Works fine and heats evenly. Only giving 3 stars because cleanup could have been more thorough, but overall solid service from the Jimmy HVAC technicians.
Sarah Jenkins –
We had the Kepler furnace installed last month just as the weather turned. The installation team was professional, clean, and finished in a few hours. Noticeably quieter than our old unit.
