Almar Energy Group

Vittorio arrived when he promised, worked efficiently and explained everything he did. We are very pleased with his service.

Contacted them to remedy vibration in a split unit AC and heat pump. They quickly and correctly identified the problem (lack of rubber bushings) and told us that it is better to wait for spring, as fixing it in winter is much more expensive ($1500.00 versus $500.00) as the refrigerant is hard to deal with when it is below 15 degrees C outside.

They gave us the service call free of charge and we will be having them back in the spring to fix the problem.

These folks understand these split units and can quickly diagnose them. Highly recommend them!

Very happy with this company. In first conversation with Vittorio, he listened to my requests and told me what he thought was best. Very easy to communicate with him. He came by for a quick site inspection, reaffirmed the time expected for the job and we set the job date. He showed up on time, worked diligently to install 3 bathroom fan exhaust ducts in our attic and completed the job with appropriate roof venting. We feel very confident in his work. Quality is important to him and shows in his work. He is very knowledgeable and transparent in his pricing. We highly recommend him.

My 27 year old VanEE Trade 150 which I have run almost continuously for the past 7 years started screeching intermittently, so I suspected a motor bearing was giving way. Most contractors I called only offered to sell me a new unit, overselling improvements in technology. It's basically a fan with circuit board and some filters, so not sure how much more improvement there can be. Vittorio however prefered to try what I wanted: to fix or replace the motor. He scheduled a visit within a couple of days, and quickly removed the motor. Within 30 minutes he had a quote for a replacement, significantly less than what others had estimated. He however, was sure he could get it repaired at an even lower cost, and had done so by the same evening, when he returned and fitted it.

I am very happy with his service, he is knowledgeable and very easy to talk with, and he explained what he intended to do at every stage. His pricing is transparent, and he certainly does not try to over sell. Very neat, tidy and diligent in his work. I would certainly recommend him.

Got my furnace serviced in preparation for the winter. Vittorio took his time to do a professional job and made many good recommendations along the way.

Wow, first-off, let me just state that Vittorio from Almar Energy went WAY above and beyond expectations on the job he did for me. I'll gladly seek him out for future jobs of a similar nature, and wouldn't have any reservations recommending him to my family and friends.

So my story is as follows: I put in a service request on Homestars on a weekend to get quotes to relocate some HVAC ducts on my basement ceiling since I was finishing my basement. I had one large air return duct running down the center of my ceiling that I wanted to move, and several smaller vent ducts in room corners "wrapping under" the ceiling joists that all would have required drywall "boxes" had they not been moved/hidden. Vittorio responded almost immediately despite it being a weekend, and was responsive to all my questions. When he came over a few days later to take a look in person, he proposed what I thought was an innovative idea to relocate the large air return duct along one side of a structural i-beam running parallel to it. He understood we were on a budget, and quoted us a price within our expectations for the job. At the same time, we also expressed a desire to hide some of the smaller vent ducts in the corners, and discussed some options for how these could be done, but neither side really committed to adding these to the "official" job at the time. Well, after getting a second opinion and price quote, we decided to hire Vittorio since he assured us he would keep the cost within our budget, and Vittorio certainly made good on this promise in the end. But what really stood out for me was that he stuck to our agreed budget while putting in a lot more extra time and effort to ensure our desires were met! He ended up relocating the large return duct along the i-beam as discussed, hiding 3 separate corner ducts (removing the need to create boxes around them in our finished basement), helping me extend a basement vent from the ceiling level to the nearest wall and down to within 18 inches of the floor level to be both energy efficient and within code (teaching me how to work with duct materials to be able to do this myself for two additional vents), and otherwise just talking to me and providing me with free consultation services on a variety of questions I had (e.g. sealing ducts with mastic for efficiency, how to avoid negative air pressure buildup in furnace room, wood stud quality, etc.) relating to finishing my basement. He ended up staying late the last day in order to get the job done to meet our desires despite having a 3-hour drive home and kept his word to charge us no more than the agreed-upon price. Talk about incredible value and commitment. It was obvious to me that Vittorio cared about his craft and was willing to put in extra work and effort to do a quality job. I was happy to give him a healthy tip despite our budget, and again, would gladly recommend his services for anyone looking for quality and commitment. @Vittorio, thanks again for the amazing job you did in our basement!

Vittorio went above and beyond on the job. He cares about your home and takes care of it like it is his own. He takes the time to teach you and explain the options. He isn't looking to rip you off since you buy the parts with his advice directly from the supplier and he doesn't make any commission on it. He takes his time and does things properly to ensure the job only needs to be done once and to make it easier for the next person (if anyone else needs to service the unit/parts). He is easy to work with and very direct and polite. I'm honoured he chose to work in my home and I'm glad I met this honest and dedicated professional. If he agrees to do work for you, consider yourself lucky!

Very satisfied. Will have him back to do more work on my main floor renovation. Thank you Homestars.

We 100% recommend Almar Energy Group to anyone and will use them for any future services. They were very professional, super detail oriented, and went above and beyond to complete the job.

We needed an emergency service of our ductless air conditioner. Almar responded to our request within 20 mins and was able to help us service the unit to get it back up and running.
