Furnace Maintenance

I have never received such poor customer service from a business as I recently did with Boonstra’s Hamilton location. I booked a furnace maintenance appointment with them as a first time customer because they are a well known company so I thought they’d be a safe bet. I couldn’t have been more mistaken. They called me the morning they were supposed to arrive and cancelled the appointment. They couldn’t reschedule it sooner than 3 weeks later. The appointment was booked for the afternoon but my husband decided to book the morning off work so I called Boonstra a week prior to the 2nd appointment and asked to switch it to the morning. The girl said it was no problem and the time had been changed to between 8am-12 pm. The morning of the appointment I called at 9:30 to ask what time my husband could expect them and the girl said “you’re appointment is not until this afternoon”. I explained to her that I had changed the time a week ago and she said she would look into it and call me right back. An hour later I still had not heard back so I called again. Of course this time I got a different person and she told me the same thing. She did however call back and said that the technician would be there in the morning and she guaranteed me that he would be done by 1:30 pm as I told her that my husband has to leave by 1:30 pm. At 12:20 pm I received a call saying the technician was on his way and would be there in 15 minutes. An hour later (at 1:30 pm) we called back as no one had shown up still. This person told me he would be there in 30 minutes. She apologized as I
told her my husband had taken the morning off work and now he was going to have to take the afternoon off also. She told me she would have the district manager call me but of course, I never heard from anyone. The technician did finally show up at 2:00 pm without a word of apology and without leaving the promised “free” furnace filter for the inconvenience of them cancelling our first appointment. Not that I cared about it but still another broken promise. I really expected more from this company since the reviews are mostly very good. However, that was my first and last experience with them. I have told many coworkers, family and friends about this terrible experience and they were also shocked and said they would never use them. Dec. 3, 2021t

Furnace maintenance

Andrew was great. On time and always the professional. Furnace checked out fine as expected. He left the furnace room neat and tidy as he does everytime he visits. I told him l home to have a light installed in the furnace room for his next visit in the spring.

Furnace and AC Installation

Changed the review because of 1 good thing about Boonstra - its technicians. Omar and Corey resolved the issue amicably; the earlier technicians (Andrew and Jimmy) were also good, friendly, and resolved our initial issues.

I am still taking away 1 Star because of the Sales Process that lacked transparency; plus some experiences with appointments not met and rescheduled by more than 3 weeks + some lack of and poor communication from Call Center left a bad taste.

Furnace and A/C Maintenance

The cost is $22 per month for two annual inspections and other benefits. I have had Boonstra maintain my furnace and A/C unit for 7 years now. When you pay monthly they also provide filters for the year. Just had Jeff in to do the pre winter maintenance. He was very personable and very thorough. He explained everything well. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeff and Boonstra.

Furnace repair

We called for a furnace repair. Our technician was Mart and he was professional and efficient. He took his time to explain what was wrong with our furnace and how he would repair it. We appreciate the great service given. Highly recommend Boonstra and Mart.

Bi-annual furnace/air conditioning maintenance

Vince, the maintenance technician was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and pleasant servicing our furnace. The service call is performed bi-annually to prevent any malfunctions during the 4 seasons.
Boonstra's call center is a little frustrating because they telephone you prior to your scheduled appointment and commit to a time for the service technician to arrive but that never happens and throws your entire day off or basically your day gets wasted.
Aside from this fact I would strongly recommend Boonstra for your heating and air conditioning needs, they provide excellent expertise and value for dollar spent.

Replacement of split air conditioner

Afer 4 visits, over several weeks and some date confusion on the part of Boonstra, we replaced the AC (only 6 years old and purchased through Boonstra) with a different model. The 2nd AC technician as well as the installer Matteo, were knowledgeable and respectful.
