Professional and knowledgeable technician

This is the first time I've used A1 to service my furnace. The technician was very professional, answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable and thorough in the work he did. I am very pleased with this gentleman and the company. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

New furnace and air conditioner

I have been dealing with A1 heating for 20 years, Tom has been servicing my furnace and last week we had to replace it and the air conditioner. Jeff came out the next day and Mike and Hadden installed the new furnace and air conditioner yesterday. I tell you how pleased we are with the job that they have done!
They went out of their way to make sure that every detail was correct and in proper order.
We would highly recommend them, in fact over the last 15 years 3 of our neighbours are now working with A1 heating. There not 5 stars they are 10 stars

Service call

My heating system started to make a lot of noise. Tom showed up and quickly diagnosed the issue. The cost for his visit was covered under my service contract

Exorbitant repair cost

Beware of this company. Charge a flat rate for any repair. Their labour charge $149.00 per hour. Paid $1200.00 to install a circuit board that retails for $300.00 .

Furnace Replacement

A1 has been annually servicing my furnace and A/C for as long as I can remember. When my 17-year-old furnace stopped working, the A1 technician arrived within 2 hours of my call at 1930 hours. Diagnosed the problem and recommended replacement of the furnace. An hour later a salesman came to give me a quote and schedule the installation for the following morning. By 1500 hours the following day I had a new working furnace. You can't surpass their service and excellent workmanship. Thanks to Giovanna, Sheldon, Justin and Richard.

SuperDeal Protection not so Super on long weekend

We called for emergency service Saturday morning of the Family Day long weekend. A technician made a visit and determined we need a new gas valve, but he did have one in his van. Therefore we would need to wait until Tuesday when the company opened for business before another technician would be sent out to resolve the issue. This is what happened, consequently we were with any heat for three days, its not what I expected from the SuperDeal protection package which I've been paying into for over ten years.
I guess paying a store man to be on call is too expensive for Mr. Messenger to absorb, maybe he'd care to comment

A1 contacted me and explained they don't stock gas valves and need to order from Carrier which were closed for the long weekend.

Heat Pump - cutting through the mystery - A1 is Top Drawer for sure

A1 was referred to me by a friend who was pleased and impressed by A1, I got in touch with her contact.

The Salesman was incredible: friendly, professional and demystifying. He explained how Heat Pumps work and the key calculations necessary based on my house - notably duct capacity and right sizing the solutions for both the indoor and outdoor units.
He even showed me the NEEP (Northeast Energy Experience Partnership) site which has "over two-dozen manufacturers of leading high-performing cold climate ASHPs have chosen to list their products on NEEP's list." Another unit I'd been quoted for was there and we ran the calculations - full transparency confirmed my situation warranted a hybrid with gas solution.
The representative drew me a graph of outdoor temperatures - for heat or cool - showing when the backup would kick in - in other words when the fossil fuel would have to take over. The expectation is 70% clean.
While I already have a furnace room, the outdoor unit needed to be placed. There was a super-easy spot however it encroached on space I share with my neighbour and we landed on a spot which was better for me where the installing team would have to do more work. Not a problem.
Lead time for installation was easy - he said he needed 48hours and it would take a day so I picked the day in the following week.
The 3 man install team arrived a little early on Wednesday morning and were respectfully and quietly waiting outside until I waved them in.
Really good crew, very professional and down to business - they worked well and quietly together - which was nice as I was in the house. Turns out, even with the added work, they finished a smidge early, so essentially 8am-345pm and cleaned up well.
There were a couple of small things I went back to my salesperson for. He as well as the CX & Business Development Manager were all over the issues and lightning fast to respond - even though it was after hours. People were sent out the next day and problem solved so fast. The problem turned out to be such a small thing (my fault actually) I was afraid the technician would be grumpy, Not at all grumpy he was so kind, cheerful and competent - said the favourite part of his job was meeting the customers - he thanked me!

I had had different Heat Pump providers come to the house & quote and, as my neighbour put it, it's the Wild West out there. I'm so relieved and happy to have gone with the A1 team. They've been in business over 50 years, have so much experience and so focused on their clients. I feel A1 really knows their business and going above and beyond is just what they do.

Skilled, professional, courteous, and thorough

We had A1 install a gas furnace, AC, and a gas water heater (replacing a rental unit). TL;DR, we are very happy with the service and hardware we received, and would like to especially call-out the skill, professionalism, and thoroughness of our sales rep, Andrew, and the install team, Brad and Deron.

Andrew took the time to review various aspects, such as personal preferences, and hardware and installation options. He identified possible issues (i.e., regarding a finished basement with limited venting options and an old electrical panel), and solutions to those issues. He made detailed notes, and took photos and videos to share with the install crew (more on this later).

A1 has an online portal for presenting and reviewing proposals, and this made it very easy to review and compare options and specifications.

On installation day, Brad and Deron literally rolled out the red carpet for us -- a thick (red) tarp to protect our floors. They arrived around 8:30am, and were finished by 4:30. They had reviewed Andrew's notes, photos, and videos, so they were prepared and got started immediately. There were no unpleasant surprises. They were polite, respectful, happy, neat, and tidy.

They replaced the water heater first, so we would have hot water as soon as possible. We didn't even have to ask! They even took care of returning the rental tank to the company, saving us a $75 pick-up fee. It was these courtesies and considerations that really stood out. Brad also relocated the electrical shutoff switch for the furnace and blower, so that it was more easily accessible for my elderly parents. Again, we didn't have to ask, and this was a very welcomed change.

The install ended with the install team showing us the features of our new systems, and how they worked. The team's work was excellent, and they were deservedly very proud of it. We highly recommend the professionals at A1.
