Our original call to Hep was a year ago when our air conditioner wasn't cooling properly. It was also on a weekend when it is difficult to get a repairman to even talk with. We called Hep, and they made an appointment with us immediately. They showed up as scheduled and had our problem fixed very quickly. The most recent visit was last week when they came for a routine yearly check up. They called ahead and set up the appointment, then they showed up as scheduled. Very good service, and I would highly recommend them to others!
