We've had a great experience with Cornel's Plumbing Heating and Air. Our A/C unit stopped working at the worst time possible during the Summer and our technician Wayne came and assessed the problem, fixed the issue on the spot and had it working in no time. My family and I are very grateful for Cornel's Plumbing and great technicians like Wayne.
