Perfectly; in time & budget. Took care getting old heaters out and new in the attic. Cleaned up and left it better than he found it. Paid more than others but it was worth it for the piece of mind it was going to be done right.

The first couple of oil changes are free, so I haven't paid anything yet. The experience has been pretty good and I had the car down there twice since I got it. The first week that I bought it, I had to take it back down and got a protective coating put on. Both the times, I have taken the...

My experience with them was fantastic. They are excellent across the board. They were very, very good. It was very expensive but it was worth it. We got like a heat-on-demand-boiler heating system. It was the top of the line and the most energy efficient product. If we were going to do it,...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

It’s a better use of energy (and your money) NOT to run an ERV system all the time. Most experts recommend that you cycle your ERV system on and off throughout the year. However, the recommended advice could change based on your climate, the number of people in your home, the size and style of your home, and your heating and cooling system. Contact a local pro for more specific advice.

There are three main types of heat pumps. An air-source heat pump system is the most common and has two parts—an indoor air handler unit and an outdoor heat pump unit. A ductless heat pump system functions similarly to an air-source heat pump system but doesn’t need ductwork to distribute the air. A geothermal heat pump system pulls heat from the ground to help heat your home.

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.

Yes, including optimizing settings and suggesting upgrades if needed.

You need to service an HVAC system about twice per year, with a service including an inspection and basic maintenance. It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives).

Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. HVAC maintenance costs around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.
