new air conditioner

I am a customer of the Comfort Shoppe and when I called on Monday about my broken air conditioner, they came right away. By 6p.m the next day I had a new air conditioner installed and working perfectly. I could not ask for better service

Air Conditioner Installation

I saw my neighbour used The Comfort Shoppe to install their Lennox air conditioner. So I called them to install a Lennox XC21 A/C. Both Emma who dealt with pre-sales and Yvonne who dealt with after-sales are very nice to deal with. They are very responsive! The installer Dana is also very nice. Job was done perfectly! The price is very fair and they even accepted credit card up to amount of $7,500 without adding 3% charge like many other companies do.

Highly recommend!

Replaced Gas furnace & Central AC unit

The installers arrived on time (even a few minutes early) , began working right away and continued until the job was completed.
They covered the carpet going to the basement with a drop sheet which was much appreciated .
Before leaving, they explained how to achieve maximum efficiency from both units (furnace for winter months & AC for summer)
which included instructions for the new thermostat they installed.
Everything was cleaned up as it was before they started so no mess left.
Cost was pretty comparable to others but I don't believe the cheapest option is the best option when replacing these items.
Great experience & I would definitely recommend The Comfort Shoppe to anyone considering replacing their HVAC units.

Heat Pump Installation

The work was done seamless but there was a miscommunication between the original installation plan and the actual installed one, including additional cost.

Company Response

When our installation technician arrived he was asked by the homeowner if the indoor unit of the heat pump could be put in a different location than agreed on for the quote. The technician was very up-front about there being additional costs involved as extra materials would be required to accommodate the new location. This was also brought to the attention of the other homeowner to ensure all parties concerned were aware of the additional costs. When the installation did occur, our technician once again informed the homeowner of the additional cost and had her initial the contract showing the additional cost. We are sorry you felt there was a miscommunication. We strive to keep our customers completely informed before, during and after an installation. Thank you for choosing The Comfort Shoppe and thank you for your HomeStars review. :)

The Whole Shebang

Gerry and crew were professional, fast and more than willing to answer any of my questions. Not only that, when The Comfort Shoppe couldn't meet the first installation date they moved it UP, not back! How often does that happen? I'm thrilled with the new unit and the fact that it's super efficient.

You got one of the best installers in the business! Gerry has many years of HVAC installations under his belt, so his installs are efficient and usually go off without a hitch. So glad you are happy with the new equipment. We appreciate your kind review :)

Propane furnace installation

They removed our oil burner and installed a new high efficiency propane system. They installed an iComfort thermostat and took the time to help me install the app on my phone and connect to the thermostat. The owner, Scott Seeney, came out twice during the installation process to ensure things went smoothly. Well done, Comfort Shoppe! Thank you!

Switching from oil to propane is a great way to save money especially when it's combined with a new high efficiency furnace. We are glad you are a satisfied customer and we thank you for your review :)

The Mitsubishi heat pump is a great solution for many situations including homes with no duct work and additions with little air circulation. Our technicians are certified with Mitsubishi to install and service their products. Thank you for the high review :)

Regency HR13E fireplace insert

I went in the store and asked to have efficient Fireplace insert. with no remote control...(less things to go wrong)
Got info and Scott came to the house to look at old fireplace and concerns about cover the fireplace opening. Was pleased with Scott and his info.
Got a call from the store giving me 4 quotes from saleslady. Floor model was best deal...it had a remote and asked if I could turn unit on and off with out remote. "Yes "was her reply when I went to the store to look at the floor model it was not hooked up anymore. after purchasing it the installer told me that I did have to use the remote..No explanation at the time of purchasing fireplace insert, that I did have to use the remote as I could not access on and off switch on fireplace insert unless I took the cover off. This is also not easy to do!!! Installer where friendly and good but did not know much about how to use the remote...Told me to read the manual which I downloaded from computer....which did not come with installation. so we where all trying to figure out how to turn fireplace on. Told to read the Manual. I absolutely hate this remote... it is a computer with a mind of it's own if it wants to light my fire or not....lol.. It sure lights my frustration and patience to get it lit...plus embarrassment X4 when I was trying to show company my new fireplace.... they where not impressed... especially after what I told them that it over $4100
My friend has gone to the store several times as he to has tried to start the fireplace too... we were not very pleased with sales lady and only wanted to deal with Scott when I bought it.
The store sent a tect. to look at fireplace... and of coarse it worked. I might of been holding the OFF and flame buttons together too long??!! the fireplace fan also sounds noisier than when it was installed... told that is normal as there is no insulation around it. Of coarse after Tech. left we tried using remote like we where shown, and again it was hard to start...??? Really...have to try several times to start it... when tech was here he had the front plate off and seemed to start easier......Bottom line I am sorry I bought RegencyHR13E as it is very frustrating to start and at times have to walk away as I can not get it started.... thus leaving very frustrated... At least when I tapped the old fireplace on the regulator it started!!!! I feel this is a lot of money for a senior to buy to be frustrated everytime I what to start....Finding I am not wanting to use it because of hard it is too start....
Sure was a waste of my pension monies.

We’re sorry you are not enjoying your Regency HR13E gas insert. We provided you with four different fireplace quotes so that you could make the best educated choice when making your purchase. The floor model you chose was no longer on display in our showroom, but stored in our back warehouse for your viewing. We have and will continue to provide you with the best support possible so that you can learn to love your fireplace. Thank you for taking the time to complete the HomeStars Review.

Furnace problem assessment and subsequent replacement

The Comfort Shoppe has been fantastic to deal with for two different furnace problems and replacements in two different homes. Both the office staff and technicians are always very courteous, professional, knowledgable and helpful. Appointments are always timely and technicians are prompt. Fees, policies and services are competitive and fair. I am extremely happy with the service provided by the Comfort Shoppe.
