The customer said Rich replaced their old boiler and hot water tanks with a high-efficiency gas boiler and an indirect-fired water heater, including permits, and completed the job on budget and ahead of schedule.

The customer said Rich installed their boiler and hot water tank about five years earlier at a fair price, and when their hot water later stopped working he came the same day and made a simple fix without charging.
