He's very nice and good at what he does. He would have received 5 stars if he would have come back and pick up the old water heater and the box, that the new one came in.

They are very prompt. We have used them for years to service our heating and air conditioning. Even the owner of the company has come out when he's been needed. They are always here when they say they will be and they always call when they're on the way.

The costs seemed out of line, for example for an A coil repair, heat pump, and copper it was $7500. We decided to get a second opinion. The second opinion was $3500 less, as was their inspection fee.

"Insulation guys were great but the windows are horrible. They let cold air in worse than our old windows. We called them and they finally came out and put a little strip of Insulation on them and they still let in cold air and whistle when the wind blows. We have called and left messages and no calls back. I wouldn't recommend Rolox windows to anyone. Paid around 1000$ per window and still cold air comes in. Never again."
