Now when we say something like \u2018igniter,\u2019 they can visualize it and move things along faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andy came with more than 14 years of experience in the field. He reviewed all the inner workings of standard (and not-so-standard) household furnaces with the CSRs, encouraging them to ask questions along the way. He also covered common malfunctions and proper furnace maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Lammers Heating &amp; Air Conditioning has worked through APHW\u2019s claim process with their own customers many times before, and Andy was quick to express appreciation for the company. \u201cI feel like they\u2019re above par, because they train their employees, the claim process is streamlined, and because their billing and payments are prompt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was also encouraged by the attentiveness of the classes he taught. \u201cThey asked a lot of good questions that I wasn\u2019t even expecting,\u201d Andy said. \u201cThey were very responsive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andy wanted to thank APHW for asking him to visit and educate their CSRs. \u201cThank you for the opportunity,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m glad I could help them work more easily with contractors and smooth out the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Did you like this story?
