Furnace Checkup, Tune-up and Maintenance

On April 26, 2024, an annual furnace checkup, tune-up and maintenace was performed by Distinct Heating & Cooling. As usual, Ed did an excellent job. He texted ahead prior to his arrival, arrived on time and completed the work professionally, efficiently and courteously. Ed, the technician, is very knowledgeable and always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Distinct Heating & Cooling for all your furnace and air conditioning needs.

AC and furnace maintenance

Jordan arrived on time and was very professional, friendly and polite. He inquired how we were doing and then he took time to review what he had on his work order. He then proceeded to complete the work. When he was finished he took time to explain the invoice and showed us what he replaced. He gave us an update on both the furnace and AC unit. We paid the bill. It was a pleasure working with Jordan.

Thank you for taking the time to leave Jordan a 10 star review! We are happy to hear that Jordan arrived on time, was very professional, friendly and polite. We have been blessed to have had Jordan as part of our Distinct team for well over a decade now! Making sure that we treat our customers the way we want to be treated is extremely important to us and that includes making sure our customers are aware of the work/costs during the appointment so you have an understanding and are comfortable with the costs. Making sure that we keep an accurate record of each visit to our customers property is also very important to us so we are happy that you appreciated that step as well.

Thank you again for leaving us such a kind review, we greatly appreciate it!

Furnace Repair

Another cold chilly day in Calgary. The furnace at my rental went down. I needed to get my tenants situation corrected ASAP.

With the help of Erin and Jordan at Distinct it was back up and running in no time. Excellent customer service! Will absolutely use their services again!

Thanks Distinct!

Always fantastic work that is installed correctly the first time!

I've been using Distinct Heating and Cooling for over 10 years now. They always do fantastic work that is installed correctly the first time and they stand behind their quote.

When the original furnace died in my new (older) house Jordan and Aidan arrived quickly, and had the new furnace installed before the weather got really cold. As always it was done with great workmanship and full walk-through of all the new features and how to best use them.

I did quotes from 2 other companies but with Distinct you also get a bit of an education how the job should be done. When some of the other companies did not include some of these steps until I asked them I knew I did not want to deal with them.
If youre looking to get the job done right the first time by people who stand behind their work contact Distinct Heating and Cooling.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 10 star review Eric but more importantly for your support of our small business for over 10 years now! We greatly appreciate your continued support! We are so happy to hear that you were pleased with quality of work we do and appreciate you saying we do things right the first time and stand behind our quote. That is so important to us! We are very lucky to have Jordan and Aidan be able to arrive quickly and install your new furnace before the weather got really cold. The technicians take great pride in their workmanship and thoroughly enjoy doing a walk through with our customers after the installation to make sure you know how to properly and comfortably use your new equipment. Getting more that 1 quote for a big investment like this is a very wise thing to do as a consumer and we are so happy to hear that Nate was able to give you a thorough explanation of how a proper installation should happen and how we always do our installations. Unfortunately even if you buy the top notch piece of equipment on the market, if it is not installed properly from the start then you can have major issues! Going with the cheapest quote isn't always the best route for a big investment like a new furnace, heat pump, or A/C. Thank you again for your continued support of our small business Eric! We truly do appreciate it!

Thank you for taking the time to leave Kristian and Jaden a 10 star review! We are so happy to hear that you are happy with job they did for you installing your new furnace and A/C unit and that they were very professional, clean and meticulous during the installation process.

They take great pride in making sure that you have a superior installation that not only will work properly for you for as many years as possible but also that it looks as clean and neat as possible in your mechanical room.

Making sure that our customers have all their questions answered and are comfortable with how everything works before we leave is extremely important to us as well so we are happy to hear you had all your questions answered and we are just a phone call away if something else comes to mind!

Thank you for supporting our small family run business and for your recommendation of our company. It truly means the world to us Michael and we look forward to seeing you in the spring when the weather gets warmer for the quick A/C start up and then for your yearly maintenances!

Yearly service

Distinct Heating replaced our furnaces in 2019 and Jordan has been servicing them since. He is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely clean. The service we have received from Jordan and the owner Nate for the last 5 years has been superb. In November they had to do some work that involved the roof. They monitored the weather and roof conditions and came as soon as the roof was clear of snow and ice. The work they do is always done promptly, on time and explained well. I would highly recommend Distinct Heating to anyone! Their service is the best we have ever received.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 10 star review and for trusting us to install your furnaces in 2019! Jordan has been part of our Distinct team/family for over a decade now and we are so lucky to have him! Jordan is a people person for sure and we are happy to hear that you find him friendly, knowledgeable and extremely clean. We ask all of our technicians to treat our customers homes the same way they would treat their own so that is very important to us! Providing our customers with top notch customer service is also very important to us as well as keeping our word when we say we are going to do something we do it.

Having our customers aware and understand exactly what we are doing so they feel comfortable with the services we provide and the cost ahead of time so there are no surprises at the end.

Thank you for your recommendation of our company and again for your continued support of our small business, we greatly appreciate it!

Timeliness, Knowledge, Detail, and More

Where do we start about all the good things to say about Jordan and Distinct Heating & Cooling? When our furnace completely stopped working, we realized the timing was after hours. We called and Jordan answered the after-hours line without delay. Call it business-sense, customer service, or both, Jordan genuinely tried to help us economically over the phone before doing a call-out. He provided the amount for the call-out, gave an estimate of when he would arrive, and went through what seemed to be mental list of checkboxes as he checked the connections to be all okay. Afterwards, the furnace came on! For how long the furnace would continue working we did not know. Jordan advised replacement of a control board for which he really did what he could to get one at that time.

Jordan advised what to do in case the furnace stopped overnight. He gave an estimate of when he might be able to come by the next day to replace the control board. Though he was booked the next morning, what a pleasant surprise that his schedule allowed him to come by in the morning! Thank you so much, Jordan, for getting our furnace working again! We are so appreciative of Jordans education and knowledge of furnace operation (and thermostats) and that Distinct Heating & Cooling was neither the least expense nor the most expensive company, especially on the evening before the coldest days of the week/weekend. Thank you so much, Jordan, for being up front with us on costs. We recommend Jordan and Distinct Heating & Cooling.

Wow thank you for taking the time to leave us and Jordan such a kind review!

Providing our customers with the peace of mind of 24-7 service is extremely important to us, especially when we were in the middle of a polar vortex deep freeze🥶

We are so happy to hear that Jordan answered the call promptly and tried to save you an overtime call out fee by trying to diagnose your heating issue over the phone. We know just how expensive things have gotten in our world over the last couple of years so we do truly try whenever possible to avoid our customers paying for something that may be a quick fix such as making sure you have a clean filter in place and knocking the snow/ice off of exhaust pipes when it is extremely cold out!

Jordan loves helping people and his knowledge and passion for all things HVAC related so we are happy to hear that he provided you with top notch service during your time of need!

We try to keep as many parts on our technicians vehicles as possible but sometimes a second visit is required if that part needed is a special order part or not one that we readily have on our vehicles. We try to do the return visit as soon as possible and without an additional call out fee for our customers. Being up front about our costs is very important to us so our customers are never caught off guard when they get the bill at the end.

We have been incredibly lucky to have had Jordan as part of the Distinct team/family for over a decade now and we will make sure we pass on your glowing review of him.

Thank you again for your kind review and support of our small business, we greatly appreciate it!
