I am writing to tell you about the tech that just serviced our heater for the fall. His name was Chris and his Tech # was 4165. I wanted to tell you what a great person he is! He was friendly, kind, and hard working! Even my 9 month old daughter thought he was great! He was great at telling me the things to watch for and even offered ideas of what we should have done next for our heater. He did a wonderful job!
