He tries to fix it before he sells you one, and he measures the ducts before he quotes. Kevin Wendt services, repairs and replaces heating and AC equipment himself — checking the whole system for air leaks and measuring airflow against the manufacturer's specification rather than quoting a box off a price list.
This is the sequence described in Wendt Heat & Air's own service description — system first, equipment second.
Ducts checked for air leaks and correct installation, not just the unit that stopped working.
Measured against the manufacturer's specification, so the number in the quote comes from your house.
Repairing the situation the same day where that is possible, rather than defaulting to replacement.
If a replacement is recommended, he helps you pick the system that suits the house.
Heating equipment serviced, repaired or replaced — his own words, in that order.

Complete heat and AC systems installed — the job Jakki B. describes in her review.
Windows, thermal barriers and attic venting — the parts of the house that decide what equipment you need.

“Kevin is simply fantastic. After coming out for free to inspect our broken AC Condenser he tried VERY HARD to fix it first before we realized it was beyond repair.”
“Awesome service! Our AC died in the middle of the afternoon on a day where the high temperature in Martinez was 104.”
“I couldn't be happier with my new Heat & AC system that Kevin and his partner installed recently.”
