Report
I requested a bid for installation of a vent hood and make up air for my business. Carl came out right away and said he would have a bid Friday or Monday, then the next Tuesday, and then.... After a few texts to him, he stopped returning any messages. If he was too busy or did not want the job he should have said that. I thought this was a reputable company based on the other reviews. Poor customer service!!

Report
Had an opportunity to intern with a seasoned HVAC/R service tech, and can honestly say that the company is more like a family than a 9 to 5 grind. Everyone took valuable time to welcome me into the company and allowed me to see how they went about tackling daily customer concerns. If I had my druthers, this would be my first choice to seek employment after completing college.
