Dread...let's talk a moment about DREAD! Like when you have no heat or car won't start or the fridge fails...here comes the DREAD!!! Today dread was present...as in no heat! However DREAD faded away when Bill said those magic words...'Covered under warranty'. Thank you Bill and Zark for being totally honest! A rare commodity!!!

Very hot day today. Central air unit had shut down. Called this morning, and they had it going by mid afternoon. Zark always comes to the rescue for our farmhouse.

Zark saved the day! 90+ degrees with a pregnant wife at home is not the time for the AC to go out, but Zark was amazing! Bill was very helpful not only in communicating his eta but also his explanations of issues. No pressure to upsell services. Quick diagnosis, quick fix. I’m a customer forever now. Thank you Bill and thank you Zark!

Always the best service! Knowledgeable, professional service. Have used them at our old home and now our new location. Easy to make appointments and their Service techs, especially Bill, explain everything. I would highly recommend using Zark for all your heating and cooling needs.
