"Freier's provided an extensive estimate and took a great deal of time explaining how the system works, what to expect with the install, what the estimated cost savings and payback period would be.  They came out several times to discuss which method of coil installation would be best for our situation (vertical or horizontal) and they explained who would be here and when.
When the big day arrived, Ryan, who was the point person for the project, came out to meet us when the drillers showed up.During the project, he was very responsive to my concerns and also with an issue that came up in which the drillers couldn't frill as deep as they needed to (due to the depth of our well/water table).  Rather than forging ahead as originally planned and risk contaminating our drinking water, Freiers worked with the drillers to drill an additional 2 holes to compensate for the loss of area due to the shallower holes. 
Once the coils were installed, Freiers did a fantastic job getting the geo pump and electrical connections installed inside the house with the installation of an off-peak meter and connections from way across the house....they needed to do extensive re-routing of the eletrical for this but they made it work and were so pleasant!  They always showed up on time and worked diligently for several days until all was completed.
Once the system was ready to go, Freiers spent the needed time with us to explain how to use the controls and to understand what all the blinking lights meant and when to call in case of a problem.  About 6 months after the system was installed, something went awry with the geo pump.  I called and they came out immediately, determined that there was a bad circuit board somewhere, and replaced it free of charge within the same day.  The geo sustem works great, has saved us money, and I know that we are always 1 phone call away from Freier's if problems arise!  Excellent company.

"Diagnosed the issue as electrical. Will need to get electrician in to see where the problem is between the fuse box and the dishwasher."

"I was contacted by a Tech at the assigned time and had to run to the store for a cable I needed. When I called back, I had a different Tech, but he was able to continue right where I had left off. There was no need to explain anything again. Awesome."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, standard dimmer switches should never be used to control a ceiling fan motor. They’re designed for lighting, not motors, and they can cause humming, overheating, or permanent damage. You should only use switches that are specifically labeled for fan speed control.

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.

If you’re interested in exploring other avenues to completely upgrade your electrical panel, it’s also possible to add a sub-panel, which is a smaller panel that connects to what you currently have in place. This way, you can add additional circuits without having to swap out your main panel.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

Yes, hot tubs can use a significant amount of electricity, primarily to keep the water heated. A typical hot tub uses between 1,500 and 6,000 watts, and the pump can add another 1,500 watts. This usage can result in a monthly cost of around $20 to $30. The exact amount of electricity consumed depends on several factors, including the hot tub's age, size, heater voltage (120V vs. 240V), usage habits, and thermostat setting. Newer, energy-efficient models generally use less power than older ones. To reduce electricity costs, consider investing in an energy-efficient model, using a quality insulated cover with a thermal blanket, and keeping the filters clean.
