Beth N., Chelsea, ME

"Steve is a convert!  He glowingly talked about how much warmer the house is in the morning, how it retains heat overnite....So, from skeptic to believer…..We are VERY happy with the work. No problems or complaints and I appreciate the fact that you are checking in. Will keep track of wood/oil use next winter."

Phoebe C., Waterville, ME

"Bo, Thanks for your note. Nice to know you’re thinking of me. I am very satisfied with everything you did. My oil consumption is down from the previous year, but I have not yet figured exactly what the numbers are. I will let you know. No water in my basement during the rain these past couple of days. Hopefully that will hold up during a heavy downpour. Stay well and enjoy these warming temperatures."

Jennifer M., Hallowell, ME
