Honest and professional work! They've done a water heater replacement, AC repair, and furnace maintenance for us. Can't recommend them enough! Same great service on 9/10/26, they were able to get our shop AC up and running quickly! Bill was knowledgeable and through. Excellent job again.

They over charge, do not do a good job with their diagnoses, the one guy they kept sending had a condescending attitude. Whatever they did when they installed our very expensive ac unit lead to all sorts of issues they didn’t want to fix then it became a problem for them when we called another company that found the…

Zark Is my family’s Number one company that we turn to for our heating and cooling needs. No matter what they have always been there for us, even if it’s just a response to resolve a quick problem through Facebook messenger! We have used them in the past and will definitely be using them again in the future whenever an issue arises with our aging systems.

Awesome service, honest company! My A/C went out on July 5th. I called Zark and they quickly came out. The unit couldn't be repaired but they did their best to get it working until a replacement could be installed. The replacement day came and it was POURING rain.
