Air Conditioner Failure while House-Sitting
We're house sitting my wife's mother's place in Markham and the air conditioning broke down.
With her mom unreachable, and planning to sell her home in year, the pressure was on to find a reasonable repair for what seemed to be sudden coolant loss or other major compressor failure.
Not knowing where to turn, as we have never yet found a good HVAC contractor, we turned to Homestars.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Lou, the owner of Dave White Heating. I am a huge fan of the show Holmes on Holmes. Like Mike Holmes, Lou learned the trade from his father, and clearly `loves the job`. Lou epitomises old fashioned work ethics, professionalism and customer service. To top it all off, he`s a genuine nice guy.
Lou willingly offered to come see us the next day, even though it meant he would have to work past 8:30pm. He quikcly diagnosed the likely cause to be a faulty capacitor, and returned promptly the next afternoon with a replacement. The replacement capacitor did the trick, and fixed the AC for only $200.
Most HVAC contractors that are more motivated by profit, or who don`t love the job enough to learn to do it right, would almost certainly have told us to replace the compressor, which would have cost more than $2,000.
You simply won`t find a better HVAC contractor, or a nicer guy than Lou. We are planning a completely new HVAC system and ductwork replacment this summer - and will call on Lou.
We give Lou our highest possible recommendation
