Always reliable!
John was our plumber. He is competent, considerate, and kind. In addition to making the needed repairs, he gave helpful tips. He arrived within a few days of my requesting the service. The cost was reasonable. I highly recommend Ray’s plumbing.
I am really glad to be working with Ray Heating. Jason did a great job and has a lot of expertise. Great company.
John did an excellent job servicing our boiler. He was very professional and cleaned up everything. I feel we are ready for the winter.
Easy to get service within a day or so (non-emergency). Personable phone reservation agent. Serviceman showed up exactly on time and knew his trade. Accomplished what was required, shared good information about my water system, was friendly and thorough. Provided billing information on the spot when job was completed and accepted a check or credit card.
