Tankless HotWater Emergency

Had an emergency, and called a half dozen providers for help. Belyea should have been my first and only call. Dispatch was a pleasure to talk to, and put me at ease. Technician showed up later that day, on-time, and with a courtesy call 30mins prior. Tech was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to troubleshoot, service, and teach me about the unit. They provided me with a brief diagnostic on some issues to keep an eye out for in the future. I’ve worked with a lot of technicians and trades over the years and the experience with Belyea Bros was second to none. They are now my go-to for anything HVAC.

New Central Air Conditioner Install - Thanks Belyea

I've been meaning to write this for weeks. Dealing with Belyea Bros was great. Bruce gave us great advice and information to help us make an informed decision on what to buy and where to place the new unit. An absolute pleasure to deal with. Berris and Dominic did the install. Absolute professionals all the way with their removal of our old system and the install of the new. We are very happy with their quick, kind, professional service and happy with the unit!
Thanks Belyea for your service.

Service of HVAC by Belyea Bros.

The best customer service experience I’ve ever had. Belyea Brothers installed our ductless system a couple of years ago. I noticed a problem with one of the outside drain lines dripping. Within minutes of calling them their service desk contacted me and sent two technicians to fix it within 24 hours. Fast, reliable, stand behind their work and installations. Highly recommend!

HWT tank install/removal and furnace clean

Straightforward gas HWT uninstall/install. Bought my own used tank. Matt B and Damien J made sure it was working, put the old one on the porch for me and cleaned up everything afterwards. Also cleaned/serviced the furnace and gave me a few self-maintenance tips along the way so I can avoid costs in the future.

Would recommend their services. Straightforward job, but trustworthy work.

Excellent work and follow up

Belyea Bros installed a new gas furnace in our North Toronto house last Spring, replacing our huge 90 year old cast iron (oil burning) boiler with a clean little Viessmann wall unit.
Andrew and Marco, the installers, were absolutely great - it was a pleasure to have them here. Their work is beautiful, even the Enbridge inspector was impressed.
And now, in November, we really appreciate our warm house and Belyea. We needed something checked today, Andrew and Marco were here within 30 minutes and took care of a minor problem. What a pleasure to deal with this company. We're very happy!

Water Heater replacement

The day after I contacted Belyea Bros. about my old leaky water heater they sent a specialist to assess my needs. Three business days later we (small business downtown Toronto) had our replacement unit delivered and installed. The fellows that delivered and installed the tank were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to call Belyea Bros. again.

AC repair diagnosis

Julio arrived on time and was thorough yet very efficient. Ironically it turns out I needed an electrician to fix the problem, but I was alerted to this possibility before the appointment. It is now fixed but I will definitely call Belyea again for any repairs and maintenance in the future.

Very expensive maintenance

Beware!! Check around. I had routine maintenance done on my Daikin Heat Pump today. One of the blowers needed cleaning. I was told this was not included and a complicated job. The technician called to get a quote of $355. After the blower cleaning only took about 20 minutes, I called the company to question the price. I was told the technician should not be penalized for being efficient!!! I have no complaints at this point about the work done. However, I called another company and the blower cleaning is included in their maintenance price which is the same.

Thank you for your feedback Liz, and we apologize if you feel we have not delivered good value and thorough work. When our technician, Anthony performed maintenance on your multi-head ductless system he found the blower wheel in one unit completely plugged. This is usually a sign of a significant period of time with no maintenance and means there is little to no airflow through the unit. When an experienced technician undertakes a cleaning like this it may appear simple, but is often more involved that it may seem. A blower wheel “deep clean” involves dismantling the interior head, completely removing the blower wheel, cleaning it thoroughly to remove all the buildup of dirt, then reinstalling the blower wheel and retesting the operation of the unit.A “deep clean” of a blower wheel is definitely not part of routine maintenance, and, in a typical residential setting, is usually only required a couple of times over the 15 year life expectancy of most ductless air conditioner heads depending on buildup.

As always, our clients are quoted cleaning and repair costs and must give approval for the work before we proceed.

Issue resolved and we hope for the long term.
Our concern is what will happen after 10 years of use?
Request as long term maintenance agreement.
Hopefully Belyea will agree. Will wait and see.

We know this blistering heat makes everyone a little grumpy, but Mr. Van der Griend seems to want to throw the baby out with the bath water. In August 2017, almost two years after his attic air conditioning system was installed, a call came in that the unit had shut off. Our technician attended the house on the same day, determined the “wet switch”, a device designed to shut an air conditioner off to prevent flooding, had been tripped by water slowly backing up the drain line and dripping into the secondary drain pan in the attic. The wet switch was dried and our technician decided that making an adjustment to the drain line would likely improve the condensate flow out of the attic. This adjustment was performed at no charge to the client. Then in the last week of June 2018, in the midst of the highest humidity levels in almost fifty years, Mr. Van der Griendcalled in to say the unit had shut off. Our technician found that the condensation was backing up the drain line and triggering the “wet switch”. The difference versus the previous year, however, was that the condensate appeared to be draining slowly at the exact point where the drain exited the eaves. Our tech disconnected the line at that point, blew through it and flow was increased leading us to believe that an air bubble caused by something like a spiders web or bits of mineralized debris had slowed the flow of condensate. Once whatever the obstruction was had been cleared, the drain was able to cope with the incredibly high humidity levels we were experiencing through the long weekend. In both instances, the system performed as it was designed to prevent damage, our service team responded quickly,and Mr. Van der Griend’s air conditioning was working within a matter of hours.

Air conditioning

I was looking for an attic system. I made an appointment which David Frost cancelled for personal reasons. I was fine with that. However, he came and advised me of my options. This was to be followed up by a second person a week later. That person attended and advised my home was suitable for such a system. That was over a month ago. I called and emailed but never heard back. This was a huge waste of time

Thank you for your feedback and please accept our apologies for how long it has taken to get back to you with information. You have an unusual application of what is traditionally commercial equipment in a residential setting, and a rare circumstance where a closer inspection of the attic space leads us to believe the removal of the existing system might actually take as long as the installation of a new system, coupled with the logistical complication of possibly needing immediate exterior repairs. Regrettably, the heat-wave slowed down our ability to get a plan together in a timely fashion.

We do suggest that clients with unique system or systems that have known access issues allow for long lead times when planning replacements. For complicated air conditioning system replacements we suggest clients begin the process in early March, and for the equivalent types of heating issues we suggest beginning the process in late August.

All the manufacturers we work with have parts centers or distributors within the GTA meaning we have access to a local support network. We offer only reliable premium equipment.

HOT WATER TANKS
Water heater rentals are a great solution for many homeowners who have a short-to-medium time frame in their house, own a tenanted property, are looking for a peace-of-mind solution to address their domestic hot water needs, or simply wish to have a clear idea of their monthly house budget over the long term without the worry of heater repairs.

Many consumers are confused by which company they actually rent their water heater from, thinking that because the charge appears on their gas bill that they rent from “gas-company”. In fact, most customers in Toronto rent their heaters from Centrica PLC, an international energy services company based in the United Kingdom, which operates in Canada under the brand name Direct Energy™. Although they bill on the gas bill, they are not, in any way, affiliated with your gas utility.

Belyea Bros. has a wide range of hot water tank solutions for your family’s needs. We have an excellent rental program providing a comparable rate and great reliable products. We provide a fix rate increase, unlike the other guys who may raise your billing at anytime.

TANKLESS HOT WATER
Tankless hot water heaters are common in Europe and Japan. They can supply an endless supply of hot water, with greater energy savings than conventional tanks. They are, however, limited in the amount of hot water that can be produced at one time and the upfront costs are higher.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Belyea Bros. Electrical specializes in helping home and business owners in the older neighborhoods of Toronto. We provide electrical service, repair and installation whether it’s diagnosing and fixing a broken outlet, or re-wiring your whole home, Belyea Bros. Electrical is here to help.
