Don't use Mersey

For several years I've had my tankless hot water heater serviced (yearly) by Mersey and was always happy with their service. In November 2023 the hot water would go off and on in the shower so I called Mersey in a month before I normally had the servicing done - and the first thing their technician asked after opening the hot water heater was what company had done the last servicing. I asked why - and he said that they had left us with a dangerous situation - the external limit heat wrap (I believe this was the name) had not been put back into position. The technician had to tag and shut off the gas to the water heater as it had to be completely replaced as the excess heat had caused it to deform and it was leaking gas.
A Mersey sales person contacted me the next day and quoted me $16,000 for replacement - more than double what I ended up paying from a different company to have a combi-boiler installed.
I called Mersey multiple times over the next several weeks asking to speak to a manager. Every time I was told that a manager would call me back shortly. Nevermind that I was charged for the service call in which the gas was shut off to my house, really the least they could have done was call back to address the situation. I won't use Mersey again.

Very helpful during difficult circumstances

Our heating stopped working while my family was out of town because my father was dying. The last thing I wanted to be thinking about was our furnace. The Mersey staff were responsive, helpful and went the extra mile to sort things out with me during a difficult time. Great customer service! We ended up deciding to purchase a new furnace and they both installed the furnace and dealt with the financing immediately. We came home to a warm house. Thank you Mersey!

Condo heat pump

My experience was horrible. Three different appointments and still they couldnt diagnose the issue with my condo heat pump. On two additional occasions the techs didnt even show up after my appointments were confirmed. In the end when I called another company, turns out their diagnosis of the issue was completely wrong. I was 3 weeks without heat as a result of their incompetence, lack of clear communication, missing apointments and poor customer care.

DO NOT deal with this mersey company from 1960 Ellesmere Rd Unit 6 M1P 3C2 Scarborough Ontario

This company is not a trustable company. They did change my heating and cooling system since we didn't get a good heat or cold upstairs and after their installation, we still have the same problem. they even told us that they would clean up the ducks since we might have an issue there and they have sent two morans to do the job and they couldn't even clean up the ducts!!!!

Annoyed

Been a customer of Mersey for over 5 years and have always enjoyed great service, very prompt and professional. I always get my AC and furnace checked by them every year. This year have had to make 2 appointments for a furnace check before the cold weather, both appointments cancelled by Mersey and I am rebooked for November. Somewhat disappointed.

Very disappointed

After 23 years of good service from Mersey, I was extremely disappointed when they did not show up for a furnace problem on Thanksgiving weekend, and did not notify me they werent coming. I interrupted my plans to be home in time, and 3 hours later, called them 3 times before learning they didnt have staff.
So much for their 24/7 guarantee when a service plan is purchased.

Purchase and installation of a new ductless air conditioner

On August 11th 2023 we has a new ductless air conditioning unit installed. The installation went really well - the technicians showed up when they were supposed to and dispatch called in advance to let me know that they were arriving shortly. The first time we used the new unit was on Sunday August 20th 2023 - the next morning we discovered that there had been a massive leak (the pipes from the external unit run into the house to the internal unit through my closet and my clothes were soaking wet, as was the plaster wall). I contacted Mersey on the morning of August 21st and they sent out a technician who arrived at 9am. Although he was able to fix the leak, he couldn't do anything about the water-damage. He told me to call and ask to speak with an operations manager. Although there were some initial difficulties in getting in touch with Mersey in regards to the water damage, this was rectified. They offered to pay to have the stains on the closet wall painted, as there doesn't appear to be any structural damage, especially after the plaster had time to fully dry.

Thermostat not working

I was not going to be the one who leaves a bad review for Mersey Hearing and Air conditioning especially when a good relationship was made between us. I had bought my furnace, water heater tank, and air conditioning from them within a couple of years.

On August 9th, 2023 I discovered that the display on my digital thermometer meter was not working (had blank screen). It was a warm day and the day was heating up very quickly so the need of air conditioner was essential! I called Mersey to find out what I can do to fix it. This was especially concerning as the unit was new 2 years old but was out of warranty (still very new!) still having a blank display was unexpected. The consultant did NOT try to trouble shoot at all and said they need to send some one out to do a diagnostics for the cost of $160 +HST ($190.97 after tax). I had no choice but to accept it as I leave with a senior mother. The guy came in time as expected and right as he got in the door he said did you check to see if the furnace switch was accidentally shut off? This was exactly the case as I am in the process of renting my basement out and so a lot of agents come and go and must have turned it off mistaking the switch for the light in the furnace room. I never thought of checking for this as the thought of the switch fixing the thermostat never crossed my mind! I quickly went downstairs and turned the switch on along with the repair man watching. At no time did the repair man do anything just told me to check which this was in fact what causes the thermostat not to work. After turning on the switch the system was back up and running. Right away I asked the repair man to cut me a break and only charge for the gas and small amount of time that he had to take to come by. He said its not up to him and that he had to charge the full amount as this amount is the cost for his visit. I was very disappointed especially when I had spend around
$20000 already with all the products from this organization. I called their main customer service expressing my concerns to please lessen the charge to maybe half price as I dont think this is fair for the guy to just show up not lay a hand to do anything and guided me on turning on the furnace main switch to get FULL amount of the visit. When I called them they said they will send this case to a manager and someone will reach out which of course they never did! I am just disappointed as this could have been an ongoing relationship with this organization which had ended and dont think I will ever call them again for anything. Its one business they will no longer have going forward!

If the company would reconsider the charge or at least REDUCE the cost as good business practice I would reconsider maintaining this relationship.

I would not recommend this company to anyone as they are hungry for cash even when nothing is done. The turning on of the main furnace switch SHOULD HAVE BEEN suggested up on first consultation by phone and not to waste my time and money for an unnecessary visit only to collect $190. Anyways just wanted to share my feedback here so you are aware that Mersey Heating is no different than the average heating company who is only after your hard earned money. A company without a soul is not the one I want to do business with going forward. No thanks!!!!!

Summer A/C inspection

John performed our annual A/C service with report yesterday. An issue was found with a high, supply air temperature. The high reading was corrected by sensing at a different location in the duct work. All is well. John did a great job, we will have him back next year.
