Trying to Keep Our Cool!
July 27, 2018
We knew we would have to replace the old, inadequate heat pump when we bought this house, and of course it went out during a heat wave. I had used Ponder Service at a previous home, and was pleased with their expertise and service. This time, Mike recommended the Carrier with variable speed, and it is doing a great job of cooling our whole house. I would recommend Carrier and Ponder Service very highly.
