Westmount Heating

I was referred to Westmount Heating by another contractor who did a furnace install at my previous home. I am very glad I chose them to replace the hot water tank and boiler with a new Bosch Combi Boiler. From the time I met Mircea when he came to give me an estimate I knew that I would chose him. Mircea was very professional, knowledgeable and understood my need. He in fact convinced me to go for a Combi Boiler that would save me up front costs as opposed to separate tankless heater and boiler that of course would have given him more business. He and Lorenzo with another assistant finished the installation job in about 4 hours over last weekend. They did a thorough professional and clean job. Though it has been hot these days and I have had no opportunity to test the heating side of the boiler, I am satisfied with the hot water output. I am sure the heating side will be equally satisfying come this winter. The overall experience of working with Westmout Heating is more than satisfying and I would highly recommend them to other people looking to upgrade or install new HIVAC systems.

Westmount Heating has been a pleasure to work with. When I needed a new furnace and wanted to add A/C, I researched possible units and had an idea what I wanted but Lorenzo convinced me to look at a less expensive option. How often does a business do that? He was certain that the less expensive model would be all I needed and saved me money in the process. He even showed me how to do some basic maintenance on the A/C unit because it was so simple which saved me more money. I’ve been very satisfied with the heating and cooling my units have provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Westmount Heating to anyone.

We used Westmont to install a new air conditioning system, after reviewing the reviews on Homestars.

This company was very professional. They kept to the schedule and were competitively priced.

They were a pleasure to deal with and would not hesitate in recommending them.

This company it great!! Very knowledgeable and professional, the work was done quickly and was of the highest caliber. Very neat and workmanlike. I highly recommend Westmount Heating!

I'm a bit late with this review but one year ago Lorenzo came to look at my suddenly non-functioning 38 year old furnace. The blower motor was gone and he said it could be replaced but given the age of the furnace he would not recommend it and told me that if I wanted to do it I would have to contact another company because he could not stand behind that repair and therefore would not do it given the cost and the likelihood that something else would fail since the furnace was so old. I knew immediately that I was dealing with an honest and ethical person. Lorenzo gave me what I thought was a very reasonable price and two days later he was back and within a few hours I had a new high efficiency furnace that not only heats my house much quicker and efficiently but also has already saved me money on natural gas. Great service, honest information and reasonable costs. I would recommend Westmount to anyone who is seeking this service.

I had a leak in the water pump for the furnace and they were at my house very quickly. Polite ,honest,friendly and timely. I would recommend westmount for any furnace repairs or servicing.

Lorenzo replaced our furnace 4 years ago and services it every year. He is always prompt and works efficiently. Highly recommended.

Our 25 year old boiler stopped working in our 1,900 square foot home due to poor maintenance by the previous owners. When I first reached out to four HVAC companies, only half of them responded. We found Company A through Costco's referal program and the technician/saleman who came to our home for an estimate tried to upsell us on a couple of Bosch high-efficiency units ranging from $12,000-$17,000. For a mid-efficiency unit, we were quoted $8,000 which we felt was still too high. Onto company B, we were offered a mid-efficiency Slant/Fin unit for $6,000 and $5,800 for the Super Hot MG-100 but wanted a deposit up front and did not discuss about permitting. Luckily we found Homestars where we got quick responses from four top rated companies after emailing photos and details about our home and dead boiler. Company C quoted us a reasonable price on a mid-efficiency Raypak boiler, but we found out that they were not reliable.

In the end, we decided to contract Westmount Heating for several reasons. Firstly, Mirch got back to us with an assessment and estimate for a replacement Super Hot MG-100 unit at not only a reasonable, but the best rate that we found. He was super honest and didn't even upsell us especially when I mentioned that our home has presence of poly-b piping and that we were thinking of replacing that too. Mirch said that it wasn't cost-effective and that the chance of failure was relatively low, especially if we were to install a separate heat exchanger. Secondly, we read through all the positive reviews about Westmount Heating on Homestars from their previous and existing clients who continue to entrust them. Naturally, we began feeling even more confident in their services. Last but not least, we received a detailed quote from Mirch and his team the following morning which, again, was very reasonable and included permitting.

On the day of installation, Mirch was punctual and arrived a bit earlier than expected, even beating me home! He is such a friendly person on top of having high integrity which is super hard to find these days. When he inspected our dead boiler, in person for the first time, he realized that the vast majority of the piping was copper and not poly-b meaning that a heat exchanger that was initially quoted was not even necessary, saving us $1,000! It was my poor intel in the first place as the existence of poly-b was only under the sinks connecting to our hot water tank. We would easily have paid for one with our ignorance, but it's thanks to wonderful people like Mirch and the Westmount Heating team that they truly care about their clients before themselves. His brother, Laurenzo, came by later with all the parts and they worked together efficiently. The removal of the old boiler and installation of the new one was done even quicker than expected. Mirch was kind enough too to add a seismic strap to our hot water tank at no extra charge. They are so incredibly thoughtful in that they also cleaned up all the mess including the vacuuming of their shoe tracks. Even Kim went the extra mile and helped to schedule me in for the gas inspection from the City of Vancouver as a value-added service. Talk about under promise and over deliver! Everyone kept warning us to beware of shady contractors so it feels amazing that Westmount Heating is one company that is doing exceptional and honest work for their clients. We do not at all hesitate to recommend their services. We are already planning on using them again to install a gas line for our range.

The installation crew arrived as scheduled. The were professional and worked quickly keeping me informed of their progress. Upon completion of the installation they cleaned up all the debris and walked me through the workings of my new furnace.

My furnace is 30 years old and needs replacing .....
After researching and obtaining quotes various local companies on various furnaces, I chose Westmount Heating for the installation of my new furnace over other companies due to their honesty and knowledge of the products they install. Westmount was recommended to me by neighbour who had the same furnace installed a year prior.
They provided a quote with several cost options and install solutions. I found them to be extremely knowledgable, friendly and courteous.
On the day of the install, Laurenzo and his team showed up on time, completed all of the work ahead of schedule and performed more than what was stated on the quotation.
Several of my neighbours are now choosing Westmount for the install of their furnaces to be installed later this month.
Being very particular on how things are done... i would definitely recommend Laurenzo and his team at Westmount Heating for the replacement of your furnace..
