Report
Unfortunately my heat pump expired this winter. Fortunately, I called CWJ to replace it. They came out with snow on the ground and got the job done in one day. I could not have been happier with their staff. The salesman, office staff and most of all the crew were great to work with. I would highly recommend CWJ Heating and Air!

I called early one morning and they were able to get to my house the same day. Daniel was great and took care of everything we needed. The price is really good for what you get. Would definitely recommend for any HVAC services.

I could write a book about everything that went wrong when they came to fix my heater. We had been using them fir 20 and I was shocked by the work done, the shoddy and mysterious billing and how rudely the owner was when addressing these problems. Never again!
