December 31st 2015 around 6pm as we are about to leave to celebrate the New Year, our furnace won't stay on. We fiddle with it, but don't want to go too far in case we break something or blow up the house. We call the company that sold it to us 9 years ago, but they are out of business. We then call another company we dealt with and they come for 8pm. The error codes say Flame Sensor fault, but he tells us to replace the furnace and that we can't turn it on due to excessive Carbon Monoxide levels. He leaves us literally in the cold and charges us $160 for the visit. We are left in the cold until Jan 2nd.
I believed that a second opinion would make sense, so I look for a reseller of Rheem furnaces on Jan 2nd 2016. A number of names pop up and the most familiar is Reliance Home Service Mississauga. I call and they say someone will be there between 1-6pm. At 1:10pm Adam Walker shows up. He sees the error codes, cleans the flame sensor and fires up the furnace. It stays on! He then says the venting pipe is broken at the base and he can not keep the furnace on with it in that condition. He goes to his truck and brings back some parts and McGyvers it to allow the furnace to function until the pipe can be fully replaced. WE HAVE HEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 DAYS!
Adam Walker is an excellent example of an honest and conscientious service professional. The first guy wanted the sale of a new furnace. Adam wanted his clients to have heat and their problem solved. I highly recommend him and will be referring him to anyone in need. Great job Sir! I appreciate your efforts and honesty.
