Report
When we moved into our house, there was a faint buzzing from our gas heater, and I someone check it out. He said we'd need to get a new heater, and at the tune of ~10k while we had a million other projects, we deferred. Also the heat worked so it didn't seem too urgent. Well, after a couple years in COVID, the buzzing got way worse! I called Aarvaks thinking we'd be in the hole another 10k.
Long story short, they were extremely responsive and courteous, sent out someone super quick, and the guy identified that it was an easy fix that he was able to go to the Home Depot to get a part and complete the same day, all for around $300. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for their work and their integrity. Thank you Aarvaks!

I used Aarvaks to install a whole house air conditioner and a high efficiency furnace. The initial installs seemed OK, but later on the furnace began dripping water inside the unit causing extensive rust. Had to have a repair person come out and tighten up a gasket to fix. The A/C condenser stopped working and Aarvaks charged me $218 to diagnose and replace a blown fuse. Two days later a 2nd sister fuse blew. I decided to replace that one myself. I plan on using Atlas from now on.
