the same principles of business.
"I called James on Monday, he came out, diagnosed and removed the gas valve from my 21 year old furnace. While diagnosing he explained how and why everything worked. He offered to loan me a couple of space heaters for the night. I declined as I had my own. He came back Tuesday with a new valve and I have heat again. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He takes pride in his work. If I have any HVAC issues in the future Air Nerds will be the first place I call."

"Ripped off. I was hopeful of having a good experience, since a friend referred me to this company, but that didn't happen. My A/C fan was constantly running, but not cooling. They came out and said it needed a capacitor, and that it would be $405. I agreed, thinking it was an expensive part and he needed a good amount of time to do the job. It took 45 minutes tops (he also cleaned the screen on the sides and checked the filter "for free".). He didn't leave me with a receipt, so I asked for one, and he emailed it right away. It was NOT itemized, and so there was no way to know how much they charged/hr., or how much the part was. I looked up the part online, and guess what...about $10. So BUYER BEWARE. When I called the office for information about hourly costs and the part cost, she said what another reviewer reported upon his call: that there is a flat fee, etc. Oh, and there's a $15 charge for their gas, since prices are so high, and to keep their "fleet mobile and ready to serve." The only positive part is that my AC is working, and the technician was very nice, but I WILL NOT BE USING THIS COMPANY AGAIN."

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Ettrick, VA
To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
You save money on heating oil in a few ways:
Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.
Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
