This is the kind of small business, not Home Depot, you should go to get good parts. Both Tom and Elaine are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Incredibly nice people

Fantastic place to get those hard to find parts for any built in device. Elaine is so fun to chat with and went back in the storeroom multiple times trying to give me as many options as possible for a central vacuum fitting. She also pulled out instruction manuals and made sure I knew how everything connects. They have a good display but plenty more items in the back so just ask Elaine. Very friendly and helpful. They have their own parking lot off Taylor St which is a plus.

We came in thinking we would need to buy a new bathroom celling fan. We knew that it would cost $285 on Amazon. This place took the fan, did some tests and it turns out we only needed a $16 connector. We couldn't be happier.

We had been searching for a whole house fan for some time. Built-in Center LTE allowed us to see and listen to the whole house fan and even make adjustments to the speed setting to hear the different noise levels. The knowledge and support of the employees was great and the contractor they recommended did a great job at a significantly lower cost than other contractors we quoted. Great experience, highly recommend LTE.
