Heating/cooling/hot water

We have been thrilled with all three jobs Brian has done for us! He replaced our AC, serviced our furnace, and most recently fixed the sensor on our hot water tank. Brian always completed jobs on time, in budget, and is incredibly trustworthy! When recommending any fix, his suggestions balance efficiency and cost. He also always explains thoroughly what he's doing and why. I'm so glad we've found this company!

Hvac retrofit

Working with John for the quota and minor design changes was great as he's done lots of retrofits and knows what works and doesn't. Having Ryan and his crew doing the install, couldn't have asked for a better crew. The guys really cared about their work and the final product. Definitely recommend for new install or a retrofit.

1) Gas furnace repair, 2) Gas hot water tank repair

This is the second excellent major repair experience we've had with Summers & Smith. Nine years years ago we were impressed that the gal on the switchboard knew that the heat exchanger on our fourteen year old gas furnace still had a year left on its warranty. $300 for labour back then was a great savings in comparison to $2,700 for a whole new furnace which our previous service company insisted was required. Most recently, S&S's very talented Scott Walker provided knowledgeable, very competent, speedy and friendly service to replace a defective thermocouple in our gas hot water tank. We have no hesitation at all in recommending Summers and Smith to other homeowners.

Not Recommended. Bad Experience

We purchased a house in June 2015 that had a boiler system installed by Summers and Smith in 2010. We had some construction work on the house done after we moved in and they needed to move radiators as a result. The system shut down in January 2016 on one of the coldest days of the year. Summer and Smith came in to look at the issue. The Technician Mike G. preceded to tell us how the system had not been installed properly and had to be "completely re-piped" to fix the issue. He also 'tagged' us with a very minor deficiency so we couldn't start our system again. This did not sound right to me, as it was only installed 5 years ago and it had been his company that installed it! He wanted to charge us over $1500 to do this "repair". I decided to get a second opinion from another company. They sent a master technician within two hours of my call. He said the system was fine and all we had to do was bleed the rads properly to fix the problem. After our contractor did this, as well as put the 2 ft plastic pipe that was the "deficiency" and the system worked fine. All it cost us was the visit from the other company. Well worth the money. From our perspective, Summers and Smith were going to make us pay over $1500 to fix a problem on a system they installed in the first place, and a repair that didn't even need to be done. We felt totally taken by this company.

Service and Installation

After years of trying to find the right heating and air conditioner provider-who offers knowledgeable, punctual and overall courteous customer service- I finally found Summers and Smith.

I've had large corporate companies in- the ones who you have to push 10 buttons on the phone to speak to a real employee-along with other local companies, and no one could fix my furnace issue.
Summers and Smith resolved the problem instantly.

Ever since then - which was 8 years ago- I still use them today for annual services on my furnace, air conditioner and fireplace.

They truly are a genuine company, with genuine service. I trust no other.

New Furnace and AC

S&S had been our service contractor for furnace and AC for several years and we were unexpectedly faced with the need to replace the furnace. We were presented with a great bundled offer and the installation team was outstanding!! We were nervous about having the ceiling of our finished basement opened for piping. The installers were careful, clean and precise in everything - they even noticed and replaced some piping related to the water heater that was not up to code (this is a rental unit not serviced by them). It is incredibly RARE to find this high level of customer service and attention to detail. Highly, highly recommend this company!!

Heating and Air Conditioning

Summers and Smith have been our Heating and Cooling experts for over 6 years. The company is very punctual, professional and thorough. They installed our air conditioner many years ago and have been servicing our home since then. It is apparent that they have impeccable training; all the service people that have come into my home have always been courteous, friendly and knowledgable, and they always respect my home - they wear booties to cover their shoes! The work has never been a problem, and they have kept our units (furnace,air & humidifer) running well over the years. Michael is a gentleman, upstanding and honest and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone requiring installation or maintenance.

Replace air conditioner and furnace

Had them replace the furnace and air conditioner. Agreed to the terms on the quote which included 5 year parts and labor warranty.

After the job is done, the following spring air condioner is malfunctioning and service guy comes to add coolant. Then the next year, same malfunction happens and this service guy is kind enough to tell me that the original installer screwed up with the install. He calls his office and the lady on the other end tells him I am responsible for the repair cost.

But I have a 5 year warranty! But on the bill of sale it stipulates that the warranty is in effect ONLY if I pay them for annual maintenance. I call this a bait a switch because no where on the quote did it state that.

For a company that has been in business that long, I was extremely disappointed by their tactics, and would never recommend them. I give them 2 stars only because furnace is still working.

Dear Bones of Richmond Hill,

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with Summers and Smith. We understand how important it is to homeowners to obtain warranties on the equipment they purchase. However, it is required—and policy—by both the manufactures and Summers and Smith, that regular maintenance is completed. This is to ensure that repairs and problems are not a result due to neglect, or lack of maintenance. Maintenance also allows us to discover potential problems, and resolve them in a timely manner. Please refer to either your purchase of sale, or homeowners manual for further detail. We would be more than happy to review options on potentially reinstating your warranty, or offer you the Summers and Smith’s Elite Program. This program presents our customers an opportunity to purchase a protection program for their equipment. As a result, the program assures a guaranteed peace of mind, by knowing you and your system will be taking care of. Do not hesitate to contact our service department, as we are here to help, and there is always a solution 

Yours Truly,
The Customer Care Team @ S&S
