After a recent cleaning of my 20-year old furnace, it was unclear how much longer that furnace would last. There were some issues that would need replacing soon, so I decided it was time for a new furnace. I went out for 3 quotes - one of them was my annual service provider who I've been with for many years. The 3rd quote was from Core Temp Heating & Air.
Richard came over to the house and gave me some options. From first meeting, even before I got the quote, I was pretty sure that I would buy the furnace from him. He's a very genuine person and that came across plain as day. When it comes to a furnace or anything that generates sparks, fire, or heat, I don't want "cheap" and I want it done properly! I knew I would get that with Richard. He's the owner, salesman, and installer, so his reputation is on the line. He does not subcontract installation and he has one full-time person (Eric) helping him. I will gladly support that kind of small business with personal service like Core Temp any day of the week over big companies that subcontract their work and you get a different person every time you talk to them.
It was a pleasure to have both of them here and this is the kind of work that I like. The install took about 4 hours (unfinished basement) and I'm very pleased with the furnace and, most importantly, the quality of the work. I know that when it comes time for the annual service next year, it will be a familiar face at the door. I would highly recommend Core Temp to anybody.
