The estimator for the new furnace and A/C unit was very helpful in product knowledge and follow-up.  I have been very happy with the unit.  It has cut my winter heating bills in half and given me a cool house in the summer.  They worked the installation around a death in the family, which was appreciated.  The owner, estimator and installers were all very nice people to work with.

After several referrals by friends, I chose Lyons Heating & Cooling to be my provider.  The consultation provided was thorough and all options were presented.  The installation was completed by excellent, knowledgeable technicians and the owner, Carl, was fabulous with his follow-up and training.  All rebates were given, all paperwork prepared and I had nothing to be concerned over.  Outstanding product, service and customer care.

I designed and general contracted my family home on rural acreage.  With only electricity as a power source in the location, and knowing that a heat pump was the way to go, I began researching, and decided on, geothermal.   Along the way, I learned of a few local companies that install geothermal systems.  I interviewed three companies and got bids from each.  It was clear to me that Carl Robins knew geothermal systems inside and out.  He spoke in a technical language that seemed foreign to me.  All I wanted to know was how efficient it would be, how it would heat in low temperature situations, how long it would last, and how much it would cost.

I’m glad I chose Lyons Heating & Cooling.  Carl knew that I wanted a real energy efficient home.  I let him know I was going to try to get an Energy Star rating.  Carl and his crew made a big effort to help make that happen.  After all the testing was completed, I did receive the award.  My system went into operation in late August of 2007.  So far, the performance and energy savings have exceeded expectations.

My previous family home had an air-to-air heat pump.  It was very economical.  However, when the outside temperature got down to 35, the system couldn’t quite keep up.  The further the outside temperature dropped, the further behind the system fell, and the lower the indoor temperature was.  Of course, there was always the option of switching over to the (very expensive) backup electric furnace.

In the new home, that problem is gone.  My family now enjoys a warm, comfortable home in the wintertime, no matter what the temperature is outside.  There are so many advantages to the geothermal heat pump.  I could go on and on.  Carl Robins and his staff at Lyons Heating & Cooling have fair pricing, the best equipment, and a knowledgeable, caring attitude about customer service.

I hired and supervised all the subcontractors for my home building project.  Looking back, I can honestly say I would probably re-hire less than half of the ones I used, and recommend even less than that.

Lyons Heating & Cooling is one outfit I would not only hire again, but recommend without hesitation.

Lyons Heating & Cooling installed our WaterFurnace in our new green home.  The performance of the furnace is outstanding and the customer service is exceptional.  We received a personal orientation to our new system and Lyons even provided us with all our energy credit forms completely filled out!  That saved us from trying to navigate our way through forms and rules.  We recommend Lyons Heating & Cooling for its excellent products coupled with above and beyond service.

It is just a few days before Christmas 2008.  It is 26 degrees outside and we are toasty warm in our home.  For the last ten days we have been having a severe winter storm with lots of cold temperatures, snow and ice.  Our WaterFurnace system works wonderfully.  Our home cruises along at an even 69 degrees during the day and 64 degrees at night just like we want it to.

Early this year, we replaced our oil furnace with a WaterFurnace system.  The first thing we noticed was that our house had a nice even temperature throughout the house, while previously we had warm and cool areas.  We used to set our thermostat to 72 degrees to be comfortable in the warm areas, now we set it at 69 degrees to be comfortable anywhere in the house.  The second thing we noticed was how quiet the system ran.  One of our complaints about our oil furnace was it was in a closet in the middle of the house and when it turned on and ran it made a lot of noise, it would disturb our sleep and we would have to turn the volume up on the TV.  When we put the Water Furnace in, we had it installed in our garage and ran duct work from it back to the middle of our house to tie into the original duct system.  Now we hardly notice any noise at all from the heating system.  The noise level is low in the garage when the system is running.

My wife and I are very concerned about doing our part to take care of the environment.  One of our big reasons for investing in a WaterFurnace system was to stop burning oil and use clean electricity.  We buy clean wind electricity from PGE for our home.  Another big factor of the WaterFurnace system is the energy efficiency, where it is drawing heat from the earth to use in heating our home.  I have not used the system for a whole year but I expect the cost of heating our home will have been significantly reduced. 

I should mention about using the system for air conditioning.  We lived in our house for a number of years with no air conditioning and we got along OK.  Last summer we used the air conditioning when the weather got hot and we really appreciated how well it worked.  Even though we were concerned about using electricity to run air conditioning when we did not really need to, we did it because it felt so good and it actually did not use very much electricity.  I have a 2,000 sq ft house that was built in 1958.  In recent years, I have insulated it well and put in new thermal pane windows. 

I love good equipment, computers, engineering and all that sort of stuff.  I installed a temperature monitoring system in the ground, and on the pipes carrying the geothermal water into and out of the WaterFurnace.  The monitoring system sends data to my computer where it is recorded.  I wanted to see how it all worked and how much heat was getting sucked out of the earth.  Tonight the circulating water temperature leaving the WaterFurnace, after it has had heat extracted, and going to the beginning of the underground pipe loop is 43˚F, the water travels 400 ft to the middle of the loop where its temperature is 45˚ and it goes another 400 ft to the end of the loop where its temperature is 46 degrees.  I put an additional sensor 25 ft beyond the furthest point the loop goes to, in order to record the ground temperature where it is not affected by the heat extraction of the geothermal loop system.  The temperature at this point is 51.8˚ tonight. 

My wife and I are very satisfied with our Water Furnace system.  We feel Carl did a great job designing and installing our system so our house is comfortable year round.
