Rino in Toronto

Probably the best money I've ever spent on my house! We've lived in our approx 3400 sq ft home for 16 years, and always had issues of insufficient airflow to the 2nd floor. Other HVAC experts said this was the case in all 2 storey homes. I had even added insulation to attic, added thermal film to windows, and switched to aluminum roof, all to help alleviate the hot 2nd floor in the summer. It was also a freezer in our basement when the AC was on. Victor was very professional at consult visit. Made me turn on AC and went through house with FLIR infrared camera looking for cold spots behind the walls. Very quickly found some disconnected duct branches. My wife was skeptical about the safety of the material they use to "gum up" the holes in the ductwork. But was eventually satisfied with the answers provided. It was a long and difficult visit for them when they came to do the work. I belive 8 ducts were disconnected and drywall was required to correct the issues. According to Victor's final analysis, we were losing over 750cfm of air in our HVAC system! That was about 50% air loss prior to his sealing. After the Aeroseal work, we are down to 15cfm air loss, a 98% reduction. It is now comfortable on all floors of our house. I noticed the difference very quickly...our old AC unit actually shut off (it reached temperature) on a hot day in May 2018. We then went ahead with a complete HVAC replacement (our old furnace and AC were 16 years old) and switched to a variable speed blower. The combination of the Aeroseal treatment and new furnace has made my home a very comfortable and efficient place to live for the foreseeable future. Thank you Victor, for going the extra mile with my house!

Great overall experience! Our old furnace and AC was original from new home purchase and had reached 16 years in age. Blower on furnace was starting to go, so rather than keep it running another year or two and worry we would have no heat or AC when needed, decided to replace everything before in a pressure situation. Andrew Kojola, the salesman for Spring Home was great, answered my many questions, and was competitive in pricing. I did a lot of research and had at least 4 quotations on various configurations...spent a lot of time deciding between single stage, dual stage, or variable appliances. In the end, it was going to be only about $900 more to go with both variable furnace and AC compared to dual-stage. My research concluded to go with variable for the long term, and we do not intend on moving from our home - at least not for the next 15+ years. Went with entire Trane system: 100BTU Variable Furnace , XV20i variable AC 4 ton (that thing is a beast!), THUMD500A powered humidifier, and the XL1050 smart thermostat for our 3600 sq ft house. Tiger and Mike did a great job installing. Didn't have to cut drywall to replace our existing plastic venting (to upgrade to new code) - managed to vent out a shorter route to exterior wall. The only blip in the whole install was during the final install inspection when the humidifier was running on a hot humid day. Turned out they had wired it incorrectly and had it fixed within 10 minutes. The variable blower on the furnace is great, quiet and efficient. It's worth to note that I also invested in having all of our ducts sealed by Aeroseal just prior to new furnace and AC (I highly recommend that too). That made a huge difference in my house just to start with. The new HVAC system from Spring Home is awesome for the last week, and I hope it yields significant energy savings in the years to come.
