    Furnace repair outrageously overpriced

    Our furnace died because of a failed venter motor. Unfortunately, I called Belyea. It took the technician under 5 minutes to diagnose the problem (which cost me $200, Belyea's standard, nonrefundable "diagnostic fee"). To actually replace the motor, he quoted another $857. I had the work done by Reliable Home Comfort for about half that ($489), which is within the range ($400-$600) other companies quoted me over the phone. Unless you enjoy being gouged, avoid this company.

    Furnace installation

    I was in dire straits on Monday when Zahid punctually arrived from Belyea Brothers to service an ailing furnace that I nursed through the weekend. The water condensate was leaking through a crack between the exhaust fan and the secondary heat exchanger compartment. At that point, we couldn't nurse it back to life. Rather than take a chance on out-of-warranty costly repairs that might not extend its already long life for much longer, I opted for a furnace replacement. They didn't have a Trane high efficiency furnace in stock to replace mine, so ordering one and scheduling the installation would be Thursday. I was now in more dire straits facing no heat for 3 days in mid-December! A long story short, they were able to rearrange their installation schedule for me and my elderly mother and Beverley from their front office brought us out 3 ceramic heaters to help us through 2 days of a cold house. The heaters were much appreciated. Wednesday arrived and I was ecstatic to see Mike & Julio punctually arrive to replace the furnace. What a perfectly-tuned HVAC team. Extremely professional, courteous, and delightful guys. They worked so knowledgeably and efficiently, it was like watching a well-oiled, high-quality, precision Swiss watch at work. I'm a very curious sort of bloke that has no fear asking questions. They were eager and willing to answer my questions. That was an excellent learning experience for me. Mike especially took the time to explain what the safety check was all about, showed me what everything was and how it worked, and showed me test results that indicated my new furnace was operating at 97.7% efficiency. WOW! Mike also took the time to show me how to connect the wiring in a new thermostat that I'm considering to DIY-install to replace an old mercury-switch type. I did research on a number of HVAC companies, and it was the comments from others on Homestars that prompted me to deal with Belyea Brothers. I had a great experience with a plugged sewer drain service company that I researched on Homestars last summer. My experience in dealing with Belyea Brothers for the first time this week reassures me that a site such as Homestars really does make it easier for a consumer to find the high quality, honest, and trustworthy businesses that won't rip us off or do a poor job. That is extremely important to me. I felt my costs were reasonable and I have no qualms paying for trustworthy, high quality service that I discovered Belyea Brothers truly provide. I unabashedly consider Belyea Brothers a 10 out of 10 company, staffed by people who truly care about high-quality service and your repeat business.

    Boiler issue and maintenance.

    Our radiators weren't working properly and the pipes were making a terrible sound within the walls. We were worried that we would have to replace the furnace. Prior to calling Belyea Bros., we called another service company that didn't even call us back after a call and two messages. Belyea Bros. were great as they listened to our problems and suggested a few shooting techniques with me over the phone, first call. They were reassuring and very informative even with an ancient system such as ours. John arrived within the timeframe given, had a very positive attitude and didn't try to sell us a new system we couldn't afford. He had the part he needed for the job with him and fixed what was wrong quickly and efficiently. We now have heat, a quiet system and the comfort of knowing that our future furnace maintenace will be handled by a reliable company. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bleyea Bros.

    Oil to natural gas heating

    I have seen Belyea's trucks in our neighbourhood for decades and they were an obvious company to turn to when it came time to move from oil heating to natural gas. I initially spoke to a very knowledgeable gentleman named David, and was then visited by Craig, who did a thorough examination of our house and its heating requirements before recommending the equipment options. The furnace we selected was installed over two days, with a team of four also adding a new radiator in the basement and removing our old electric water heater. The installation job was done professionally, with all the members of the installation team answering questions courteously when we asked them. The new unit has been working perfectly for several weeks now. Our basement was left clean and dry. Recommended.

    combi boiler/hot water heater

    I interviewed three companies before settling on Belyea brothers to install a new boiler and hot water heater. Craig, the company representative was extremely knowledgeable about older homes, and very clear in his presentation, unlike the other two companies I interviewed. The installers were extremely efficient, explained what they had done in detail, including some work cleaning up a botched installation job by a previous company. I couldn't be more impressed with the whole experience, especially given the poor service I have received from other companies.

    Trane XC95; XR16 AC; Nexia Control

    Craig Hood from Belyea Bros met us on time at our new home to discuss a new furnace, a/c and a water heater. Craig was very knowledgeable and his quote was more competitive than the big companies. Angelo and Christian arrived when they were supposed to and their work was meticulous,completed when they said, they cleaned up and patiently explained how to operate our new systems. Well done!

    gas fired furnace installation

    Craig Hood, salesman, visited my house to provide an estimate. He was on-time, courteous, and informative. For example, he told me the reason my oil furnace was not heating my house in a balanced way was because the water pump was installed incorrectly so that it circulated water to only half my house with the rest of my rads getting only convection circulation! He recommended the proper furnace for my house. Installation was by Petra and his colleague. He was magnificent. He is knowledgeable, a very skilled plumber and most importantly to me, was honest and careful with my house. It was a pleasure having him work in my house. Small snag as the pump they installed had a vibration in it. But I called Belyea and without question replaced the pump and the new one works beautifully. Plus I now have heat in all my radiators!!! I am extremely grateful to Belyea for providing high quality work at a very fair price. Gary

    Installation of High Energy Furnace

    At our daughter's recommendation, we purchased a Carrier furnace from David Frost at Belyea. Mike and Julio arrived as scheduled, installed the furnace and thermostat, cleaned up, explained how it worked. Professionalism and courtesy marked every detail of the purchase. Well done Belyea!

    Furnace replacement

    Thank you Belyea Bros. and to three of your HVAC technicians who worked on repairing (Zahid Sattaur), and eventually installing (Mike Kehoe & Julio Roman) a new furnace system. They were very pleasant, professional and respectful. Kept me informed as to what was taking place very mindful indeed. Both Mike and Julio did a superb job at cleaning up! I would recommend them in a heartbeat! Thank you Belyea Bros Ltd for such great service . I am a very pleased customer.
