    Not the cheapest in town but the quality and service is definitely there

    Installed A/C in our custom built home. Very much satisfied with the level of service and professionalism. They are not the cheapest company out there but don't be fooled by the special prices of other companies, you get what you pay for!

    NEW FURNACE and PIPES INSTALL

    To save time on my part, here is the a copy of the email I sent to "INQUIRES" with NO response (email was sent on Feb 11, 2020). Edited out names and street address from original email. I am sending this email on behalf of my parents living in Scarborough. My parents had a NEW furnace installed on the 22nd January 2020. The furnace itself was installed with NO issues. However, there is an issue with the cold air intake pipe from the outside. I am including in this email thermal and regular pictures of the issue. The issue is where the cold intake pipe enters the house. It is NOT sealed correctly, both inside and out. There is a space between the pipe and wall that needs to be sealed correctly on the outside. The inside needs more sealant to cover the holes. Cold air is getting in; as I can feel a draft on the inside of the house once I take the insulation out. And when I do take the insulation out, I am finding it wet – from moisture/condensation. The solution that was given to my Dad was to add more insulation. This did NOT fix the issue, only to create MORE moisture/water and the insulation to become sopping wet in cold weather. I am puzzled as to how this passed inspection with all the holes not being sealed correctly and why it has not been corrected with my Dad’s complaints. There was a cover on the outside of the house that housed the old pipes and stopped any airflow into the house. My Dad was told that it could not be used for the new installation as it was not up to code. Now that you have the back ground information of the issues at hand, we have a few questions that I request a response back in an email: 1. How was the pipes installation able to pass inspection? 2. When will you be sending a specialist who pays attention to detail and ensures the job is done right and correctly, to fix the leaks inside and outside of the house, where the new pipes were installed? 3. Why can’t the old cover be used on the outside of the house (to cut out drafts) to house the new pipes, in relation to “the code” changing? (My Dad needs the cover back as it wasn’t to be taken away in the first place – thank you) Please follow up with my parents and call them to set up an appointment so that this issue gets rectified and fixed for good. I trust that the right thing will be done and that this was all an oversight. G

    Answer from pro:

    Dear sir, to be perfectly honest and fair this review is not indicative of the real situation and the review is unfair . The old Clair furnace cover that was outside is over 30 years old and cannot be used with new furnaces, codes have changed a lot in three plus decades. It is routine to remove old equipment and dispose of it for customers, you will find every company does this . You are right there was a very small leak outside letting a small amount of air through the seal , we are very sorry for that. Thank you and enjoy the new furnace sir !

    Boiler Installation

    Great upfront meetings. Agreed to down payment by credit card, balance by cheque when satisfied. Installation was sloppy & unsafe (e.g. gas pipe not supported) and not completed, the installer developed attitude. Then without my agreement they took the balance off my credit card, minus the cost of the rad not installed, and would not come back to complete, fix or inspect.

    Answer from pro:

    Sorry to hear about this happening our deepest apologies. I hope you spoke with the Installation. Manager and everything was rectified .

    A/C Diagnosis & Repair

    Nothing but glowing reviews from us here... Had the pleasure of speaking to Tracey this morning. She was very helpful and made magic happen so we could have a technician come to our place today. She was very thorough, friendly and understanding to our circumstances. Val arrived in the afternoon. He was amazing. After approximately 1 hr, we were up and running with cool air in our home on one heck of a hot day! He was thorough and walked us through the details of all the work executed. He also gave us an action plan for our home for the Fall & Spring. Thank you to our local Laird & Sons for a wonderful experience during a HOT circumstance. Highly recommend them. We will definitely be calling back for our annual maintenance on boiler and A/C!

    So glad to hear everything went smooth from start to finish Siobhan!! We hope you and your family enjoy your summer.

    Ductless Air Conditioner Installed

    This company was very prompt to return our call and book an appointment for a quote. They arrived when promised for the estimate and arranged the installation date. Install date was as promised and the installers were extremely professional, talented and very nice. The quality of the install was excellent and they took great care of their work space and our home. The new AC is silent and works exceptionally well. Thank you for a job well done Laird and Son!

    Installation of a Viessman combi boiler

    I replaced a 25 year old boiler in our older North Toronto home. I was impressed by the staff from the point of initial contact and assessement to installation. Staff were courteous, informed and answered all questions. They also made further suggestions following the initial assessement that made for a better outcome. I am pleased with the final product and would recommend Laird

    Furnace - A/C - Hot water heater

    I had a furnace, A/C, and hot water heater installed to replace my aging equipment. Mac's team was knocking at my door at the exact time they said they would start their work. At one point during the day there were three trucks and six workers on the job site. I was impressed with the coordination of job tasks. All precautions were used to protect the work area and my new carpets in the basement. At the end of the day they cleaned up and made sure I was comfortable operating the new equipment. Two months in and everything is working well. Laird and Sons did everything they said they would do, on time, and on budget.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks so much for the great review. Mack is extremely knowledgeable and takes great care of his customers. Have a great winter and enjoy the new equipment!
