The Fan broke off and ripped the heat exchanger up. ME Flow came our within a few hours of my call. The gave me estimates for replacing just the head exchanger, and 3 options for replacing the whole system. We chose to replace to whole system because the old system was Freon based and becoming obsolete. In addition the old system never heated the old house the whole way. ME Flow was the highest of three quotes but very close to one from anther company. The difference was $200.00. Because ME flow responded better to my request for service, and because there quote was far more detailed then the others I picked them and the American Standard heat exchanger with Electric assist. (Complete system). The said the installation would take about six hours. The showed up on time and completed on time. Very clean and very neat. When they started the installation the ME Flow technician said I should have had a small air return in the basement as well as the upstairs ones. He added it at no extra charge. The new system is extremely quite (I paid the extra for variable speed motors). It has worked flawlessly for two months now. I am very happy with ME Flow. A little on the high side for price, but the people are true professionals.

SAD, Anyway, when I pick up my car the door is partially open draining my battery. Not a good start. Once home I discover they did not even rotate my tires.

Gary was excellent to work with. He made the process of removing old oil from an underground, leaking oil tank easy. Everything was handled in a timely manner. I highly recommend Gary and the team at Certified Environmental Drilling.

As usual, Albemarle Heating & Air earn good marks for their service. Typical of all service techs that have serviced our heat pump, Scott called before arriving at the scheduled time, alerted us to a potential problem, offered solutions, provided clear explanations, and was very courteous. We...

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."

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts
You can expect a geothermal system to last for years. According to the Department of Energy, the underground infrastructure for the heat pumps lasts about 25 to 50 years, which includes the pipes buried in the soil. The actual heat pump itself has a life span of around 25 years.
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.
Leaks, poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and loop blockages are common problems requiring service.
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.
DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.
