I can't say enough wonderful things about this company. They put in a new furnace and worked until 11:30pm to get me operating after one of the worst weeks of my life. Experienced horrific pipe bursts, flooding, and personal trauma. These people are the best at what they do, very professional and experienced and gave me an exemplary price for both a furnace and A/C unit. And to top it off.....after all they had done to fix us and replace us and get us back operating....this morning they sent me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen!!!!!!!! Now that....is classy! They will never know how much that self-less act of kindness made me feel after the week I'd been through. This place is phenomenal. I would not only recommend them.....I'd want to marry them into my family! Thank you ComfortWorks and Waterworks for the outstanding job you did for us at 190. You have a fan....for life!
