Report
I had the pleasure of working with Raz at Academy Heating & Air in our basement at our home in Forest Lake. I was extremely pleased with his professionalism, timeliness, and affordability. He answered all my questions, did a great job and followed up with me to see if I had any questions. I would strongly recommend him for any HVAC work!

Academy Heating and Air replaced our old wood burning fireplace with a new energy efficient gas insert. Very professional company with attention to detail. The install went great and they made sure we were comfortable with its use before leaving. Would definitely recommend this company
