According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), geothermal systems are the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available today. Simply put, a geothermal system moves the heat from the earth into the building in the winter, and pulls the heat from the building and discharges it into the ground in the summer and/or is used to heat water. An underground series of pipe loops serve as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer. We will show you how to tap the earth's free underground energy treasure. Call Today!

Pro Sky Services, Inc. is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"2/3/2021 - Glad to have found Pro Sky Wow, what a great experience I just had with Pro Sky! Our heat pump went out during an impending snowstorm. Two companies on Thumbtack were quick to respond. Pro Sky got the nod because they could dispatch a technician immediately. It mattered when our house was getting so cold so fast. It also helped that Frank explained clearly his companyâ s approach in his initial response. As soon as I confirmed the appointment with Frank, I received a text giving an ETA for technician William to come by. Oh, another thing I like about Pro Sky is they use the Housecall Pro platform to send me appointment info, estimates, and receipts. All were super clear, and the platform was so convenient. Back to William, he arrived promptly wearing a mask and minding his distance. He listened patiently to the long history of issues weâ ve had with our Carrier Infinity thermostat before setting out to run the diagnostic tests on our heat pump. The tests confirmed the system was in good shape, the problem was with the thermostat. William took the time to explain our options for a thermostat replacement and addressed all of our questions and concerns without trying to sell us any particular product (or service for that matter). That is how you earn trust and respect from your potential (and repeated) customers. We would like to rewire our full system to use a third-party thermostat, and we will request William for the job. Thanks Pro Sky! 8/18/2021 - A happy customer is a repeat customer Last week was my fourth service call to Pro Sky: (1) system rewired & thermostat replacement, (2) water heater replacement, (3) HVAC Spring services, and (4) A/C start capacitor replacement. Our A/C stopped blowing cold air on a near-100-degree day last week. Who you gonna call? Of course, I called Pro Sky. Frank reassured me he would always have availability for a loyal customer. A different technician this time, the process was the same. I received a text with a link to Housecallproâ s job description, arrival window, and estimate ($45 for a diagnosis visit). Santo arrived on time, made a quick diagnose (bad capacitor), provided a reasonable price quote for a replacement which we agreed to. He replaced the dual capacitor, did a health check of our A/C system and was done in about 30 minutes. Super efficient! The service fee was waived in our final bill. Our A/C has been running fine ever since. Thanks again, Pro Sky!"

"Job was to install EV charger in garage and rewire garage so garage doors and garage lights can be independently operated from inside the house and install several sockets in the house and garage. Honest, pleasant, capable, good problem solvers, competent electricians (passed county inspection for panel work and charger in a breeze. Added extra work at reasonable cost.

I decided to replace the unit, Nasser went above and beyond to find a unit delivery service but there was nothing available over the weekend so this gentleman went for unit pick up himself and finished the installation within a day from my initial call.

Consider replacing your gravity furnace when it's over 30 years old, when you experience frequent system failures, or when your heating bills continue rising despite maintenance. Many older gravity systems operate at substantially lower efficiency rates compared to modern alternatives, often 50% to 60% versus the 80% to 98% efficiency of contemporary furnaces.
Replacement also makes sense when your existing system shows signs of deterioration that could affect safety or when professional inspection reveals significant issues.
Most gravity furnace replacements require between six and 12 hours of professional labor, spanning one to two working days, depending on scheduling and complexity. Basic installations with minimal complications may be completed in a single day, while projects requiring extensive ductwork modifications or asbestos remediation will require additional time.
The timeline includes removal of the old system, preparation of the installation area, placement and connection of the new furnace, and thorough testing.
Watch for warning signs, including inconsistent heating throughout your home, unusual noises during operation, visible corrosion or damage to the heat exchanger, and steadily increasing energy consumption. If your furnace requires frequent repairs or if you notice a yellow or flickering pilot light instead of a steady blue flame, these may indicate serious issues.
Age remains a primary consideration—systems over 30 years old warrant replacement rather than continued repair.
Well-maintained gravity furnaces that pass professional safety inspections can continue operating, but they inherently carry more risk factors than modern systems. Potential concerns include less efficient combustion that may produce carbon monoxide, deteriorating components that could create fire hazards, and the possible presence of asbestos in insulation materials.
Modern furnaces incorporate numerous safety improvements, including automatic shutdown features, sealed combustion chambers, and electronic ignition systems that eliminate standing pilot lights.
