I just received my annual furnace maintenance from Elkhorn Plumbing and Heating (FKA Dr. Fix It.) Kevin spent close to an hour, checking and cleaning every part of my furnace! He also changed the filter which I purchased last week. I was very impressed with how thorough he was! Thank you, Elkhorn and thank you, Kevin!

Chad C.

Zakee was polite and thorough.
