I had to call my HVAC company last week to have my furnace cleaned and prepared for winter. I wanted to make sure everything was ready before winter started. My furnace is beginning to get pretty old, and I know that it will soon need to be replaced. In order to keep the furnace working […]
It was his house, and if he wanted to watch, he would I had heard that one of the HVAC technicians in our new HVAC company had quite a temper. I couldn’t believe that any reputable company would tolerate the kind of behavior I had been reading about in their reviews. One customer said that […]
I’m not sure what the big deal was, but when the HVAC tech showed up to repair my air conditioner last week, he seemed to be in a huge rush. Every movement he made was jerky and hasty. It was like he was on some kind of time limit to get the work done. I […]
