Nizier did a great job servicing my system. He was friendly and took the time to answer all my questions about the system and he thoroughly tested all the components to make sure that they were working as they were designed to do. The appointment was a very positive customer experience and I would recommend CTBS for anybody who's looking for this type of installation or service.

Honestly, one of the BEST Service calls iCan ever remember. The tech, Bruce (iThink) was incredibly knowledgable, helpful & informative. I felt like iWas in good hands, and he really went the extra mile to prove it. We had flooding in the basement, due to tremendous rain as well as a shot sump pump. He replaced the pump, explaining each step, and then helped with placement of fans & dehumidifiers, as well as filter cleaning for max efficiency. He was not rushed or harried, and explained in understandable terms. Friendly, trustworthy & genuine Nice Guy! We need people like this, and hope/trust he is a reflection on the company he works with. Bravo & Thanks!
