Fearing an exorbitant bill, I reached out to HAMCO for a Saturday service call during another heat wave. Christian from HAMCO promptly returned my email and explained the... charges, both 'real' and potential. He arrived when he said he would (rarer than it should be!) and immediately set to work. He efficiently and effectively diagnosed the issues and had a well-stocked truck that allowed him to fix both issues and restore my air conditioning. Thank you, Christian! The price was very reasonable and below what I expected to pay under the circumstances. I will continue to recommend HAMCO! Strangely, my two neighbours to the north have both had their air conditioning fail over the last 10 days and neither received timely nor exemplary service from their providers, who were NOT HAMCO.read more

There I was… with an rv hot water tank that needed to be replaced and some propane lines that were beyond sketchy. I didn’t know how to resolve these issues and who would... take on such a project. I reached out to Hamco and although rv trailers are not something they usually tackle, they cared enough to listen. They understood I needed help and they took this job on. Right away, Nolan was out to do an on-site inspection to get a better understanding of what was involved and what needed to be done. He was so professional, personable and knowledgeable. He got right to the task at hand and understood quickly what needed to be addressed. A date was easily booked through the helpful and courteous office team. On June 12, 2024 Nolan returned and again, wasted no time diving in and getting the old hot water tank out and installing the new. Repairing the propane lines and testing and checking all the new system. I can’t thank Nolan, Jordan, Veronika and the rest of the team at Hamco enough for caring, going the extra mile and helping me out of a real jam. It’s not always easy for a service company to achieve the highest level of service that it’s customers expect… but Hamco sure did reach it here.read more

It feels like Summer is already here and so thankful that we purchased our new York A/C from Hamco a few months ago. It’s running great and keeping our house nice and... comfortable. We have been a customer for many years and can’t be more pleased with Sales (Andrew) Service (Shane) and Customer Service (Tara). All so friendly and knowledgeable.Quick story: Two winters ago my wife and I were visiting my daughter and her family in Switzerland. We were there for 2 months and while away we had a good friend checking the house on a regular basis. A month into the visit I received a text that there was an issue with the furnace. The condensate drain line was leaking and had to be fixed/replaced asap. A 6-hour time change made phoning a challenge however, after talking with Tara and Shane we were relieved and the repair was made the next day. Where do you get Service like that!Thanks again to the HAMCO Family!Regards,Charles D. Shieldsread more

Last... year, when I had requested an invoice for a recent service call – through a miscommunication, she pulled out our last 10 years of past invoices, and sent them all to me. Now who else would do that – and still be smiling? Only Cherryl. Thank you!Jonathan at Hamco just completed our annual (June 2023) York A/C maintenance. He went above and beyond - which is always the case with Hamco and their technicians. My thanks go to Shane and his crew.Hamco just finished this year's (2021) annual maintenance on 2 furnaces. Technician (Eric) did a bang-up job - knowledgeable, efficient and courteous - thank you !!Once again Hamco earns its stripes. Had them in for regular furnace maintenance. Andrew M. was everything you would want in a technician - skilled, professional and pleasant. Been using them for many years and highly recommend them.

Signs Your Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump is Low on Refrigerant
One of the most common issues with residential heat pumps is the tendency to occasionally leak refrigerant. This is not a big deal and usually occurs due to wear and tear over the years. If you’re experiencing issues with your heat pump and you suspect it could be a refrigerant leak, this is how you can tell:
Leaking
Water or liquid pooling around the system, or oil stains on the ground or exterior wall around the outdoor unit.
Icing
Ice forming on or around the system, especially on the refrigerant lines.
Inefficient Performance
Inadequate cooling, hot or cold spots around the home, or higher energy bills than usual.
Heat Pump FAQs
While heat pumps are becoming more popular in Southern Ontario homes, they’re still not as well understood as traditional furnaces or central air conditioners. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions about heat pumps.
What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump works to both cool and heat your home depending on the season. Unlike a traditional furnace that works to create heat or a traditional air conditioner that works to create cold air, a heat pump will remove heat from the air to condition the home.
In the summer, a heat pump will take heat and humidity from the air and expel it outside of the home, while in the winter a heat pump will pull heat and humidity from the fresh air outside and bring it inside the home.
What Maintenance is Necessary for a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps require annual maintenance from a licensed professional to ensure a long life span, and energy efficiency, and to maintain their warranty. Homeowners should clean or change filters once a month or as needed, clean outdoor coils whenever they appear dirty, and remove vegetation or clutter from around the outdoor unit.
What’s the Difference Between a Heat Pump and Central Air?
There are a few differences between a heat pump and a central air conditioning system. The main differences include:
- Heat pumps can both cool and heat your home, while an air conditioner can only cool your home.
- Heat pumps operate at a much higher SEER rating than central air conditioners.
- Conventional air conditioners are less expensive to purchase, maintain and operate, while heat pumps provide conditioned air more efficiently which reduces monthly energy costs.
