We had a new HVAC system installed in the home we purchased 5.5 years ago, but no one was able to find the issues we were having until “Local Roots” came to do our routine bi-annual service. Unfortunately, the ductwork was installed incorrectly by the former company. Dave identified the issue, and Jordan returned in…
