    The local Fire Chief arrived today to perform an inspection on the tank and installation and mentioned, unprompted, "Yes, Alvin Hollis does great work."

    "We use Alvin Hollis for all our heating and ac needs and highly recommend them."
    They installed it in one day and removed all the old equipment. This new unit works great. The installer did a great job and made sure everything was working properly and explained the controls for me.
