Jeb and Richard Harris are so easy to work with and show you EVERYTHING you will be paying for. If you have any questions, they are prompt to answer and go into detail. Put the order in for a Rudd unit on 9/15 and they had their guys installed it the very next day. Thank you!

We now have heat! We have had several people come out and "attempt" to fix our Trane system, charging over 1k, still not fixed. A serviceman was here within a couple of hours of initial call, he had the system fixed (gas line cleaned, and connected a loose wire) shortly after he got here!
Brad was courteous and professional, as was each staff person I spoke with. Will be getting their yearly maintenance plan.

Report
I called Carwile to repair my air conditioning. It had stopped working. The first technician diagnosed the problem as being a bad transformer. He replaced it and it still didn't fix the problem. After several hours of "working" on it ( he spent a lot of time on the phone) he said he couldn't fix it and he possibly wired the transformer wrong. The next day another Carwile technician came to fix it.
After several hours of working on it he told me that the first guy wired the transformer wrong. He said because the transformer was wired wrong it damaged another part and since my unit is old they can
