Report
Alex and Tonio from Zenner and Ritter installed a new gas hot water tank for me today. They arrived on time. They were friendly and did their work in a very professional matter. They fully explained the operation of the new hot water tank. They left the work area in spotless condition. I highly recommend Zenner and Ritter for their excellent service.

Report
We've used Zenner and Ritter for years for service on our furnace and air conditioner and have always been very pleased with everything they've done. When it came time to replace the unitsm, we didn't hesitate to have them do that as well. In addition to the furnace and a/c, we also replaced out hot water tank with a tankless system and had a water powered back-up sump pump installed to boot. Everything was done in 2 days and works great.
All the installers were very friendly and professional, worked quickly and cleaned everything up after they were done. I'm extremely pleased with both the service they provided and the price! I HIGHLY recommend them for all your heating and plumbing needs.
