Report
Active heating did a fantastic job replacing our furnace. Not only did we find them to be professional, efficient and knowledgeable but we felt Cory did a fantastic job with getting everything together to include the financing. Dell also took the time to go over questions, gave maintenance advice and tips. We will definately call Active Heating back and recommend them. Outstanding team!
