Jim, our technician, was prompt and great at communicating. He found a gas leak (😲) in our system and helped us call NW natural to solve the issue. At the end of his conplimentary maintenance, he verbally reported out his findings as well as emailed us his recommendations with price quotes. Thank you so much Jim!

ROB stopped by today to give me an estimate on a new heating/air conditioning system He answered all of my questions using terminology that I could understand. He asked what I would like to have in a new heating/cooling system. And then gave me several options from which to choose. He carefully explained the difference between the various heating and cooling.devices’ efficiencies. Given his explanations
, I am much better able to make a decision on the equipment I ultimately choose.

Response from the owner:Hi Claudia, Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review!
