Outstanding service! We had a unique problem when our furnace hose was accidentally attached to our bathroom vent after residing our home. It turns out that this particular vent had two hoses dangling in the wall, one for the furnace and one for the bathroom vent. David figured out what was happening and removed the outside vent cover and reached into the area and located the loose bathroom hose and connected it to the outside vent.
His ability to solve this problem saved us considerable money. Also, a special thanks to Will and Chris for their efforts in solving this situation. We have used Thrasher Services for years. They are great to work with and do outstanding work and their rates are reasonable.
