I found this company listed on Kijiji and I hired this company after getting a reference from a previous client and after they provided me with a competitive quote. They completed the work for the amount agreed to but there were several problems with the quality of the workmanship. Some things were immediately evident and otheres were pointed out to me later by another (trustworthy) contractor.
Issues included:
1) Sealing the joints of the ductwork was incomplete causing air to leak.
2) Placement of the bulkhead was done for the contractor's ease as opposed to esthetic or future reno considerations.
3) A/C unit rattled after install. Rob McFarlane's answer was to put a patio stone on top. This is not a professional response to a problem. Now we have a patio stone permanently on top of the unit. When I sell the house I suppose I am to tell the buyer that I hired a third rate company to install an a/c unit and the only way to stop it from rattling is to keep the stone on it.
3) The basement drop ceiling tiles had to be cut for the new bulkhead. Mr. McFarland did a terrible job putting these back up. He cut the tiles without measuring and now they are all different lengths.
Overall I think there are people out there who will do a better quality job at a similar price. I would not hire this company again or recommend to anyone.
