Questions
Do you cover all of Grifton?
Yes, ZIP 28530 included. The company confirms your street is in its territory on the first call.
How fast can someone come out?
That turns on the week and the weather; a July heat wave fills calendars across the county. If the house has no cooling and an older adult, someone sick or an infant lives there, write that in the request so the company can move you up if it has room.
Do I get a price first?
Yes. After finding the fault the technician quotes the repair, and the work waits for your OK. When you book, ask what the trip or diagnostic fee is.
