Everyone is replacing their old AC to new Heat Pump as government pushes out $7100 energy rebate. We didn't want to rush into this without conducting thorough research. After comparing multiple Chinese companies, we decided to go Home Savings Inc because of their honesty and professionalism. We have had 3-4 consultations with some of the very popular contractors in Markham. Most of them are selling hard, promoting the fact that you don't have to pay anything out of pocket and that all fees will be covered by rebates.
However, it's extremely crucial that you find a company with qualified & skilled technicians to properly install the heat pump. That could be a key determination to how long your new heat pump will last. Research should also be done about different heat pump models that are being offered. We went with the top of the class brand, Trane, despite having to pay some additional money out of pocket. But we think it's worth it, due to its quality, warranty and after sales services. Leaving us feeling safe and secured about the new heat pump.
Our sales representative was Thomas and Jacky was the technician that did our install. Home Savings do charge a bit more, but their goal is to focus on quality and not quantity. So essentially, you do kind of get what you pay for. If you are not knowledgeable in this field (which most of us are) and also don't want to stress about the after sales problems, make sure you find a trustworthy company to do the job right! So you can have a peace of mind in the long term.
