Doug volunteered to hold keys if necessary. You may want to check with him
first since we are bumping up the service visit to this week.
Doug Caron #407 C: 224-595-6625.
All-Temp is on file with First Properties. As Jim mentioned, they were
being highly unresponsive and in the interest of getting this taken care of,
we decided to use Sun Ray. You may still go with All-Temp if you wish,
however, I do not know if they will honor the group rate at this point. The
contact person there is Sean.
As far as the furnace filters go, I bought a case from an online retailer.
I will dig up the name when I get a chance but they offer many varieties
including allergen filters and pet odor filters with arm&hammer.
