Great to work with.Carletta T. ★★★★★ First class in every way!S Arlene C. ★★★★★ We contacted Ward Plumbing and Air for an estimate of the purchase and installation of a mini split system. Never did we realize that after approving the quote, we would have received such prompt courteous and professional service. From the beginning contact by Jeremy, to the finish product by the installers (Jesse, Brian, Cole, and George), the process moved along smoothly and efficiently, and each member of the crew demostrated exemplary skills and knowledge. As an example, Cole and Jesse took extra time in explaining the downstairs installation and use. The next day, George and Brian returned to finish the upstairs installation and were equally helpful. Everything was cleaned up afterwards and we were left with an excellent installation of our Mitsubishi mini splits. THANK YOU WARD PH&A for exceeding customer expectations!
