HVAC issue

I don’t know how this company could have this many positive reviews, but had they diagnosed my HVAC system was a huge mistake!!!
AC seemed to have issues at my home. The moment this technician saw the HVAC system told me that I have a “custom made” heat pump which was specifically built for my condo unit. He checked all the wires and they all had power going into the system, therefore the electrical part was fine, but pointed out that the compressor wasn’t running, so I would need to replace the whole system. I showed him how to start up the compressor and he confirmed it was working. He then told me the reversing valve in the system was not working properly, but that it is irreparable, therefore I would still need to replace the whole system. I asked him if it would have something to do with the thermostat, he simply told me “if it’s the thermostat, just change the thermostat” (how can I say he’s wrong :) ... Then I asked him how we can confirm if the problem is associated with the wiring or not, but he said he couldn’t confirm since he is not an electrician… (how could you conclude the electrical part was fine if you’re not an electrician???)

During his 1 hour diagnose session ($175+HST), he spent nearly half of the time “educating” me how heat pumps work and how my heat pump unit is hard to get, also denying all the faulty symptoms I had experienced. Anyhow, luckily the problem is now solved and it was due to the wiring issue with my Google Nest thermostat, so that I don’t have to WASTE another $4800+tax which he quoted me ($4100 parts + $700 installation), whereas other companies are charging around $3500+tax (parts & labour) for the same item.

In case you’re reading this David, just like to let you know that my heat pump was manufactured by “the Whalen company”, each of their products have specific model and serial numbers, thus mine is not a “custom built” item. Such a company has been in the industry for decades, not as you described a “bankrupted” factory. They have distributors across North America, so that you don’t really have to find their “leftovers” from some abandoned warehouses.

Hi Jason

I appreciate your situation. I reached out to you through phone and text and you did not respond. I didn't even ask for proof of your diagnosis and I offered you a full refund. We are a family business for over 30 years and we rely on referrals. If you are unhappy we are unhappy. Feel free to reach out at anytime.

Condo hvac

I called Kevin to check my condo air handler. He sent his technician Ali the same day to inspect and repair it. It was a quick fix and the price was more than fair. I’m very happy with the customer service and workmanship. Ali took all safety precautions with shoe covers and a masks. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for heating and cooling repairs.

New furnace and duct cleaning

I called Quality Home Comfort to help with the installation of a new furnace. Kevin provided a great price and helped answer all my questions. He organized the job for the next day and everything went smoothly. I also wanted a duct cleaning and was pleased to find out they provide this service. Special thanks to Michael and Bobby for installing the furnace and to Akhtar for providing a thorough duct cleaning and sanitization. They have great prices and great service. I highly recommend them.

Duct cleaning

Kevin sent his crew the day after I called him to provide a duct cleaning. He always answers his phone and his reception provided excellent customer service. The crew was polite and wore masks. They did a through job and I am pleased with their work. Air in the home is much cleaner and I noticed less dust is sitting on surfaces.

Very Honest & Professional!

If you want the short version of this review, this company saved us anywhere from $450 - $11,000. (Yes, that is typed correctly!). Trust them.

They are honest and will truly tell you what is wrong with your furnace or, like they did to us, even tell you there is nothing wrong with it if everything is fine. The long version is below... I learned a lot. Might be worth a read.

During one of the first cold days this winter our furnace stopped working. We had completed maintenance service each year with one of the big companies and never had any issues. We called them and they sent the same person who had been there a few months prior for our regular service. At that time, we still had warranty on the furnace and it was apparently fine.

Service man came and reset the furnace and got it going. However, he said part needed to be changed that would cost us $450 but he wasn't sure if that would fix it. If it wouldn't, we would need to change another part that cost $1000. He said this was risky because the motor (which was just fine a few months ago) was overheating too so we should just get a new furnace at $6200. He also pushed for us to get a new air conditioner too because installing both at the same time would save us money and it was old. Another $4800. He was really so pushy about it that we got suspicious and decided to get a second opinion. It just didn't seem right.

We called Quality Home Comfort. Over the phone Kevin told me that even if we did need to change the parts they had indicated, the price was a fraction of what we were quoted. But it gets better.... When Dave showed up, he said NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT! Sometimes, they just need to be reset!

We did nothing and it has been months now and thank goodness we haven't had any issues!

I can't believe this other guy knew nothing was wrong with it, and was totally fine with a family with small kids spending $450 or $6200 or even $11,000 THAT THEY DIDN'T NEED TO SPEND.

I did some research and it turns out that these service people at some companies get paid commission on the contracts they make! That explains why the first guy was so pushy for us to get the new furnace!

Needless to say I have nothing but good things to say about Kevin and David and they are now the company we will trust going forward and frankly I am happy to give such honest people my business!

Thank you Kevin & David!!
