Aug 02, 2020 Report
I have an old red diesel oil burner that heats my house. Somehow the combustion chamber had too much air going into it and the flame would not stay lit. Thank goodness my contractor is well connected in the Twain Harte area. I found Central Heat and Air in Twain Harte. Doug Doyle came over and fixed my unit. My family is now all warm and snuggly in the house. Thank you Doug at Central Heat and Air. You rock.!!!
