“ARS/Rescue Rooter sent an experienced, friendly staff member (Matt) to my home for an AC tune-up. During the service, he identified and showed me that my single-pole contactor was severely corroded. He had the part and replaced it on the spot, then gave me a few maintenance tips for keeping the system in good condition. This is my third year using ARS, and they've continued to shine in professional service. Thanks!” – James N.
