What an amazing company! Kraig is an extremely honest owner. His employees follow in his foot steps. Not only are they knowledgeable but educational as well. The techs explain all aspects from installation to performance of the units. If you are considering replacing or just having a service call, I would highly recommend Premier.

Amazing work! I have used Premier for many years. They pay attention to detail and actually care about the people dealing with the situation. They also won’t try to sell you something if you don’t need it.

I originally had someone else come out and look at my unit, and while they were nice and gave me a high quote, I felt like it was wrong. So I called Premier Heating for a second opinion and even though the quote was higher than the other business, I felt more confident that they knew what they were doing. They were kind and patient in explaining what was wrong and the steps to correct them. The guys who came out were amazing, they spent almost 10 hours in 100 degree weather and my dog barking at them. Any additional issues I had after they came out and fixed. I feel confident that they fixed the original problem, especially with my toddler in the house. The only thing I would have changed, is putting something down on the carpet where they worked. The original company I used would put down plastic, so not to get dirt or water on the carpet while taking out the furnace, but that is something I could have done also if I thought of it. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
