Belyea Bros Limited reviews (628)

Our boiler broke in October, leaving us without heat. Belyea was one of the companies I called to discuss repair/replace options. I dealt with David, who was professional, knowledgeable, and really took the time to discuss options and pros / cons. We decided to replace the unit, Belyea pricing was very competitive, and the team that did the complicated job was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for heating/cooling work.

We hired Belyea Brothers out of 5 other companies and upon recommendation by 2 of my relatives that have used them. Belyea was always the front-runner out of my choices but I wanted to do my due diligence because the amount I am spending and the skill and experience required for installation of a boiler - I've read horror stories of not getting consistent heat or hot water. Of the companies I met with, only 1 other company I was comfortable with hiring however they were priced much more. I was met by Craig and we went over what I wanted out of the system and my plans down the road. He recommended a Veissmann Vitoden 100 with CombiPlus kit. In my research, I narrowed it down to this unit and I was happy that he recommended this. Craig also arranged with Enbridge to have my gas line piped to the house. On the day of installation, Belyea recommended a very good company to remove my old oil tank and cast iron boiler. Then shortly after that, Belyea's crew of Christian, Giovani, and 2 Jeffs came to run the gas line within my house. Christian discussed with me on the best solution of running the gas pipe from the outside into my basement and where the unit was to be installed. I was very happy with the crew on the first day. They described their work in detail and answered all my questions. Since this was a big job, Christian and Jeff came the 2nd day to setup and finish off the work on the Veissmann. They did an amazing job and the installation was nice and clean. When the job was finished, Steve, another salesperson came by to ensure I was happy with the service. They all went over what I need to know about running the unit and what to do ongoing. Overall, a very good experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I will be defiantly hiring Belyea again to remove my cast iron pipes when I plan to finish my basement.

The heating in our house was unbalanced; some rooms were too hot and others too cold. We suspected that a radiator had been removed by a previous owner, as there was no heating source in our dining room. We contacted Belyea and they were very professional from the start. David visited our house and reviewed the options with us. This made the decision easy to make. On the day of installation, the team arrived on time, and were very courteous. They set to work promptly, and completed the work within one day. They left the site clean and tidy. The new radiator is functioning well and the unbalanced heat in our house has been rectified; all rooms are now the same temperature.

Victorian House with all kinds of lack of humidity issues: hardwood floors separating, sinus problems... Got 4 quotes, from $600 to $3,000. Spoke with David who did an analysis and made a firm, affordable recommendation. Bryan and Julio did a great installation. The house is a different place as we head through December with all issues resolved.

If you have an old renovated house and are thinking of replacing your furnace, you may be interested in our experience. • A month ago, our furnace conked out. It was 13 years old, high efficiency, but a cheap model with a checkered history of repairs. We decided to replace it. We had bought our house barely a year before and we knew that we would have to buy a new one at some point, although it happened more quickly than we thought. During our first winter, we experienced high temperature variation in the house, very hot in the basement and very cold in the upper floors. As a result of the research we did, we discovered that we had inadequate ducting. The house had been expanded and renovated a few times during its 100 year history, but it seems that the duct work was never redesigned properly for a 3000 square foot house (3 floors plus finished basement). In addition, there was only 1 air return on the main floor, for the entire house! • We asked 4 companies to bid on the installation of a new furnace. Craig from Belyea Brothers was by far the most upfront and most thorough in explaining the best we could aspire too, given the fact that we did not want to rip walls out and redo duct work. He was the only one to tell us that our current furnace capacity was not high enough for the size of the house. We needed a 100K BTUs furnace, not 80K. Unlike others, he did not recommend a more expensive variable speed furnace but a fixed speed one, so that the amount of hot air to the upper floors be maximized when the furnace was on. He also recommended an additional air return in the basement, which could be easily installed without a mess, on the outside wall of the furnace room. After thinking it through and researching the recommended Daikin furnace, we decided to hire Belyea Brothers for the work, even though they were not the cheapest. We also decided to replace the old air conditioner with a new one from the same make. • As in many older houses, our furnace room was very cramped, so the installation was not easy. The installers, Bryan and Julio were obviously very skilled and did the work efficiently and cleanly over 2 entire days. The existing inflow and outflow pipes were 2 inch and had to be replaced with 3 inch pipes, since they were not large enough for the new furnace to “breath” properly. Therefore, the pipes had to be re-routed. This was done without significant loss of space in the furnace room and no additional cost. Because this was not a “plain vanilla” installation, we asked a lot of questions during the work. We found Bryan and Julio very responsive, detail oriented in their explanations, and unfailingly courteous. • So far, we are very pleased with our new furnace. There is still some temperature variation but it is minor. The furnace is extremely quiet and, even though we try to pay attention, we can’t hear it. We can’t report on the functioning of the air conditioner yet of course, but if it’s like the furnace, it’ll be a good experience. We have no hesitation in recommending Belyea Brothers, especially to those home owners who face the same sort of problems we did. 10/10

I am a property manager, and I use Belyea for our bigger plumbing projects. Our most recent project was changing the mixing valves on the hot water tanks in our buildings to stop the water from switching between very hot and super cold while someone was in the shower. Con was super helpful and knowledgeable, he gave us good advice and got the work done quickly. The price was good too. We will continue to use them for our plumbing needs.

I discovered my NTI Trinity boiler was not delivering exceptionally hot water in the last few weeks ... the heating was working and there was some hot water, but not as much as before. I called Belyea Bros and they suggested a diagnostic visit at a cost of $146.90. I agreed and the company representative attended. He advised the system required a new mixing valve and estimated this at $669.42 and that the sensor for the system should be re-attached (this was removed by the furnace service tech) and did so. The system was functioning and I asked if I should replace the sensor ($428.69) but he advised it was working. While he was on site, the water pressure dropped. He fixed this but recommended a water pressure switch might be needed. Since he did not have parts with him, I advised I would contact the office to schedule work the following day. Within a few hours of the service tech leaving, the entire system failed. I called the manufacturer of the system and they advised the unit most likely needed cleaning/servicing but that the sensor seemed to be doing what it should - sense a problem and shut the system down. I called Belyea back the following day and they advised that cleaning/service of the system would be $225.98. I am not sure if the work they suggested needs to be done or not ... may very well need it. What I am very upset about is that when I originally called, I should have been offered the service ($225.98) and after that, determine if anything else was needed. The sensor may be fine. The mixer may just need cleaning. Why charge for a diagnostic of the system when, having paid for this, I have no idea what is wrong with the system. None. Worse, the system, which was working, is not. I am beyond disappointed. I feel rooked, and $146.90 poorer.

I wish I had found Belyea Bros. years ago. Living in a 90 year old house with a boiler and radiators is a treat when all works well, but if you need maintenance or repairs, I would strongly recommend these guys over any other company. They are really knowledgeable about the whole system, reasonably priced, efficient, prompt, and available to answer questions when deciding on the best course of action (and very patient in that regard!). Thank you guys.

Belyea Bros installed a ductless air conditioning unit on the second level of our home. They were the only company who recommended installing it in a more difficult, but better, location for overall air flow. They were very professional and did a great job with the installation. We've also had Belyea Bros do general maintenance on our furnace. Great job, Belyea Bros!

We have been Belyea customers for over 15 years. They have been maintaining our boiler and furnace and split duct air conditioning system for years. Our furnace and boiler system was due for it's annual maintenance inspection in December. On the first snowy, cold night of the season before the inspection, the furnace stopped functioning. We placed a service call and were delighted when we were told a service tech would be at our door the same evening. Deo arrived and quickly and efficiently diagnosed and repaired the problem. We enjoyed a warm and comfortable night! Deo has looked after us before and we hope he will again. His pleasant and efficient manner is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work!
