Max is great! We have nothing but great things to say about Aire Max. Max (owner of Aire Max), as an independent contractor and family man with his own business, gave us great personal care and attention.
We woke up Friday morning with no heat. After calling a few people, we found him on Homestars and liked the ratings and reviews he got. We phoned him Friday night and he came to look at our problem the very next day. We were going to go with a bigger guy, the big red box store or big blue wishbook catalog company, to get a new furnace and install it, but after meeting Max, we had a feeling we were in good hands ... and we were right. He quoted us at $3300 (not including the 2nd $150 final energy efficiency inspection that we will do in a month so we can get all the energy rebates) … between $500-$1000 less than the bigger companies, as Max has lower overhead.
He had an inspector lined up for Monday morning and started the work that same Monday morning. We have a 1200 sq. ft. house, so he recommended the new model of the smaller Keep-Rite 96% efficiency furnace (most are 95%) because a lot of the other furnaces are either end of life discontinued or are of lower quality. He told us that the Keep-Rite sometimes is just a bit more expensive to service, but the quality is better than the others ... we are quite happy with what we had installed.
Max installed a new chimney liner, added hot water piping and exhaust to through the wall to the driveway (Max explained to us that the high efficiency furnaces have a few drops of water as a by-product of how they work ... which we confirmed with some other experts), turned on the gas and cleaned up after himself.
He walked us through the Federal and Provincial energy rebates. For example one of the many rebates we got was a $790 rebate government energy rebate for work done by smaller independent companies (there is an approx. $1100 equiv. rebate if work is done by a larger company, but then we would have had to pay $500+ extra for the overall work by going with a bigger company).
We entrusted Max and Max Aire with the warmth, safety and comfort of our family and you should too. Thanks again Max.
Cheers!
