Another HVAC provider who came out next day and checked the furnace filter. That filter was filthy and consequently replaced. Additionally the furnace was inspected and total cost for visit, inspection and replacement of furnace filter was $155. We were told by this HVAC technician that the high performance filter ($18 each) that my father was using was preventing air flow to the furnace. Consequently the furnace was overheating and turning itself off. He suggested that we use a cheaper and less dense filters in the future. My husband I felt that Comfort Masters was completely out of line suggesting a complete HVAC replacement. We think they were negligent for not determining that the filter needed to be changed in the first place. Furthermore, their quote was excessively high and we are suspect of their taking advantage of the unusually frigid temperature (-8 below during this last service call) and taking advantage of senior citizens to boot.

We have had previous more positive experience with this company when we installed an air conditioning unit. They gave the low bid. When the AC unit started up the line froze and they under estimated the circulation ... they remedied that problem without additional charges and certainly no and quot;dispatch fee.and quot; When comparing scheduled, routine servicing for both heat and A/C, their rates were hire than other local competitors.

So, when we had the car serviced at the Subaru dealership for oil change, brake inspection, etc., I asked the service manager to have the mechanic check out the installation of the remote starter. When I picked the car up the service manager and I sat in the car and reviewed all of the functions of the Subaru key fob and the remore starter key fob. Everything worked fine per Subaru's design. The service manager was very complimentary of the installation done by Fine Details. He said it was the most professional job he's ever seen done by an "aftermarket" installer. Keep in mind, the Subaru dealership installs remote starters too - for 3 times Fine Details' price. Recently the remote starter quit working, I talked to Ken at Fine Details and set up a service appointment. They took care of the problem in a timely fashion at no charge to me as it was still under warranty. I recommend Fine Details as a service provider that you can trust!

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Williams Bay, WI
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.
