What would change it

Where the assistant found the answer on another site and not on this one.

  • Borter says it offers up-front pricing; the Mel-O-Air pages read describe affordable or fairly priced service but do not explicitly promise upfront pricing.

    https://borterheating.com/about-us/
  • Borter says installation proposals detail prices and options; I did not find that level of quote detail stated on Mel-O-Air's installation information.

    https://borterheating.com/installation-services/
  • Mel-O-Air's contact page offers a form and phone contact but does not show an appointment calendar or direct online booking flow.
