Our complete oil furnace replacement process was informative, unpressured, totally honest and extremely beneficial. All options were clearly identified and realistically evaluated, considering the home owner's needs and means. The quality of the installation, workmanship and product quality was superlative. The net benefit is a state-of-the-art solution, expertly installed that meets and exceeds the challenges of energy conservation and the home owner's comfort. After 2 months of operation, heating and cooling, the Trane heat pump performed efficiently and effortlessly. The quality and technology

We just had Atel Air in to install on On Demain hot water tank, and we are very happy with their work. Right from the intial quote they were very professional, the installers we also great and took good care to keep the place clean. They were all very friendly, and removed our old tank as well. They even surprised us with a gift basket after the work was done. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for heating and air conditioning. Thanks so much,
