I’ve been with TJ’s for a few years now. Brandon J. Took care of putting in a brand new furnace today and went above and beyond with replacing fuse with simple switch next to the furnace, as well as total clean up and great sense of humor through it all!!

We've used TJ's for many years for mostly plumbing needs. Mainly for basement issues such as snaking the drain when it backs up from tree roots. It had been a couple years since our furnace was cleaned and serviced. This year we decided to call them to perform that work. The technician who just came out, Erick C, was ABSOLUTELY outstanding. He was one of the most patient and honest people who has ever performed work on our home. Very professional and kind. It is huge relief to have someone we trust service our furnace. We will most certainly continue to call TJ's in the future for our plumbing / HVAC needs. Everyone from their office staff to their technicians are stellar. Couldn't be happier right now. The $98 coupon was the cherry on top. Thank you all very, VERY much!!
