We have worked with the Aire Max team on a number of occasions for both furnace and air conditioner projects and would happily work with them again in the future and recommend them to others. Last week, they installed a new AC unit for us, and did a fantastic job. They are knowledgeable, professional, friendly and punctual, and we can trust them to always offer a fair price for their work.

Because of their already excellent reviews, we contacted Aire Max to have a look at the blower motor in our furnace. Between the time we made the appointment and the time they arrived at our place, our hot water heater also gave out. When Max arrived at our place, he was more than happy to look at our hot water heater in addition to our furnace. Given that both our hot water heater and furnace were 12+ years old, we decided to replace both rather than repair them. There was no pressure or up-selling from Max that lead us down this path. Max was able to schedule us in to replace our hot water heater 2 days after his visit, and our furnace (+ humidifier & thermostat) 6 days after that. Max and his team were knowledgeable and hard working, putting in a 7 hour day on a Sunday to replace our furnace. They were respectful, polite and courteous in our home and left the work site neat and tidy. Both the furnace and hot water heater are working perfectly, and we plan on calling Max and his team back in the spring to replace our A/C.

We have done a number of renovations in our home over the last 5 years, and needed our ducts cleaned. We chose Dave's Duct Cleaning because of their many positive reviews on HomeStars - they certainly lived up to their reputation! The two technicians that came to our home were professional and courteous, careful and respectful in our home, and did a thorough job cleaning our ducts. They took the time to explain what they were doing, gave us options to think about for ducts that were difficult to access, and followed up with a set of before and after photos, showing their work. During the cleaning process, one of the technicians remarked that the fan and panel inside our furnace was caked with drywall dust. He let us know that it would be wise to have our furnace technician come in to clean it, but also let us know that he could do it on the spot for an extra charge. He was not at all pushy with this upsell, and left the decision entirely up to us. Because we were already impressed with them and their work, and the extra charge was more than reasonable, we decided to proceed and have them clean the furnace as well. The photos attached to this review will show you what a difference these guys made. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for this type of work.

Look no further, this is the team you want to work with for your project! After discovering a crack in the foundation wall in our basement, we contacted the True North Underpinning team after reading numerous positive reviews on Homestars. From our initial conversations with them, until the end of the project, Daniel and his team were extremely courteous, professional, helpful and thoughtful. They were genuinely interested in doing things the right way, involving us in every step of the project to make sure we were well informed and happy with their solutions. We originally expected that we would be doing a standard three stage underpinning of our basement. But after some investigation, Daniel’s team discovered that one corner of our house was being supported by steel beams on top of concrete piles, and that the house was originally constructed as such because it was built over top of an old farm well or silo. Because there was no solid earth within the walls of the well / silo, Daniel’s team could not proceed with standard underpinning approaches for that part of the house. They worked with K.H. Davis Engineering and Techno Metal Post to find a solution that involved helical piles, a rebar cage, a concrete grade beam, a cathodic corrosion protection system and a whole lotta grout. The short of all that is that this team is highly capable of dealing with non-standard and challenging scenarios, and will put in the time and effort to solve the problem correctly. Josh was the foreman on our project. He is incredibly friendly, a hard worker and really knows his stuff. He led the team each day through all phases of our project, and is passionate about his work. The whole team were courteous towards and respectful of our neighbors, cleaning up their equipment each day and also hosing down our shared driveway and sidewalk. The team were also great with our young kids, who were excited by all of the tools, trucks and equipment on site. We are so happy with the finished product. We went from a 6 foot to an 8 foot basement, upgraded all our basement plumbing, installed interior water proofing with weeping tile and a sump pump, and have a nice, clean and level basement floor. On top of all that, we have the peace of mind knowing that our house is now structurally sound thanks to the great work that Daniel, Josh and the team put in. While it’s nice to have our basement finished, and our house put back together, we actually miss having the guys working here every day. We would highly recommend the True North Underpinning to anyone looking to take on an underpinning project. You will be extremely happy that you hired them to do the job.
