Dan Newman

Dan is a good guy and is very eager to help you and your family stay warm in the winter months! Thanks again Dan for working outside in -20 windchill getting the oil flowing!!

Ian MacArthur

Just did a woot woot about my car, now the furnace. First thoughts were the fuel pump quit ($425) until he heard the tank was just filled - turned out we ran out of fuel and Dan caught it. Saved us the cost of a new pump.

Laura Pate

Dan installed central air conditioning for me yesterday. Yay! He was very easy to work with, great attention to detail, honest, and professional. Cost of the work very fair, and I will absolutely work with him again for service work

ODP / refrigerant handling certification

Required to legally purchase and handle refrigerant. Relevant to any AC or heat pump work.

Manufacturer certification for the equipment being installed

Not a legal requirement, but many manufacturer warranties are only valid when installed by a certified dealer. Ask before assuming you have a ten-year warranty.

Questions worth asking

  • Will you perform a heat loss and heat gain calculation, and can I see it?
  • Who on the crew holds the TSSA gas certificate, and at what level?
  • Is the equipment warranty conditional on registration or on installer certification?
  • What exactly is covered by your labour warranty, and for how long?
  • Does this quote include removal and disposal of the old equipment?
