Heating system installation

After 15 years of dealing with inferior system that was to save us money but ended up costing us thousands in replacement parts we were referred to Shift Air. A call to Brent brought him to our home for an evaluation within hours. I found Brent to be very knowledgeable even over the phone and upon assessing our problem came up with a solution. He and his crew were very professional, clean and courteous. We are now enjoying the benefits of a York furnace. ThanksShiftAir

replaced 2 furnaces

Brent is a really great guy. Very competitive prices and he said it would take a day and it took a day. He went above and beyond to deal with the home retro rebate program for me. I'd recommend Shift Air Mechanical as they did a great job and the work passed inspection without any problems.

New furnace and hot water heater

Purchasing a house in “the original condition” just before the winter brought us an inevitable task to change the furnace and the hot water heater. After some internet research and few calls around we decided to try Shift Air Mechanical Ltd. and our experience with this company was just excellent.
The owner, Brent McQuade, came for a free estimate visit after a couple days of our initial call. (He came actually 5 minutes earlier as was agreed so we said to each other: “This looks like a good start”). Brent gave us a complete explanation what everything needs to be done and also recommended the furnace what he believes would suit to our house the best. (Actually, not the most expensive one.)
Then we had to wait for a few more days until he put together all necessary hardware. And then the morning of the day “D” came. Brent and his crew were just amazing and with all drilling for new vents and exhausts and fitting the new furnace to the old duct system at 3 pm everything was done.
We would like to recommend Brent and his company to anyone. From the first call to the handing of the invoice the whole deal was conducted in highly professional but friendly manner, all appointments were scheduled to fit our work schedules and the quality of work is superb.
One more thing, have you called Brent yet?

Hi Nick & Martina. Thanks for giving us your installation for your furnace and hot water tank. We knew going in that your space was really tight and that it was going to be a bit of a different install. But after we had our first meeting, We knew everything was OK. We were able to complete everything in a timely manner and I was really happy with the way that the install turned out. Thanks for the great experience and I hope that if you have any issues that you feel free to call us again. Thanks

Air Conditioning Install

I live in a townhouse with strict rules about noise when it comes to air conditioners. I explained this to Brent and he sent me some information on different types of high efficiency quiet air conditioners that I could present to my board for approval. This information was very helpful and I was quickly approved. Brent came in and installed my unit, he was professional and effiecient. His price was very reasonable as well which was nice. I have even called him with questions and he is able to explain everything to me. I have reccomended him to my friends and family.

New Furnace

I had problems with my furnace for about 5-6 months, and had communicated with Brent during this time via email/phone for a new furnace. He came over for a quote, and was very professional and honest about the work that needed to be done. Brent was understanding with the financial situation that I was in, and never pushed me into getting my furnace replaced. He was extrememly patient with me, and when the time was right, Brent still made time to come over again to look at the furnace for a quote. He provided me with a very reasonable price that worked for the both of us. Brent`s work was quick and efficient. After the job was complete, he did a great job with the cleanup and even took the old furnace away. The furnace that he installed is spectacular! It`s a mid efficiency furnace that he found, and one that doesn`t make a lot of noise and very efficient. It`s the best money spent! I`ll definitely call Brent again when it`s time to get my hot water tank replaced.

Furnace replacement

"I normally don't sleep very well the night before a job like this..." Owner Brent of Shift Air Mechanical shared this with me after replacing my broken down furnace. And after experiencing his work, I can understand why he has problems sleeping: He cares too much. "Competent", "thorough", "resourceful", "reasonably priced", "honest" could all describe Shift Air and Brent, but more than anything, the guy "cares". Cared that I had no heat when my furnace quit on me during the holidays in minus 20 degree weather (appalled when company that 1st responded to my emergency left my family with no heat overnight), cared enough to forgo his New Years Eve plans, wake up early New Years day and grind all day until my family had heat again. And during the process was able to point out deficiencies in the prior installation and rectify them during his install. Rarely do you find Mechanical companies that are BOTH excellent at what they do AND reasonably priced... Thanks for caring Shift Air.

Installed Air Conditioning Unit

I accepted Brent's bid for my Air Conditioning install because he was knowledgeable about the equipment and city regulations. His workmanship is very tidy. I did a lot of research online in regards to product and why so many A/C units fail. Ultimately it's the result of a poor quality install, so qaulity of install was my priority. His price was reasonable and he didn't try to up sell me a unit.
