Panasonic ductless heat pump & Tankless water heater

Dan did a thorough assessment of my older heat pump and provided me with some options. Once I decided on replacing the system, Brendan took measurements and also took his time answering all my questions (including follow-up questions by phone!). I feel happy with the Panasonic unit I purchased. A few days later, Nate and Spencer came to install the ductless heat pump system . They arrived on time, were very professional and worked for hours to install the new ductless. I really appreciate their great communication throughout the entire installation process and I love that they cleaned up after themselves and swept the floor! I would highly recommend them and their great team! Thank you.

Boiler and Panasonic multi zone ductless system

I would highly recommend Novel Care for any air conditioning or furnace needs. I am a repeat customer because I was impressed with the work they did previously. In this repair, Nate was professional, on-time, knowledgeable and clearly explained his diagnosis and what was required to get it up and running. He definitely has the customer's interests in mind - very fair and did a great job.

Honesty & Professionalism Lacking

Great at selling you new products. Not so good when it comes to after sales service and providing you with competent service technicians.

I purchased a new Napoleon central air conditioning unit from Novel Care in July 2020. I am required to use Novel Care for annual maintenance of the unit to maintain my extended warranty with them. They completed the first annual service in April 2021 and the a/c stopped working in May 2021. They attempted to repair the unit on May 14th; they topped off the coolant and added sealant to the system (so they say). The a/c broke down again on May 28th. While I was promised by Novel Care head office that they would do a nitrogen test to identify where the coolant was leaking, this was not done. The same technician simply topped up the coolant and added more sealant. The unit broke down for the 3rd time in June. Again, even though I was promised by Novel Care head office that the technician would do a nitrogen test, the same technician arrived and said that he was going to try (for the third time) to top up the unit with coolant and add sealant. When I stated that I was promised a proper diagnosis via a nitrogen test, he said that “they don’t do that.” For which I responded, every other competent HVAC company does that! He stumbled across the location of the leak. A few days later the installation crew came to repair the leak. The unit has been running fine since then.

I did not receive either professional or competent servicing of my a/c unit. A problem that should have taken one visit to diagnosis took four visits to correct and cost me time and money. Worse yet, while they did not deliver on their promises, I have no confidence in the trustworthiness of Novel Care’s staff. I took the time to put my concerns in a letter to the President dated July 6th, 2021. Over two months has passed and I have yet to receive a response. That says a lot about the company. I now have a new HVAC service provider that has provided fantastic service. What a refreshing change!

Hello Mike,
Unfortunately, you feel that the service provided by us was unsatisfactory. As you mentioned that we did do the maintenance, and the a/c stopped working, we did come to your aid like every good service provider every time the A/c has had a manufacturing issue.
We did not once hesitate in sending our technician for the servicing. We visited you on 6th April for the maintenance, 14th May, 28th May, 29th June for the issues, and finally 30th June, after which the issue was permanently solved.
So as you yourself mentioned, we came every time to help and sort the issue. We did not leave you high and dry, nor did we refuse to provide you with the service.
You mentioned it costing time and money, we did not charge you for a single visit other than the maintenance (the 1st visit) itself, and as for time, the same amount of time has been invested by us into you, our customer. We don’t consider it a waste, but our responsibility is to come to your aid and provide you with the best. Every situation takes time to assess; we apologize that it wasn’t quick enough for your liking.
We would have appreciated it if you had given us a call regarding your dissatisfaction. Your letter to the President could have been a phone conversation, and not every time do the emails reach the inbox. We would have been glad to address this personally.

Maintenance & Cleaning Of Mitsubishi Ductless A/C

In 2017, NovelCare installed 2 Compressors & 5 Units
of Mitsubishi Ductless A/C & on May 11/2021,
Lloyd came out to Clean & Service it.
Lloyd did an excellent Job : on time/very polite/very thorough& meticulous. He is a pleasure to deal with
& I would highly recommend Lloyd from NovelCare.
Lloyd also was very helpful with a few other concerns I had & went beyond the call of duty.
NovelCare is very fortunate to have such a great Employee. I hope I can get Lloyd again the next time my A/C needs Cleaning. Thank you NovelCare & Lloyd. Anne from Dufferin & Bloor Toronto

New Combi Boiler and Ductless AC installation

Professional, honest, respectful! I highly recommend! They took extreme care to protect my home. They worked as a team and I barely knew they were there. Easy to communicate with and I will be calling them for all of our mechanical needs from now on.

Amazing Service! Job Done RIGHT!

From the amazing sales consultation with great options I was able to make a very informed decision and get EXACTLY what we needed in the house for a ductless AC solution!
The installers were super helpful in how to best install for our house, very clean and friendly and it was all done before I knew it and didn't even know they were here! A great investment in a company that clearly values customers and making them happy with a great investment in our home for years to come! Thanks Novel Care for EVERYTHING! Highly recommended!!

New Instalation off Furance, Air Conditioner and Tankless water heater

Novel care installed new HVAC ( Furnace, air Conditioner, humidifier, tankless water heater)system in our home. They did a great job on the install. very professional- installation and clean, They took the time to explain how the furnace worked and gave us all documentation. The system came with a 10 year parts and labor warranty. To my knowledge, no one in the industry offers this long a warranty, I would definitely recommend them.

Panasonic mini split ductless air conditioning

The advice and direction received not only resolved the problem I had within the home but the solution and install of a complete new Multi zone ductless air conditioner system for our home was put together incredibly well. The prompt response from the first call were done with direction and understanding through out, and I would especially like to complement Mattia and his help for an amazing Job. I would highly recommend Novel care for anyone who is looking for quality work at reasonable cost.

Panasonic Multi zone ductless air conditioner/ Heat pump

I contacted novel care because I was in need of a ductless air conditioner . I submitted my quote online and was contacted very quickly and set up a free in-home estimate. Lana was the operator and she helped me out a lot with setting up this, and further, requests.

Dan performed my estimate and quoted me a reasonable price and we set up a service date for the replacement.

Mark and Ryan both contacted me prior to the installation time to let me know they were on their way. They arrived a bit earlier than I thought they would and they performed the replacement and other services very quickly.

I am very impressed with the service I got from novel care. They will be my go-to company for HVAC needs and I highly recommend them.
