Recently had our Furnace replaced after it was deemed too expensive to replace a fan whose cost was the equivalent of 50% of a furnace. Veronika and Rick installed our new furnace updating specs that had changed. Excellent job all round our second furnace from Hamco

We had a good experience with HamCo for our AC replacement, that we contacted them again regarding our furnace! We thought we could get a couple more years from the furnace but it too needed to be replaced. Again it was another quick turn around from our initial call to Laura, quotes with Bill, and to install with a great team of technicians.

Our experience using Hamco to install our air source heat pump last year was great. Andrew is very consistent in his messaging about the pros and cons of the new system and the quote that he put into place at the beginning of the process remained unchanged, despite some changes in the overall plan. From our experience, Hamco seems to be running an honest operation that cares about customer satisfaction. We are happy customers.

In the past 2 years we've had Hamco install or replace a few things at our home and they always do an outstanding job. Their entire team is excellent - friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks Hamco!

Had a 1T ductless Daikin Heat Pump installed to help heating & cooling in our Durand 1890's brownstone. They've attended to the needs of this house through a number of owners and many many years.From the professional (and free) sales call from Andrew to the great install team of Veronica, Josh and Corey I can highly recommend this local company to you.

My Parents have been using Hamco since the late 80’s. We are completely satisfied with the on going excellence with all the service. The techs are professional and persistent in solving our heating and cooling issues.So much so we purchased a hot water heater we had no idea they did that but the tech advised us on the type and size we needed. That was also an excellent install. I’m not really a google review type but when it’s good you need to tell others.Give Hamco a try I know you will not be disappointed.

I’m a GC that hired Hamco to install the HVAC system in one of our commercial units. The team at Hamco did a spectacular job.The consultation with Jordan was very easy. He redesigned the entire system to a more affordable solution for the clients.The installers did such a great job on site.I highly recommend using this company for your HVAC needs.

Hamco recently did a check & clean, fixed our AC system AND installed a new air filter in our home. Mike was very professional, communicated everything clearly and got the job done on good time. Really happy with to be Hamco customers! Our air quality has never been better.

HAMCO did an exceptional job installing both my York AC and my York furnace. Bill gave me several options and helped me figure out what made sense for my home. It was a very positive experience working with Andrew, Bill and the installers. They also did a great job rerouting the ductwork in my basement. (I can now walk around without hitting my head.) I recommend HAMCO highly.

The men did a good job installing my new furnace (Daikin). Bill was great with selling it to me and explained everything very well! Highly recommend HAMCO. I will be inquiring about a new A/C unit eventually as I am very pleased with the new furnace 😀

We had an excellent experience with Hamco. Our 41 year old boiler up and died on us just about 2 weeks ago and Nolan and Christian were able to diagnose the issue. Based on their feedback, we decided to switch over to a heat pump with mini splits and they put us in touch with the sales dept. Andrew immediately gave us a call and helped us decide on the right mini split system. The main installers, Veronika and Reese were great and very efficient. They went above and beyond making the installation process painless. Overall, I'm impressed with the service from start to finish and the professionalism of Hamco.

Our house was doing basement renovation, there’s lots of work because of new room reorganizing. Veronika, Lyie, Rees are very professional and detail driven, they are not only installed the new pipes according to code, also they changed wrong pipes which done by previous house owner, it avoided potential fire, keep our house safe. Highly recommend HAMCO, wondering an old company since 1946, how they can maintain the high quality service level. They are amazing

I first contacted Hamco due to a CO leak in the house that the gas company said was caused by the furnace. Upon investigation, Nolan determined it was the Water Heater and that I'd need to work with Reliance for that since I rented from them. He was very courteous and helpful in letting me know of the options available to me, and I was very happy dealing with him.After two separate Reliance techs did nothing and said it wasn't the heater, and 3 more instances of the CO alarm going off over a couple weeks, I contacted Hamco to look at buying a heater outright and having them install it. Laura was extremely helpful and kind, and I was able to get everything organized through her, including the Reliance cancellation.On installation day, the two installers were friendly, courteous, and put in effort to keep everything tidy as they went. They also took the old heater and returned it to Reliance on our behalf.It's been months now with zero problems or CO leaks. Of 4 different technicians that came to investigate the leak, only Nolan from Hamco got it right. I will happily use them again.

Very happy with Andrew at Hamco with oil furnace conversion to heat pump. Lots of options out there, but Hamco proved superior not only in terms of price, but assistance with design, selection, and installation. Andrew even helped guide us through the grants process, which was an important factor in our decision to convert to a heat pump. Works even better than we imagined and have already started enjoying the energy savings and lower carbon footprint. Thanks Andrew!

I had HAMCO install a heat pump water heater and perform furnace maintenance a week ago. In both cases, the employees were extremely professional, friendly, and courteous. They were on time, to the minute, and provided updates as well as easy to understand explanations of the work they were doing. There were no surprises. The sales rep was very friendly and never pressured me. Office staff were flexible when it came to scheduling the work. Great experience with both jobs.

Completed furnace maintenance . Also fixed a gas leak on fireplace that was done by the shoddy work by the fire place installers(that store in burlington). Nolan was very proffesional and found the gas leak within seconds.

I have a very old and very small cottage in Hamilton that has never had air conditioning and needed it ASAP. Andrew from HAMCO came for my quote within 24 hours of calling; he was extremely kind and helpful and took the time to show me how to change my furnace filter as a first-time homeowner. He gave me a fair and honest quote and within days his team was at my home installing my air conditioner.The team at HAMCO was very polite, efficient, and thoughtful of my home. They did a fantastic job installing the new unit and my thermostat. I've had the system for a few weeks and it's running so smoothly, I had such a humid and sweaty home and now it's cool and comfortable. The mustiness of my old basement has been reduced significantly. Thanks so much Andrew and the team at HAMCO, you've earned a customer for life!

Long story short, we our new A/C unit was a lemon. The original installer wouldn’t do the work and most places won’t cover a manufacture’s warranty if they didn’t install it, but Hamco was willing to work with us. We did need to cover the labour costs (understandably), but not having to also pay for a new compressor was really nice. Both the office staff and the techs were professional, responsive and quick.

As far as the product goes (Daikin FIT), it has only been 2 weeks since the system was installed, so I cannot give a credible review for the product itself yet, maybe for another day.I would like to call out the way my Daikin Fit was installed. Initially I was impressed since they initially said it is a 2-day job, but the install team (Greg/Christian/and a lady) managed to finish the job in a day. But then I realized how poor the wiring was done for my HVAC system. They just tied everything and tucked everything to the side of the furnace/duct. It looks electrically unsafe even. My old HVAC was done way more better. I am aware that the new HVAC systems have more electronics, but I've also seen other new Daikin installations and the wiring is not as bad as what has been done on mine. Also, there's supposed to be a holder for all the service manuals that they usually stick to the side of the airduct, but when I asked for it, they said the forgot to bring one and will just come back to install one. So they just put all the manuals on top of the media filter. But they never came back.I already reached out to my sales agent Daniel Poirier, but it's been 2 weeks now, and no action has been done yet or have not heard back from their installation manager as of this writing.Be the judge. I guess that would fall to simply being a poor quality work and poor after sales customer service.UPDATE:I would like to thank the team from HAMCO (Daniel - Sales, Shane - Service and especially Nolan - Technician ) for looking into my concern. It might have taken about 3 weeks, but at least they worked on a solution regarding the furnace wiring (and document holder) and they did not disappoint. You can see from the photos the updated wiring of my furnace. One satisfied customer! Thanks again!

Hamco has done a service check on our AC for over ten years now - ever since they installed it! Nolan has always called ahead to let us know when to expect him to arrive and, like today, he is always prompt. He’s a hard worker and does a great job. He is very pleasant and considerate and we look forward to seeing him every year. Thank you for your outstanding service and realiability!

Repairman showed up on time and was very personable and professional. He had our furnace working again in under 10 minutes and explained what the problem was a dirty flame sensor. I would highly recommend Hamco they installed our Furnace and Air Conditioning and have provided excellent service since 2006.

Always a great experience with Hamco. Ashley and Andrew came to do a furnace checkup and they were professional and friendly. I highly recommend their services, from a new install to regular maintenance. A pleasure to work with.
