Furnace Maintenance

Mackay installed my Trane HVAC system over 10 yrs ago and has done the yearly maintenance since. The product is excellent and all the technicians I've dealt with have been knowledgeable, forthcoming and friendly. As a retired electrician I appreciate their technical skill and work ethic. Adam, the latest technician was no exception. I would recommend this company without reservation to one and all.

Geo System

Friendly technician, unfortunately he did not have the knowledge to service the geothermal, even though we asked for it when we made the phone call for maintenance. Had to come another time to fix the problem.

Hello, from Mackay Heating and Cooling. After doing some homework into who was at your home. All of our techs are very well versed in Geo....however, the reason he could not do the entire work is that he needs very specific tools, and glycol is something that is stored at our shop, so he had to return with other things, and tools that are not normally carried on any truck. It would appear that he did not understand, My thinking on this is that he needs to communicate that with you, so that you are aware of this and it does not apprear as though he is unsure, but that he has to get other things that are not on these vehicles....thanks so much from Mackay Heating and Cooling for this very valuable feedback. I can talk to our tech about this. This Homestars is very very valuable

Boiler maintenance

Both technicians came to my rescue quickly and efficiently....got my boiler (30 year old) running with zero emissions. Fair price, and no pressure to purchase anything. Will use them again for heating maintenance in the future.

Repair to Trane furnace

They provided service the same day I called. I spoke with several staff who were all very helpful. The service tech, Andrew, was great - got along with my dogs, answered all questions and did more than he was asked and all in a very professional and personal manner. MacKay is a great company and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Annual Furnace Maintenance

Fred from Mackay Heating and Cooling is always very nice, very neat and tidy, always takes his shoes off while entering the home, very knowledgeable, and takes his time to answer your questions. One thing he did bring up though is that our 10 yr Trane Warranty from 2008 may have changed and that while all parts and labour are still covered, we may now be subject to an Administrative Shipping and Handling Fee for some parts, eg. a ventor assembly may cost us $58.00. Our all-inclusive Warranty coverage from 2008 may not be grandfathered in, and we're not too happy about that. If my ventor assembly does have to be replaced, I don't want to pay a $58.00 Shipping & Handling Fee. I want my 10 yr Trane Warranty to cover all costs while it is under warranty. Can someone from Mackay Heating and Cooling please contact us about this.

First, let me thank you very much for the compliment about Fred. Fred has been with Mackay Heating and Cooling for a very long time. If you had been thinking that you were covered for shipping too., this was never the case. Mackays in the past always covered the shipping for the customers. I am not sure if the previous owners were aware that they were absorbing this cost, ( my guess is that they were not!!) The total cost of shipping for warranty parts, is far over $25,000.00 a year!!! We as a business cannot carry that cost at all. Please read the back of the contract, nothing has changed. We will continue to provide as much as we can at Mackay Heating and Cooling , that is far more than our competitors will offer you. An example of this, is that the warranty states, customer must pay overtime rate, over and above what the warranty will provide. We have not charged our customers to come out and yet, we absorb their overtime wage. This is thousands of dollars of work that we still provide and that is a difficult thing to do. If there are any areas of concern other than the one I have addressed here, please give us a shout. I wanted to share this openly with everyone though, because we are a transparent company. Please read the back of the warranty and know that we cover many of the areas that the warranty states we should not. We do all we can, we promise you./Thanking you, from Mackay Heating and Cooling
