Installation of tankless hot water heater

A Plus Air Systems installed my tankless hot water heater. From the in-home consultation to the final installation they were clean, friendly and efficient.

During the in-home consultation (before the install), the technician came by to measure and provided guidance on what the optimal location for the hot water tank would be. He worked with me to ensure that I was happy with the location and that (most importantly) it was technically feasible.

The installers were great too, they were clean and courteous. I asked them dozens of questions related to the tankless system and they passionately answered them. I realized throughout all the work done to my house over the years, if the trades people are passionate about their work they will without a doubt do a great job - and this was 100% evident in all my interactions with everyone at A Plus Air Systems, they love what they do and the quality of their work reflects this

RHEEM gas wather thankless and TRANE FURNACE

This is my experience
perfect installation, 29 September 2016
. They did not tell me the truth, when they sold me the water thankless.

It is not thru you will safe on gas and water bill.
My experience shows the gas and water bill did not change and it cost me more for the water bill.

This if the average time to get hot water.
We are just 2 persons in the house and we used
The water thankless was install September 29 2016

Compare
May/ aug 2015 we used 22 cubic meters 22.000 liters
may /aug 2016 we used 21.5 cubic meters 21.500 litters
May/ aug 2017 we used 25 cubic meters . 25.000 litters
May/aug 2018 we used 32 cube meter this is 32.000 litters

You have to wait over 45 second for the shower to be hot
and over 25 second for the sink faucet

but follow up for maintenance
it is not true
you do not have to use them to flush (clean) you water thankless
and your FURNACE to keep your warenty.

for the water thankless you could do your self if you fell capable to do it
or use anybody who do installation and maintenance for water thank
and for the FURNACE you just have to be sure it is a certify installer thechnitien, and they give you warranty work,
I pass 5 hours on the phone just to be sure. With Rheem USA office because they do not have Canadian office.

and the blue back wall i built my self if not they would install the thank direclty to the fondation.

Hi Dufour,

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience with your equipment. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our business so your feedback is always valuable to us.

In regards to your high water bill and issue, this could be an existing plumbing issue. It is possible your tankless system is too far away from your kitchen/bathroom but there is a remedy for this: You can have a plumber install a recirculation pipe. The science of tankless systems is something that is proven and it is designed for efficiency and cost savings. I highly suggest you consult a plumber as it is most likely that your problem is related to the plumbing in your home.

On our side, we will consult the manufacturer for more information. Those units are 95% efficient and as installers we are not involved in the product design and go with the design specs that Rheem markets on their product. As installers we go with the manufacturers rating, guidelines and their best practices for installation. I am really sorry to hear about your experience, please do not hesitate to give us a call to tell us more if we can assist in anyway. You can call our head office: 416-213-0303. Please ask for our technical manager, Shams.

Additional costs

My Trane furnace was installed by this company situated in Etobicoke in April 2016. Last October 2017 a flame sensor was replaced for a cost of $107 labor included. On Oct. 13, 2018 we had no heat. A technician determined that the vent motor was faulty. Provided me with a temporary fix. Cost $141. Called this company on Oct. 15 and was advised that it would cost an additional $180 to install the motor which is under warranty. I asked why that was not done on Oct.13. Advised that they would need to pick it up as they do not carry them. Understandable but why could the technician not pick it on Oct. 13 and then install the motor at that time. I would have gladly paid $180 at that time. What a money grab!

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience, and thank you so much for taking out the time to give us valuable feedback. Unfortunately, parts do go faulty sometimes and our servicemen must place an order with the manufacturer or pickup speciality parts from suppliers who are not always open during after-hour no-heat calls. Since the time of your review, we have been working with our manufacturers, suppliers, and office staff to make sure that a problem like this never happens again. Most of our no-heat service calls are fixed the same day/night in one visit, sorry to hear about this special case. We are always looking for ways to improve so your review is very important to us. Please do not hesitate to give us a call and just further give us details on your experience, 416-213-0303.

Thank You,

AC install and furnace service

I have used this company for a new AC install which went exceedingly well. Because of that, I contacted the service for furnace issues and again was very happy with this service. They respond promptly to questions, issues and calls. They show up when they say they will. I have recommended this company to others with the same positive feedback from them. Will be my go to for products and service!!

furnace and central AC

Hello,
I hired A Plus in July to replace my heating furnace and a central air conditioner. I was very really very happy with the services provided. Their owner/manager Dave was always very prompt in responding to my emails/phone calls. He provided correct guidance/ recommendation. Also their quote was quite competitive and fairly reasonable. Dave’s boys did a fine job of installation. They were on time, very professional, and did a tidy job. The other advantage of hiring A Plus is that because they are Home depot certified contractors, you can avail of the Home Depot discounts and also make the payment through Home Depot credit card; it’s easy on your wallet as you don’t have to make a lump sum payment. Thank you Dave for the services provided and hope you will keep up your good reputation in future as well.

Trane air condition and furnace

I recently (July 2018) bought furnace and air condition from Home Depot. Those units had been installed by A Plus Air System (Farid and Jagdeep). They did it professionally and clean. So far the air condition is running well. It is still summer and I don't use the new furnace yet.

I've never been treated so poorly by a service provider

5 years ago we purchased a new HVAC system for our house (furnace and central air) from Home Depot and A plus did the install. They were nice, we've had a maintenance plan with them since. Last week in the first heat wave of the summer the air conditioning wasn't working - it would turn on, barely cool air would come out of vents and it would shut itself off after anywhere from 5 to 20 mins. Our house never got below 28 on the ground floor and over 30 upstairs at the best of times and this was with all the blinds shut and curtains closed. So we called A plus first thing on Monday, explained what was going on and said we were also due for our annual maintenance call anyway. They said the soonest someone could come was Friday. On Thursday the company called and said they would have to cancel our appointment. My husband held firm and said no we'd waited all week, it wasn't working and they had to come. They said someone would come between 2 and 6pm. The technician came, and was surprised that we needed repair, apparently he was just there to do the annual servicing and couldn't do any repairs. He did his maintenance, cleaned filters and coils and said all the numbers were fine and it should be running. He was concerned that the AC kept turning off while he was here, he said all the components were working well and wondered if there was a breakdown between the thermostat and machine that was making it turn off too quickly. He called the office and reported all of this to them, he also made us a detailed list of all of his readings and stats from the unit. They said they would send out a repair technician the next day between 10 and 4. Luckily for us the humidity broke and we were able to open up the house and finally have some cool breezes and the best sleep we've had in over a week. Fast forward to 12pm today, technician calls and says he's 10 minutes out. He arrives and right off the bat it's bad. He walks in and is like your house feels nice and cool. Yes, because the heat wave is over and we have the windows open, the AC unit is turned off. My husband presents him with the list from the first technician and starts to explain all that has transpired. He is not listening and just keeps saying "your house is cool" and we have to keep pointing out that yes the heat wave broke and our windows are clearly open. We're concerned about the next heat wave. What was most concerning is that I start to notice he doesn't address me. When I do speak he speaks slowly like I couldn't possibly understand. I then realize he is mansplaining. Basically he says our unit is fine, says if there is another heat wave and it doesn't work then we can phone again and get another appointment. I have honestly never been treated this badly by a service provider and the kicker is we just purchased the “luxury maintenance plan” with them. So it's time to pay for the service call (he helpfully points out it's discounted because of the luxury plan) I hand him my credit card out of my pink wallet to pay and he turns with the invoice to my husband and says “I need your signature”! I was like “It’s my card, I’ll sign that." and off he goes. I was gobsmacked.

**Update
Our problem got fixed in the next heatwave - sure enough the same problem happened - after they read this review they were suddenly super eager to help and sent "their best guy" and he finally solved the problem - the pump that pumps water into the unit was not working hence the AC shutting itself off constantly. So I paid an additional fee to have that fixed ($169 plus tax maybe?)

Mimi from customer service also called to apologize. Which was great except she never said what the outcome was with the second technician - was he reprimanded? Did he receive training on how to talk to customers? Who knows!

But they have since called me repeatedly (twice yesterday alone!) asking me to please take down or edit this review as it would "really help them a lot". They've even called my husband on his cell to ask if he can please talk to me about it.

So here's my updated/edited review A Plus. I've upgraded them to 1 star for the 3rd technician who was super nice.

Hi Shana,

My name is Mansoor I have joined Aplus Air Systems recently focusing on customer experience. I am just reading and responding to some older reviews on homestars: First, I just wanted to apologize for your entire experience as it sounds very unpleasant what you went through. I understand that someone from our office called you to apologize but I just wanted to take the time out to respond to this review as well as just let you know that rather than requesting you to remove this review (which is never right to ask the customer to do so) I want to make it a valuable learning experience for our company and all the staff involved. I am glad the annual maintenances were great but I really dislike the way we handled the service when something went wrong. Since the time of this review, we have made an effort to train some of our maintenance technicians and cleaners such that they are equipped not only for maintenance but to handle breakdowns and repair as well. This was expensive for us but has paid off greatly as it reduces action time in getting a customer's equipment working again. It's unacceptable that a technician spoke to you that way and "mansplaining" is NEVER EVER right, some of our most valuable employees are women who are incredibly knowledgable in the HVAC and Contracting industry. Since then, we flagged this technician and the company has enrolled him for several training programs for customer service (two in-house training programs, one industry specific one, and one webinar on customer service from Lynda.com). Again, sorry for your experience and thank you for the valuable feedback, I will make sure something like this never happens in the future.

Thanks,
Mansoor

Thermo heated floor system

After speaking to other companies I decided based on knowledge and price “A Plus Air” was the only company I would trust with my complicated thermo floor heating system upgrade. They arrived on time , put down dropsheets and completed The heating manifold (picture 1)in one day. I have appreciated the easy to use floor system that warms the entrance of house that was my outside porch before a big Reno . Thanks “A Plus Air “ for a job well done

Replaced furnace

My furnace was over 20 years old and needed replacing. A Plus Air is very efficient, clean and the furnace was installed in the time frame that they said it would be. Totally satisfied with the service that was provided by A Plus Air, from start to finish. I highly recommend them. It was a very pleasant experience doing business with them.
