APS replaced all of my copper pipes in my crawlspace with pex-a. It was not a pleasant job, but Brandon persevered and made sure it was done right. Highly recommend APS and both Brandon and Rod!

Rod’s level of knowledge and his level of care were extraordinary. He was able to make the changes needed to our HVAC system and also gave us great recommendations to help us with a different issue we were having. Completely trust him and his recommendations. He is a man with high level of integrity and respect. I know he runs his company the same way. Would highly recommend him and his services.
