Thanks to Bella for matching another quote, and providing additional re-assurance with a return guarantee, so i was confident to order without risk. The Goodman 3 Ton package I received works flawless and the inspector gave an instant permit approval upon installation.
Bella was truly one of the best customer support people I have ever worked with. Knowledgeable and professional, she had all the answers and followed up with an email re-capping all the info so I had it. Really grateful for her service.
I would like to call out the exceptional customer service provided by Kim, who guided my order throughout the entire process. I had several questions about my delivery ETA and she took the extra step to eliminate weeks in the shipping time as she happened to find a unit that was in stock in the warehouse.
Kim, the Customer Service Lead, went above and beyond! She was able to address all of my needs, set proper expectations, sent timely follow-ups. Thank you for your amazing work, Kim!
