Report
The technician refused to wear a mask when I politely explained due to concerns about my work with high-risk patients. I know it is a weird time, but I am in my own home and need to feel comfortable and every single other company that we have had to our home for the last year and a half have always come with a mask and asked our preference. I am mostly just annoyed with myself for not canceling the appointment after that.

Report
Air conditioning wasn't working properly. Called them, they sent someone out within 2 hours. The technician figured out what was working, quickly fixed it. Explained to me in easily understandable language what went wrong, what he needed to do, and then he did it. Cost was reasonable and the issue was resolved. This is now my go-to HVAC company. PS to owners: whoever you sent to my house (I didn't catch his name unfortunately) is a keeper!

Report
Called to replace a hot water heater. They installed and literally anyone without experience could have done better. The overflow line was soldered crooked putting stress on the pipe, and the brand new heater cover was burned through by the soldering work. I called and sent pictures and was ignored. Terrible work. Terrible customer service.
