Install Garage Heater

Bought a never used garage heater that looks the same as a new $1000 one. Paid $275 off Kijiji and then saw Air Centrals ad on Kijiji and had them out for a quote , Tim was personable " a nice guy", he had same price as other companies. Because I had so many other companies out, I started to confuse what and how exactly I believed the job would be finished and through the process I made comment to what I expected and he said "You Assume Alot" The quality of the 50 feet of HARDLINE gas line looks good, I thought more of it was going to be hidden inside the walls(the reason I paid more for hard pipe). Tim came out to trouble shoot the furnace after the installers couldn't get it going- it would cycle but no heat. He replaced the circuit board for $250- It heats fine now. I don't like how noisy the mounting system is that they used- most guys I talked to said they'd put an L bracket on both sides and mount to the ceiling. TIM's install uses a pair of rods and track install that vibrates and buzzes alot when the unit is blowing heat.

I then got a new $300 furnace from a buddy and asked for a furnace swap quote and to install the 10 year old furnace from my basement into a loft space and add new dusting. Tim's quote was around $4400- I told him that price didn't seem right to me after just paying $1500 for one furnace that needed $800- $1000 of gas line depending who you talk to. I called another furnace installer off Kijiji and they quoted me half at $2200 and proposed even more metal work that Tim's quote included.
I like Tim and the team, I'd recommend them.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,500.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
After they got the furnace working, they called for payment, but no one has asked me if I'm satisfied with the install. Call your customers and ask if they are satisfied.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
I suggest you get a few quotes before deciding and would be good to confirm what and how it will be done.

Furnace installation

I found Air Central on Kijiji. They were one of 4 companies that I contacted for estimates to replace two old furnaces with high efficiency furnaces. I found Tim Kolm who is the owner and did the estimate to be very personable and explained the installation process very well. His price was very fair. Installation was done by John and Jason and they were very good as well. I spotted a couple of problems with the install and John fixed them immediately. Pride in workmanship was very evident.
Update - city inspector came by on Dec 19. He was impressed by the installation and said the quality of work was very good.

Approximate cost of services:
$8,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Not much -- I thought they were great.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Do your research on-line before installation so when you are getting estimates you know what questions to ask.
