Home Fire Inspection Checklist Posted on July 27, 2016 by

Katie and Donovan were two kids from Northern Illinois with their entire lives in front of them.  Katie was a sweet 7th grader known for her smiles and positive outlook on life. Donovan was a 16 yr old athlete with a budding football career. Unfortunately Donavan never played his senior year and Katie’s smile never brightened the 8th grade class rooms. Both, along with their 3 other family members were tragically taken by a house fire. The fire was reported by a neighbor but it was too late for firefighters to save them. Why do we tell this story? Because it’s stories like this that remind us the IMPORTANCE of Home Fire Inspections.  It reminds us that life is fragile and steps need to be taken to protect the life we have.

The salesman, owner, and technicians were all very professional and polite. They got the job done in a timely manner, and made every effort to be as neat and clean as possible. I couldn't have asked for better service.
The customer service is phenomenal. We had a unique situation, and Coy worked diligently to find a solution. He always called me first, rather than requiring me to chase him down for the answer. He answered questions thoroughly and went above and beyond the call of duty. Very, very happy customer.

The technicians (Curtis and Jeff) arrived as scheduled, had the installation diagrams as discussed with Larry during the sales presentation and immediately began working on the planned installation. These gents came prepared with proper tooling, equipment and most impressive was a strong desire to satisfy the customer. The install was timely, they ensured their quality of work was satisfactory and cleaned up their work areas after the system functionality was verified. Great technicians!
