Often local service is not available & it costs more to ship the big screen TV, etc., than it is worth, so it ends up in a landfill. Most of our products have local service & a 3 year or longer parts & labor warranty. Many have 5 or 10 year warranties. The brands we sell can last 30, 40 or 50 years. Buying the right equipment once saves you money & helps the environment.

Most of its glass faces south with no glass on the north or west sides. For many months, all of the building's heat comes from this south facing glass. The store uses less energy than many smaller houses.
