Gas Fireplace Cleaning

We called in to have a routine gas fireplace clean - Joe came out and was fantastic! He was very knowledgable, professional and personable. He gave us a lot of helpful information, and did a thorough job in cleaning everything. I would highly recommend calling them and ask for Joe!

Extremely bad experience for our fireplace repair

BOB, a fireplace contractor, recommended MARK to fix the fireplace in our condo.
When somebody called me I asked if this was MARK, he responded "yes", so he came to our place. After almost 2 hours this person could not fix the fireplace. At the end, his name was not MARK, but DWAYNE, so he impersonated MARK.
I contacted SCOTT, the owner, to complain. He was very rude and did not acknowledge Dwayne did something wrong. I asked him about the charges on the invoice and he told me the $94 Service Call is "just to ring the bell at your house" and does not include cleaning the fireplace.
So we had someone sitting down for 105 minutes trying to figure out what is wrong with the fireplace, we paid $307 (tax included) and the fireplace still does not work.
I will never call this Company again or recommend their services at all.

Thank you Marissa and Luigi for your review. In over thirty-five years, we find that most problems are related to communication. In this circumstance, there is a language barrier which makes clear/concise communication difficult. We would like to clarify some points that are not noted in your review.
On September 29, 2017 at 12:31 PM, MARISSA called Gas Fix and spoke with our administrator, Victoria. There was no mention from Marissa that this was a referral from Bob or Mark. Neither person was mentioned. She booked a service call with Gas Fix to have the fireplace serviced on October 2, 2017 with an arrival time between 12 and 2 PM. Victoria advised Marissa, in detail, on costs. She advised her that it was $94 to dispatch our technician plus labour at $96 per hour. We cannot quote on parts as we don’t know what is required, if anything, though our technicians do carry over 300+ of the most common parts on their vehicle.
To say our technician was impersonating Mark is false. If true, why would he give you a business card with his name on it? Our understanding was that Mark was the person who referred you to Gas Fix. Again, upon booking the call on September 29, Marissa made no mention of Bob OR Mark to our administration staff.
We identified the issue with your Continental fireplace - which Marissa misidentified as a Majestic - as a venting issue and issued a Union Gas infraction notice indicating the fireplace and/or piping is unsafe and the gas supply to the unit was shut off. If we could have had access to the roof, our technician could have provided additional information in regards to the ventilation issue your gas fireplace was having.
When we advise customers of an infraction issue, there are two responses. The customer is appreciative that we advised on an unsafe condition & took steps to correct it. The second response is frustration and that gets directed towards our staff. Your frustration is reflected in your review.
As the former accountant for the six condo buildings and clubhouse at Bishops Gate, I would recommend that when you have any issue with your condominium unit, you should contact the Property Manager or Management Office to find out if they can recommend one of their preferred vendors.
Every customer is important to us and we regret your decision not to call Gas Fix in the future. We wish the best to you and your family. ~ Jason Lavoie, Office Manager ~

Quick and friendly service

I moved into a new place which had a gas fireplace. I never had one before and wasn't sure what kind of shape it was in, so I called Gas Fix to come inspect it and get it ready for use. They were able to come the same day which was great. The technician who showed up was friendly and thorough. He inspected the fireplace, and cleaned out years of dust and junk that had been sitting there. He got the pilot light going, made sure it was working fine, and walked me through turning it on myself to ensure I knew how to do it. He also provided some great tips on maintenance and use. I appreciated his attention to detail particularly when cleaning up after the job was done.

Thank you for contacting Gas Fix to service your gas fireplace. As we specialize in the repair and maintenance of gas fireplaces, we provide a service that is hard for other contractors to match. First, we keep the work space neat and clean with the blankets that we put down. Our TSSA licensed technicians will vacuum out the fireplace and blow out the burners and pilot assembly with a small air compressor to remove dust, debris and blockages. We check all electrical components as required and detail the information on the back of the invoice on our Inspection Report. Standards of a clean & check include cleaning the glass, checking the gasket and fan, and checking the unit on start-up. On any fireplace that our technicians service, they will always check the safety on the gas valve, do a draft test on the ventilation and a carbon monoxide test. At Gas Fix, our experience is the difference. Should you have any issues in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us! ~ Jason ~

Gas Fireplace

I called this company a second time and asked for Joe Renwick (Licensed Gas Filter & Service Technician) because I has such outstanding service from him the first time. He is thorough, professional and is very knowledgeable. I am so glad to have found a great company that employs honest licensed technicians, who really know their business. I would never call any other company or have anyone but Joe Renwick service my gas fireplace.

Thank you Jody for contacting Gas Fix and having Joe service your Instaflame gas fireplace. Many contractors will light the pilot and clean the glass and call that a safe fireplace. Our TSSA licensed technicians provide a more thorough, professional service. Aside from a proper detailed cleaning, our technicians always check the safety on the gas valve, do a draft test on the ventilation and a carbon monoxide test. Should you have any issues in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can usually arrange a service call within 24 to 72 hours if not the same day if you call us early enough. ~ Jason ~

Heater Repair (x4); New Heater Install

I Recommend Gas Fix 100% for Pool Heater Service and Install.

They breathed life into my aging Jandy II four times over the years. Heater was installed when we bought the house; got over 15 years life from it with the help of Gas Fix (I'm told you should expect 7-8 years out of heater these days). It finally failed with a major water leak and was un-repairable.

I shopped around and settled on a Raypak. Gas Fix pricing for the heater was competitive and their installation costs were reasonable. [Remember gas heater installation and service is heavily regulated by TSSA. All work must be done by registered fitters]

I called Wednesday to book the install. They were on site Friday at 8:30 promptly. Heater was installed, tested and started without fuss or issue. We took care of the paperwork and they were gone by 10:30.

Stellar job, guys!

Thank you Stephen for your review and for choosing Gas Fix to service your pool heaters. We first started going there back in 2010 to service the Laars Lite heater. As noted, we checked out that unit on four occasions with a major repair to the unit in 2015 when it required a new pilot assembly and thermostat. Fortunately, you got 15 years from that heater. We also appreciate that you chose Gas Fix to supply and install the new Raypak heater. As we provide warranty services and are a TSSA licensed contractor, we follow the gas code and manufacturer's specification providing a competitive price in the process. Some of the other organizations out there do not provide the service we provide. Not only does Gas Fix provide the gas function of the install but we also handle the plumbing aspect and can transfer the electrical as well when required. Should you have any issues in the future with any other gas appliances such as a water heater, furnace or fireplace, please do not hesitate to contact us. ~ Jason ~

Pool Heater instal

Excellent work from the very beginning. They handled every detail including the hookups and showed up on time and finished the work in less than a half day. Cleanup was fine and I would certainly recommend them to anyone having a pool heater put in. In Fall 2017 they're coming to check over our gas fireplace. I'll write another review then

Thank you for contacting Gas Fix to supply and install your new Raypak pool heater. As we provide warranty services for the manufacturer, we ensure that installations are done as per manufacturer's installation instructions and as per the gas code. That is why we make the check valve and bonding a standard part of our installations. We look forward to hearing from you in the fall to service the gas fireplace. ~ Jason ~

Pool Heater Repair

Our heater was rarely used since we purchased our house several years ago because it would return an error every now and then when we tried to use it. Decided to get the heater looked at since we were preparing to sell our house.

A quick call to Gasfix and Scott was there to diagnose the issue a few days later. Great communication and quick service. Scott was in and out within 30 min. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your review and for contacting Gas Fix to service your Raypak pool heater. We find that when a homeowner is selling their house, it's a smart idea to have appliances checked out as it usually becomes a condition of sale to have, for example, the pool heater or gas fireplace operating properly. Our administrators can usually schedule a service call within 24 to 72 hours as we have done. As we try to be a different contractor from the competition, our technicians, like Scott, are prepared. That is why we carry over 300+ of the most common parts on the service vehicle. When a part is required, like the temperature sensor you required, we can complete the service call on the same day. Thank you again, Winston, for choosing Gas Fix. If you ever require our service for issues at the new house, please do not hesitate to contact us. ~ Jason ~

Pool heater repair

I am so glad I called Gas Fix! Our pool heater has been working intermittently all summer, and it's been driving us crazy. Our pool company kept sending a technician who could not figure it out. In total frustration I contacted Gas Fix. They came the same day, diagnosed the problem within 10 minutes, had the part in the van and fixed it! It's working great, and I am beyond grateful to Scott who was very professional and communicated exactly what was going on.

Thank you for your review and for contacting Gas Fix to service your Starite Max-E-Therm pool heater. Our technicians are specifically trained to service gas pool heaters and gas fireplaces. Scott has an understanding on these products that is unmatched by any other technicians in the industry. We try our best to be efficient and that includes scheduling service calls in two hour blocks. If you catch us early enough, we can schedule a service call the same day as we've done. We are also prepared in the sense that our technicians carry over 300+ of the most common parts on their vehicles. We had the correct part on the service vehicle and were able to resolve the issues promptly that day. Our competition cannot do that. Should you require service on any other gas products such as a fireplace, furnace or water heater, please do not hesitate to contact us. ~ Jason ~
