I was very will please they did a great jobPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a new AC unit installed and we are very happy with the results. The technicians were knowledgeable and courteous. Installation was quicker than expected too. The old unit that was installed by another company 7 years ago never cooled as it should have and was failing due to poor installation. The Rheem unit installed by Reitz is functioning great! We are comfortable and sleeping well. Thank you Ivan, Josh and team Reitz!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ritz made it so easy to switch to them.

The fuel truck came a couple days after I ordered the oil tank refilled, which is normal for any company. The employee knocked on the side door, he introduced himself and began filling our fuel oil tank. No issues, no damage to plants and I received the invoice.

They have helped me out in so many different ways when a lot of other companies wouldn't. Anytime I need anything they are quick to respond and couldn't be happier with the service. I am in the business of service myself, and this company certainly gets 5 stars with the way they have treated me and my family. Zach M
