Shift Air Mechanical Ltd.

We were extremely pleased with the furnace and service we received from Brent and Shift Air Mechanical. Brent is professional, competent and knowledgeable. He was able to address our concerns and answer or questions in a timely manner. We highly recommend Brent and Shift Air Mechanical.

My furnace's blower motor broke down at 3am on a Saturday morning during the recent cold snap in Calgary. I immediately sent an email to Brent at Shift Air and had a response by 5:30am. Brent was at my house by noon on Saturday with the required part and had my furnace up and running in less than on hour. I appreciate Brent fitting my service call into his bust day.
Shift Air will be my first for all of HVAC needs.

Found Brent and Shift Air here on Homestars and have had a great experience so far. He inspected the furnaces in our new home, provided valuable insight on correcting some previous install issues and has added a much needed humidifier. He's pleasant to have around and is neat and tidy. We'll have him back in spring for more work.

I got quotes from 2 other well known places, they were both quite a bit higher.

They installed for us:
- New dual stage, variable speed 100K BTU 95% efficiency furnace from York
- 4" media filter box.
- High efficiency water heater
- Evaporator Coil for AC unit which we will be finishing up in the spring
- Honeywell Prestige thermostat and accessories

They did all the permits, moved away my old units, cored the vent holes, did custom ducting/vents and installed the new units.

They also called in to the city to schedule the inspection, which passed with no problems at all.

I am happy with the equipment, price and worksmanship and I will be using them again in the spring.

I referenced the coupon from this site and he honored it with no problem.

I already had a heater in mind, and size but the builder wanted $4500 for purchase and install.
I looked online for reputable installers and came upon Shift Air's ad on kijiji. Brent came to my house for a look, recommended a size and brand, gave me a quote, set up a date to come in the day after my possession. Everything went smoothly and as expected. I'm a tradesman as well and I appreciate the quality and finished look of the install. Would definitely use again in the future( thinking about a/c for the house next year).

Right from the start the owner Brent McQuade was professional and knowledgeable. He turned up when he said he would and provided a comprehensive written quote stating the service to be supplied, the parts and labour costs and the applicable GST. On the day of the install they turned up exactly when the said they would and stayed on site until the job was completed. As the customer I was encouraged to observe each step of the install, they had nothing to hide and were happy for me to be there watching. They were very polite and respectful in our property. They took the time to get it right and make it look right. At the end of the day they cleaned up the job site and removed all the packaging and other materials leaving it so that you wouldn't even know they had been except for the 2 new York A/C units with 10 years parts and labour guarantee. Overall I got 2 high end products professionally installed for the same money as the other companies wanted for lower quality units. I am happy to recommend Shift Air Mechanical Ltd

Extremely professional service. Everything completed on time, on budget. Project consisted of replacing an existing furnace, adding a coil for an A/C unit, upgrading the venting to code and running new gas lines.I went with a higher end model modulating York furnace and am very pleased with how quiet it operates. From the first call to completion, the only individual I dealt with was the owner Brent who took great pride in the quality of work and the level of professionalism of the service he and his co-workers delivered. I would highly recommend that you contact Shift Mechanical for your HVAC needs.

I had called around and was told that by several other businesses that I wouldn't be able to have my furnace looked at until the following week. I found that Shift Air had such great reviews on this site, and am very happy I made the call. Brent had our furnace fixed within two days and was very upfront about how much we could expect to pay for certain parts and what needed to be replaced. Brent is very personable and professional, and we will definitely be recommending his services to others!

Brent with Shift Mechanical did an excellent job taking on our small project of installing a humidifier in our new home. Punctual, good ideas and left the furnace area better than he found it.
Highly recommended.

I called Shift Air (on recommendation) this morning as my furnace was not engaging. The timing was perfect as Brent was to be in my neighbourhood within the hour and even though it is a long weekend, he did not charge for service call overtime because of the proximity. He let me watch the process and explained everything. Luckily he had the correct part stocked and the house was warm within minutes. He tested and retested until satisfied all was well. Brent is very personable yet professional. He was candid about some other issues with the furnace including potential costs, and then offered great advice and a personal recommendation (like this one) to call another specialist he trusts. No doubt his success is due to the care he takes with his business and his commitment to excellent, honest service. In parting, he also offered a generous guarantee on the work. I will never lose the number for Shift Air.
