We are looking to install a radiant heating system for our front steps and sidewalk.
In addition, we and several neighbors would like to speak to you about geothermal heating for our homes.

Residential HVAC systems are of many types. Furnaces have been popular with generations of American home owners. Condensing furnaces are highly regarded for their energy efficiency. Furnaces can be powered by gas, propane or electricity. Make sure that your furnaces are serviced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency. Filter must be cleaned at least every few months, and the blower must be kept clean. Oil furnaces must be serviced at least annually, while gas furnaces can be serviced every once in 5 years. Boilers can be powered either by gas or propane, and work by heating water which is circulated through convectors or radiators throughout the home. Modern boilers cut down on the number of toxic emissions released into the environment.
Residential heat pumps work efficiently to perform both heating and cooling functions in your home. These can be highly efficient if they are properly installed and regularly maintained. For instance, leakage from the ducts near the indoor cabinet of the heat pump can lead to huge energy wastage. Also, make sure that your refrigerant is charged correctly to avoid energy wastage. Your heating and air conditioning contractor may not include refrigerant adjustment in his annual maintenance services. Ask for these procedures to make sure that your residential heat pump operates at maximum efficiency. Radiant floor heating systems work by delivering heat to the floors of the home, and then enabling heat to radiate or spread out into the home. These are more expensive, but they offer a well heated home that is unparalleled in comfort.
