Had Zach from Zark come out to do the annual furnace check. Great experience. I asked if he wouldn't mind checking the water line that goes into the humidifier. I was concerned that water had stopped going through because of calcification. Zach said it was working just fine. Another great experience with Zark!!

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.
