Wards installed our heat pump when our home was built and did great job
Since then we have them perform the maintenance on our unit 2 times year. Cody, who came today was so very professional nice and knowledgeable, he showed us how our filters wete so dirty. He recommended changing filters every 2 months and this will keep your unit lasting a long time and save energy. We are very happy with Wards everyone talk to are are so nice. Mike C.

I've used Ward's bi-annual maintenance service for my home's HVAC for years, and they've kept it humming along. Professional techs, friendly, helpful when I ask questions, all around good. The few times my system's been down, they've fixed it in a timely manner. I only wish they would auto-renew my maintenance contract every year; not something I blame them for, just an added convenience that would be nice.
