"I do not hesitate to call Hawks for any heating and plumbing service. Hawks installed two high efficiency heat pump / furnace systems in our house two years ago. After planning, the work was completed within one day, all old equipment hauled away, and both areas left spotless. Both systems are providing excellent heating and cooling without the inefficiency and noise of the old systems.. We have had no reason to call Hawks back except to do annual service. I recently called Hawks to troubleshoot a blockage in our septic system. Within the hour, Scott had arrived, found the blockage, and cleared the system. Much appreciated! Thanks to Shelly and Scott!
