Professional and All Around Excellent

If you're in the market for a new furnace. Don't go anywhere else.
I cannot stress how glad I am that I chose Distinct to install our furnace (and repair our AC come spring). Nate was extremely professional and thorough when he came to do our initial quote/inspection, and took great care to explain everything to my partner.

Kristian and Aiden installed our unit and were excellent as well. We felt comfortable enough with the company to leave them our door code so we didn't need to be home for the install. After the install was complete, both Kristian and Aiden were very thorough in their explanations of not only WHAT they installed and its purpose, but how to use the new thermostat and what they had left to do in the spring once it isn't colder than the arctic.

Seriously. Don't go anywhere else. These guys are the best.

Good afternoon Kyle,

What an absolutely wonderful 5 star review you have left us!

It has been our absolute pleasure doing this install for you and we look forward to returning in the spring to help you get your A/C working properly for you again.

Our owner Nate is truly wonderful at explaining all things HVAC related to our customers in a way that everyone will understand.

Kristian and Aidan are part of our excellent install crew and we are so happy that you felt comfortable with them being in your home even when you couldn't be there!

It's important to our team that every customer knows how and why everything works so you feel confident when they leave and we are only a phone call away if you ever need a refresher!

We look forward to coming back once the warmer weather arrives to finish up the job!

Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to leave this very kind review and thank you for supporting our small family run business, we greatly appreciate it!

Have a wonderful Christmas season and see you in 2023!

Furnace Tune Up

Great company to deal with. Great communication in terms of confirmation and reminders for service appointment. I also loved the extra security feature of them sending a photo of the technician prior to his arrival. Ed was friendly and professional. He showed up promptly at the scheduled appointment time and explained all of his findings to me. Will definitely book them again for next year!!

Regular Furnace Update

Great Service, and real attention to detail.

I used to run a larger construction company, and so I have seen a lot of furnaces installs and repairs work. Ed (tech) who came, did an amazing job. Fixed the sloppy work of the previous HVAC company. I have full confidence that my furnace will run without any issues this winter. He found two small issues, and they were repaired.

I would recommend this company and I have them now booked to do a season update on my AC unit in the spring

We take pride in our installation process in particular, as we know that is the most critical part of having a furnace or A/C unit run efficiently and properly from the start.

We are extremely lucky to have Ed as part of our team for over 5 years now and he truly is a fantastic technician!

We look forward to coming back to your home in the spring to help keep your A/C unit running properly as well!

Just the best!

Distinct Heating always provides professional, and, sometimes, same day service, when I need it. Yesterday my furnace wasn't staying on long enough to heat the house properly. This was an issue that occurred late last winter and at the time the solution was to replace the pressure switch. I called yesterday morning and a few hours later Ed, my regular technician, came out and reran the diagnostics. Turns out the switch wasn't working quite as precisely as it needed to. Ed replaced it with a new switch at no cost to me. Thanks Ed for your usual great work and thanks Nate for getting Ed out to help me so quickly - I appreciate the two of you making me a priority and giving me such exceptional customer service. You guys are the best!

Furnace Installation and maintenance

Distinct Heating installed two new furnaces for me seven years ago. The installation couldnt have gone smoother, other tradesmen have commented on what a great job they had done and since then I have had them in for yearly maintenance. Everyone who I have dealt with has been very professional and done an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Distinct Heating.

Good morning,

What a wonderful way to start our day by reading such a kind review of our company! We always love to hear when customers appreciate how we do things from start to finish.

We all try to make sure that we treat our customers how we would want to be treated. This is Nate's biggest ask of all of our staff so we are happy to hear that you appreciate that.

In our industry, high turnover of staff is typical, however most of our Distinct Heating & Cooling team have been with us for a minimum of 5 years which speaks volumes of how our company is run on a day to day basis.

We look forward to providing you with the top notch service you have come to know and appreciate and we thank you for your continued support of our small business!
