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!

Recent Furnace Maintenance

Distinct installed our new furnace in 2014 and theyve been servicing it ever since. Right out of the gate we were very impressed with the owner Nate, who knows the business inside and out and will steer you in the best direction. Our longtime technician, Ed has also been amazing to work with. Distincts staff truly are the best educated and most attentive youre likely to get. Top notch service all around.

Annual Furnace & AC Maintenance

In October 2019 we replaced our furnace and air conditioner using the services of another local HVAC company but we encountered a number of installation and warranty issues. In early 2021 we contacted Distinct Heating, another York dealer, and Distinct were able to correct the installation and warranty issues.

Since that time we have relied exclusively on Nates team at Distinct for our annual furnace and AC servicing. The work performed by Distinct is always very professional, done right the first time and their pricing is very competitive. Our only regret is not having gone with Nate and his Distinct team do the initial supply and installation. Without any reservations we would recommend Distinct Heating & Cooling for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and servicing.

Yearly Furnace Service

This is the second year we have used Distinct Heating & Cooling for our yearly furnace tune up. Easy to book and I like the text message reminder. They also send a photo of the technician so you know who to expect when you open the door. Ed has serviced our furnace twice now. He is prompt, friendly and professional.

Furnace maintenance

Distinct installed 2 new high efficiency furnaces for us 13 years ago and we have had them do the annual maintenance and service ever since. Jordan did it this year and we are very happy with his professional approach - a message letting us know he was on the way, timely arrival and meticulous attention to detail. he did not replace filters that were still OK and explained what he did. We will see Distinct next fall.

furnace service

We had Aidan out today to check our furnace for the winter months ahead. He was very personable and knowledgeable and arrived on time as always. He made several recommendations and let us know exactly what was happening with the furnace that his company installed 4 years ago. He also checked our smoke/CO2 alarms and let us know he could replace them for us next time he will be here for service. We have found Distinct to be an absolutely amazing company, from the installation to maintenance, and have happily recommended them to all our friends. They offer 5 star service every day!

Furnace Service - New Homeowner

We recently bought a home and wanted to make sure our furnace was ready for winter. Day of appointment I was notified via text and email saying our tech was on the way. I love that they included a picture of them so you know who to expect. Ed came and was able to answer all our questions. As new homeowners we had lots of questions, and he took the time to explain things to us. He serviced our furnace and was able to troubleshoot an issue with one of the wires in our thermostat. Once he was done, he gave us a run-down of what he saw, what he recommends, and next steps. Definitely will book them again and hopefully we get Ed!

Thank you for leaving us such a kind 5 star review Meagan! We are grateful that you chose our company out of the many HVAC companies to choose from to help you make sure your furnace was ready for the winter!

We are happy to hear that you like our text and email notifications that let you know when our techs are on their way. It was important to us to include a picture of each technician and a short bio on them so you know who you are opening your door to. It's just an added peace of mind touch we are happy to offer our customers!

We also are happy to hear that you never felt rushed and that Ed took his time explaining everything to you. We love when our customers show interest in what we do and it helps our customers feel more comfortable and confident in how their systems work as well.

Our 30 point annual inspections are imperative to keep your system running safely and efficiently for you and also to find little things that may be wrong, like your thermostat wiring that he was able to fix for you!

We can make a note on your file that you would love to have Ed as your dedicated technician whenever possible as having that trust and building a relationship with our technicians is also very important to us!

Have a wonderful day and thank you again for leaving us such a kind review Meagan. We greatly appreciate it!
