Hello Candace. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with Bens work. He found a tricky intermittent problem with the circuit board on my Carrier furnace. Hes thorough, meticulous, and goes out of his way to make sure that the job is done correctly. Bootsma gets all of my A/C and furnace work. And I recommend you guys to anyone who asks about finding a reputable HVAC company. Tim was the first person to figure out my A/C problem years ago and I see Ben is following in his footsteps. Take care.

Professional, Thorough, Knowledgeable, Fair, Polite and Friendly are the words that come to mind when dealing with Ben and his Bootsma team. Took the time to answer my questions in plain language so I understood what the problem was and how it was to be fixed. A "Bench Mark" for other service providers in my opinion...they will have, and continue to have my business.
