Fireplace Install

Courteous, knowledgeable and Proficient Customer Service is a priority with The Comfort Shoppe. The installers were friendly and quite efficient. The guys installed my new fireplace in no time at all and other than a beautiful fireplace they left no trace of ever being here. From my initial contact with Glen at The Comfort Shoppe to the finish of my install I was and am extremely pleased with the service. I highly recommend Glen and his crew!!!

Thanks Sheila for the positive review in your case we were required to narrow our choices down in order for us to use a spare masonry
flue in your brick chimney. The Heatilator 3732SBI is a great priced product with special venting considerations allowing us to do this . Enjoy your new fireplace

A/C install

Awesome customer service from initial call right up to installation. The installers were courteous, knowledgeable and professional: My small kids even loved them!

The price was fair and reasonable. I had booked my installation for a week after the initial consult. I got a phone call the next day saying they had time to do it that day! The job was clean and the A/C worked perfect right from the beginning. Great company to deal with especially if you want a Lennox unit.

air conditioning installation

I thought the service was pretty prompt and I was readily attended to. I did shop around and the ComfortShoppe matched the competition's price. Also I had a humidifier installed.

I felt that the guys who came to install the unit communicated well and we're through. They left no mess.

Overall I am pleased with the service.

Gas fireplace installed

The installation was good. The preparation was done by us as we wanted the fire flush to the wall and off the floor so a box was made by us before the installers arrived. The help we had at the showroom was excellent. Ray explained everything to us beforehand and the fireplace looks really good and will heat our big basement this winter if we have another bad winter like last year. I would recommend this company. They were recommended to us and we are happy with the customer care.

air conditioner

I was very impressed with the whole experience. The men came on time to do the installation. They were courteous and friendly. The did an excellent job installing the air conditioner. They were carefully on the carpets and they cleaned everything up in the basement. Before they left Jared took time to explain how the system worked and what to do with it when winter came. Very satisfied with Comfort Shoppe.

Humidifier Install

I had 18-20% humidity in the house. I called the comfort Shoppe, and the woman who answered the phone recommended a Lennox Humidifier. The install was quick, the guy who came had a different name tag than the comfort shoppe Logo (it was sub contracted out). The guy left a mess for me to clean up. As it turned out the humidifier didn't work. I called them 25days after the install and they said " there is nothing we did, you might have installed an undersized unit". Funny since they are the ones that sold it to me. Then they had me trouble shoot it myself, with some one instructing me what to do over the phone. If I was a licence HVAC technician I would not have called them. Ridiculous!! Then they finally sent someone out to take a look 2 months later. He checked everything out and said, there is definitely a problem with the furnace pressures but I dont know why. He poke a lot of holes checking pressure and temperatures, had his laptop out playing with the numbers, couldn't figure it out and left. He didnt patch any of the holes he made. I have heard from him since. This is the worst service I have ever had. The best part is, I was in the market for an A/C unit. They quoted me $3600, and were more concerned with booking me an appointment for the A/C, rather than fixing my Humidifier. So to this day, my humidifier still doesnt work (hard to tell exactly since its humid out) and My A/C was installed for $2000 by the furnace room. Nice guys!!

Hello Vince. Sorry for your frustrations with your humidifier. We installed the biggest Healthy Climate unit that is made at 17 gallons a day flow, so it is definitely not under sized.We have spoke a few times about your concerns with humidity and at the time of trying to figure things out, you were more then willing to try a few things yourself. If not we would have had someone out right away. When my tech did arrive to investigate, he placed two holes in the duct work to measure temperature rise and measure proper air flow. And after those measurements where taken he determined everything was working the way it was supposed to and you had a humidity reading of 45% in the house. Which is more then ideal. The temperature at this point was a little warmer, so my tech made a recommendation to have it looked at in the beginning of winter again at no charge. Which we will do.
And as for the a/c, here at The Comfort Shoppe we pride ourselves in installing top of the line equipment that is backed with great warranties, great performance and manufactures that stand behind there equipment. And that's hard to find for $2000.

Gas furnace and air conditioner installation

I was heating with an electric furnace and a heat pump. With the high cost of electricity and the severity of the winter I decided it was time to replace with a high efficiency gas furnace and rather than use the 14 year old heat pump as an air conditioner replace that as well. The Comfort Shoppe had installed and serviced the old system, always to my satisfaction so I called Glenn for his recommendation and a quote which I accepted. The installation people were very professional and efficient and, if anything, left the work area cleaner than when they started. I was given complete instructions on the operation of the system and assistance in registering the product. Since it has remained quite cool heating has been required. The new furnace has maintained a constant temperature throughout the house and is so quiet in operation I am not aware when it is operating. Thank you Glenn and the Comfort Shoppe people. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Thank You for the kind review Bill . The original system was installed by us and so that gives an idea of how long we have been around when we get the opportunity to replace older equipment with new stuff . That Lennox SLP 98 furnace is very cool and the I comfort thermostat that communicates with your smartphone is even cooler. Your better off on Natural gas as its much cheaper than the air source heat pump.
Enjoy your new smart furnace and ac

Purchasing two furnaces

It was a concern of mine to find a community based reputable dealer who could sell me a good quality furnace at a reasonable cost and provide a good maintenance service contract. “The Comfort Shoppe” without a doubt was my choice. I purchased two furnaces, one for my primary resident the other for my rental unit. Not only did they meet my expectations, but also provided suggestions to improve the efficiency of my rental unit’s heating duct system. I found the owner and staff were well informed and happy to answer any my questions. Any concerns were put to rest when I realized that The Comfort Shoppe works very close with its line of furnace manufacturers. When digging deeper into their policies, “The Comfort Shoppe” has a 24 hr. service for anyone in need of a service call, their own customers benefit from a ten-year limited warranty parts and labor conditional to an annual maintenance contract. In conclusion, their furnaces are not installed by outside contractors but to my satisfaction by Comfort Shoppe HVAC techs. To “The Comfort Shoppe” thank-you for a tremendous job well done!

Full HVAC Install

Wanted to convert from electric baseboard heating and ductless air conditioner to gas forced air heating and full house air conditioning , all in a crawl space – big job. I got a couple of quotes but chose Comfort Shoppe because the price was good (not the lowest), the start date was quick and the reviews on Home Stars were glowing. Glen’s team was hard-working , professional and a pleasure to have in my home. They were creative dealing with my small space and adapting to the surprises that always come with retrofit. I will happily recommend them to my neighbours.

Hi Cathy : Doing full installs in Wilmot Creek is always a challenge with the tight crawlspaces and limited room to work . However once done it does make the house a lot more comfortable especially in the winter and a lot cheaper getting off baseboard electric heat . Enjoy the Comfort from The Comfort Shoppe
