I have used Walters and Hemming exclusively for the 10 years I've owned this house with a hot water boiler and have been pleased with the service. They do a good job, they respond promptly even if not an emergency and their cost is competitive with other HVAC providers in the area. I recommend them without hesitation for plumbing and heating work.

Report
They did a perfect job, but it turned out to be more expensive than I had been quoted. Also, it took 5-6 months to get the work done. He was able to squeeze it in before he took a month off to go elk hunting. Service: Heating system repair
