North American Technician Excellence (NATE) Certified
North American Technician Excellence is a certification that HVAC technicians can acquire once they achieve proper training, testing, and knowledge of their trade. Very similar to ASSE certified auto mechanics, NATE certification gives you added comfort and peace of mind that the technician is performing the heating and air conditioning installations, inspections, and repairs properly and to your standards.
National Comfort Institute Contractor of the Year 2012
In 2012, we were given The Contractor of the Year award by the National Comfort Institute. This award recognizes home service companies for extraordinary achievement in performance-based contracting, workmanship, and dedication to customer service.
Lead-Safe Certified Firm
In order to become lead-safe certified, you must register and complete the training in a workshop. You must then pass the certification exam and then finally you can receive your certification. Our team is proud to say that we’re lead-safe for the benefit and safety of ourselves and our customers.
