Replace older boiler with new high efficiency boiler in century home
Our 14 year old boiler was declared broken in mid-March by Enercare. With no heat heading into a late cold snap, we had to move fast.
Michael, the owner, provided great advice. So did some competitors, but we elected to give the job to McKinnnon since they tied for the best price and offered solid advice.
McKinnon's team arrived on time, first thing on the day after we agreed to buy. They did a good job of working in our ancient boiler room, brought the direct venting pipes through a finished basement bedroom very clean and tight to the wall, with minimal damage and mess. They worked until midnight to finish the job in one day, and expertly installed a new bleed valve on a very old paint-covered cast iron rad so they could refill the system. (Other vendors have refused to work with these old paint-covered rads). When I returned home the next day, the house was warm, and there was nothing to clean up.
We were very pleased with Michael and McKinnon's advice, work, value for money, and responsiveness. I would recommend them.
