Do you need backup heat with geothermal?

• <div><p>If a geothermal heat pump is installed correctly, then you shouldn’t have to worry about having a backup heat source such as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/furnace-and-heating-basics.htm">furnace</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: Is a geothermal heat pump worth it?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Do services include eco-friendly options?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: Do services include refrigerant checks?

• <div><p>Yes, technicians check refrigerant levels, loop performance, and system calibration for peak efficiency.</p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a misting system?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

A leaking water heater, especially on a Friday, is not good. I thought about getting a new unit from a big box store and trying to install it myself, but it just didn't seem to be a good time to learn how to sweat copper pipes. My wife called around for plumber estimates, and I'll just say...

My window installer was the best , he worked nonstop and did an excellent job.. His name is Gail or Gale ( don't know how it's spelled). The roofers did a good job, but took too many breaks for smoking and just standing around. Heat tape and wrap on the storage barn still needs to be done. ...

"PIC really offers the sort of trades service we used ro find in Wisconsin communities. Scott explained different options with newer technologies before letting me decide what was right for us and our pocket book. We've had him do both AC repair work and installation and we're planning a garage heating system this fall as well. Fast, knowledgeable, and respectful of our circumstances. I highly recommend PIC for any HVAC need, large or small. I've talked to many others who have had the same experience with them as well!"
