I was introduced to Jordan at a bbq on a Thursday afternoon. He was very personable & knowledgeable and told me he would pass my info along to his office to book an... appointment. Within 2hrs the office called and had me booked for a diagnostic (out in Caistorville) within 2 days. The tech came out and he (Christian) was amazing, he listened intently as I described what was going on and then did his inspection. We chatted some more, he provided me with some great insights and was on his way.The thing that stuck with me the most was when Jordan said we could try just changing parts and hope for the best or properly diagnose things and said it was totally my call no pressure.I highly recommend Hamco and there’s a reason they’ve been around so long!!!!read more

Very good customer service on the phone - live person there whenever you call. Called on Thu afternoon and Friday morning the technician - Najim - came to check the problem... with my AC. Unfortunately the fixing estimate came to half the price of a new unit so we desided to order a new one. Same day they called me with an appointment for Monday morning! Today with the new unit Murray and Victor came early and installed it. After they finished cleaned after themself and put everything on its place in my basement. Amazing job! Thank you!read more

Right from the prompt response to my call, the honesty and integrity from the sales department when I was desperate to replace what I thought was a system in need of... replacement, I was so impressed with this company.I wasn't able to get the original installation company to return a call, book me a service appointment, or acknowledge the fact that I had left emails, called and needed a service before I could use my ductless unit. It doesn't perform well to start with, so I wasn't going to start it up without a service and cleaning. After 3 1/2 weeks of the hottest month in history, I got tired of living in a convection oven, and finally found Hamco. Many HVAC companies don't service ductless units, and I was desperate at this point. Their team was friendly, efficient and professional. They didn't sell me a new unit when I thought I needed it, Christian cleaned it up, testing the unit properly and took the time to explain the size of the unit, why it was working the way it was, or why it WASN'T cooling as efficiently as I had been expecting it to, and gave me some potential future options if I wanted to upgrade. He left it running, with us finally having a/c for the first time this year! We couldn't be happier with their service and will only be using them moving forward! Thank you again Christian!!read more

Update: We just had our annual maintenance done and as usual, the booking and service were done efficiently and professionally. Cameron was pleasant and before servicing the... furnace and AC he was happy to answer a couple questions I had. Pleased once again with Hamco's service.We were recently faced with our 17-year-old furnace breaking down and beyond repair. Despite the extremely cold weather that resulted in a larger number of service needs for Hamco, Najim met with us in just over 24 hours, spent time accessing and explaining the situation and offering the best options for the needed replacement. He worked to get us up and running quickly with a Saturday install and left us with a space heater to ease discomfort overnight. He was personable, knowledgeable and took time to ensure we were happy with the decision we made. It wasn't an expense we had planned for but Najim eased the situation with his excellent customer service. He was happy to answer any questions we had and worked to ensure we got the best price and service possible. Veronika and Shemar arrived early the next day to replace our furnace with a new Daikin. They were also personable, professional and efficient. We feel fortunate to have Hamco to count on with HVAC needs. They have a great team of people who also seem to greatly appreciate how they are respected and treated by the company. It's wonderful to have a local family-owned business providing excellent service. We've been with Hamco (initial installs and service plans) for 17 years and plan to continue with them as needs arise.read more

Honest, expert advice! I asked HAMCO about adding a HEPA filter and UV light to my gas forced air furnace. Instead of selling me an expensive, unnecessary installation,...

After doing a significant amount of research I contracted with HAMCO to install a heat pump to replace my aging air conditioner, and a new furnace. Andrew Vasilak handled... the transaction, and he was terrific to deal with. He was helpful, informative, and there were no high pressure sales tactics. The quote was identical to what I paid.The installation of the products was superb! Both my new heat pump and furnace were installed in one day. The four men who did the installation were on time, dependable and thorough. Since the installation the heat pump has been superb. Air quality in the house is significantly better, and the air temperature has been constant. I had one minor problem, and called HAMCO late at night on a long holiday weekend for assistance. I had a return phone call back in five minutes, a repairman out to my house the next morning, and the problem was fixed quickly. The service technician who dealt with my issue was professional, polite and responsive.HAMCO has been around since 1946. They are an established Hamilton company that offers old fashioned, high quality service at a fair price. I would not hesitate to recommend them.Update: May 12/26I just had HAMCO into perform an annual inspection of my heat pump, furnace and water heater. Christian did an amazing job!

When’s the Best Time for a Furnace Tune-up?
There are really 2 ideal times to get a furnace tune-up: the fall before the heating season and in the spring at the end of the heating season. At a minimum, annual service is crucial to keeping your furnace functioning at its best.
Furnace Maintenance Tips
Change Your Furnace Filter Regularly
One of the easiest ways to maintain your furnace and its efficiency is to check and change your furnace filter regularly. Typically, a standard 1-inch filter should be changed every 30 days. Higher-end, 5-inch filters may last up to 6 months. If you have pets or an extra dusty home, you should change it more frequently.
Schedule Annual Furnace Tune-Up
There’s no substitute for annual preventative maintenance by a certified HVAC professional. While the normal recommendation is that you have your furnace maintained once a year, it’s better to schedule two yearly checkups if you have a furnace and air conditioner. Annual maintenance helps to prevent heating emergencies and furnace breakdowns.
Prepare Your Furnace for Winter
This involves not only scheduling professional maintenance but also checking your equipment and systems to make sure everything is ready for the cold weather. Keep the area around your indoor and outdoor unit free of clutter and debris, and have your ducts inspected.
Keep Your Indoor & Outdoor Vents Clean
Ensure the inside and outside vents are clean and free of debris. Dust or vacuum your vents and registers inside. As for the outdoor unit, if leaves or snow get near the exterior furnace vent, it can cause problems. Every time you walk past your furnace vents take a quick peek to ensure nothing is blocked, especially, after a big wind storm or snow blast.
Change Thermostat Batteries
At the beginning of every heating season, change your thermostat batteries. Changing batteries ensures your system never has to work harder to get your house back up to temperature due to the thermostat shutting off and failing to communicate with the furnace. If you have a programmable or smart thermostat, program it for the winter.
