Lou Chang from Oakville

We had Peter and his crew move a bookshelf. They were timely, professional and courteous. There were some unexpected speed bumps (my fault for getting the wrong information) but they just rolled with it and it all worked out fine. Peter managed to make some availability for us on short notice, and we really appreciated that.

Chris is pretty tech savvy. I pictured texted him an image of my roof from my driveway and he texted me back the estimate. Once I made my decision to go with Chris, he scheduled the installation for 3 days later. What I liked about Chris is that he assessed my roof and decided that he could do it without help, and so decided not to get an aide for the installation. After the installation, we got around 30-40 channels, including some Buffalo stations. Overall, pretty happy with what we got for the price we got it.

Some time over the summer, a wasp nest sprung out of nowhere. My neighbours informed me of the problem and I was very reluctant to attempt removal myself. So I sought out a pest removal service. I found Pestend through this website, and contacted the company. They were courteous over the phone, they immediately gave me competitively priced quote and we schedule a removal for later in the same week. The service was very communicative, calling one day before to confirm and narrow the appointment, and the technician gave me a 20 minute notice before he had arrived. The technician was friendly and worked efficiently, removing the nest in about half an hour. The price of removal was exactly as quoted, and now I no longer have a wasp nest. Thanks Pestend.

In January 2014, the winter was frigid. In the middle of a cold snap, when the temperature outside dropped to -20C, we smelled gas in our basement. It turns out that our 30+ year old furnace had a crack in the heat exchange. We contacted Husky, and within 30 minutes, a representative arrived at my home. We described our household needs and the representative came up with the most cost effective solution and a quote. By taking into account incentive programs offered by both the Ontario Power Authority and Enbridge Gas, the Husky representative informed us how we could get approximately $1,500 in rebates from on-going programs. (Note the cost posted does not include the rebates, and includes the cost of replacing the chimney liner, which was a separate issue.) After agreeing to use Husky, they arranged for the Enbridge energy inspector to arrive within the day, a requirement to access the Enbridge Gas incentive program. The following morning, a subcontractor that is regularly used by Husky arrived at my door, and by the afternoon I had a new furnace, and more importantly, heat. It took about 24 hours for me to get my new furnace up and running. Although Husky does use subcontractors, based on my interactions, it was clear that they have an ongoing relationship and were competent. The quote given to me on the first day was dead on except for one thing: a $150 water pump. Although we had the option to have a drainage pipe go across the floor, we felt this was too big an inconvenience. Instead, we opted to install the water pump to drain the condensation from the furnace into the washing basin. The chimney lining was not installed that day because it was too cold. That will be done on a day when it's a bit warmer, and I'll update this post once that is completed. I like Husky because of their quick response, knowledgeability of energy incentive programs, reliable quotes and competency.
