Heat Pump install

Nick has been 100% honest, direct and informative throughout the process of switching to a heat pump. He's been great to respond to my many questions about the process and I am pleased with the results.
I highly recommend Nick and his team for any heating/cooling needs (he also serviced my furnace and a/c prior to moving to a heat pump system)

New Heat Pump and Furnace

There are things that I appreciate more than just sticker price, and that is transparency, honesty, and being responsive. Nick and his team delivered on all of that.

About a month ago, my AC broke down (over 20 years old) and Nick educated me on Heat Pumps, which I did not know about prior to talking with him. He walked me through the entire process on how to obtain the full grant from the government through the energy auditor which was relatively straight forward. He was not pushy nor did he force me to opt for a heat pump and was willing to just install a regular AC. I did my research and although it had a huge upfront cost, in the long run, it really made sense financially to go through with it.

I took a small risk in terms of only getting a single quote from ICS due to the fact that Nick is well known in the neighbourhood (I got his contact from a local facebook group). When I told the energy auditor the price of the entire service, he did mention that it was a really good price so I was comforted to know I wasn't getting squeezed.

Nick walked me through the installation, what he was going to try to do, what he wasn't sure of (due to the fact that I had a finished basement so he couldn't see) and ensured whatever he did he would ask for my permission - i.e. replacing copper line vs flushing. He gave full disclosure that his team would need to open up holes in the drywall which I was ok with. He did mention they fixed other clients drywall up but since I have done so many drywall repairs myself, I was fine with them leaving it for me to finish it up - I preferred it that way anyways.

On the day of the installation, Nick and team were fully transparent on the things they found, and managed to minimize the amount of (drywall) damage in order to install the entire system the right way (i.e. running comms cabling in the interior of the house vs outside)

Post install, I continued to communicate with him with issues with the Napolean Thermostat that he told me was a bit finicky even before I purchased it (again, not pressuring me to buy it as I could have just continued to use the ecobee that I had before), but he followed up with tech support to get to the bottom of certain issues such as a persistent (and annoying) error message. At the time of this writing, all technical issues have been resolved so I am happy with the new system. These things really had nothing to do with Nick but I appreciate that he went out of his way to support me rather than myself reaching out to Napolean directly to deal with software issues.

Overall, I am very happy with ICS and would recommend Nick and team

New heat pump system and heat pump based water heater

I was referred to Nick after my AC died and my furnace was about 20 years old. He discussed options and was not at all pushy. He recommended the company to do the home audit to get the various rebates. The auditor was prompt in doing that and once I confirmed the order with Nick - he and Matt were on site in 2 days.

They were both very pleasant to have around and did a great job. My mechanical space is now cleaner and neater than it has been in years. Electrician Drew who they brought in for the electrical work was also great.

The new system is amazing. While the old system sounded like a747 taking off, I can only hear the new system if I stand next to the indoor or outdoor sections.

The overall effectiveness during the hot weather is amazing. The temperature is much more balanced on all floors and the airflow through the ducts is very gentle. House is more comfortable with 2 degrees less cooling than before.

Now I am just waiting to see what happens to my hydro bills. My Enercare/Enbridge bill will drop to $0 (those services are now all discontinued

I would absolutely recommend Nick and his team

The transformation from a noisy gas system to a quieter heat pump, along with improved temperature balance and controlled airflow, is truly remarkable. We hope this also reflects positively on your future hydro bills, with your Enbridge bill dropping to $0.

Thank you for your recommendation and remember, we're here to assist with any future HVAC needs you may have.

Replace centralized HVAC with Heat Pump System

I used interior climate solutions (ICS) to fix an issue with my heat pump specific to my third floor previously, was very please with the responsiveness and the quality of the service. When my main air conditioner went, I had went back to ICS.

Nick was great to work with, provided the right solution and since I was upgrading an old system made me aware of grants that were available. My true cost was less than the full sticker price. Nick was able to source a cold weather heat pump system relatively quickly that met my need. The installation was very well done - I couldnt be happier. Nick is very knowledgeable on HVAC systems heat pumps etc.

ICS was very responsive to my questions and anytime I need to reach them. Prior to deciding to replace the system they provided advice on troubleshooting the old system, which I appreciated.

I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them.

Exceptional Air Conditioner Installation

I started up my air conditioner when the heat finally hit Toronto.
I noticed it was short cycling.
I went online and visited HomeStars to get someone to resolve the problem.
That's where I found Nick and his sole proprietorship HVAC company ,Interior Climate Solutions.
His reviews were outstanding and consistent.
I liked the fact that he was a small business.
I contacted Nick at Interior Climate Solutions.
Nick was very knowledgeable and professional.
He quickly diagnosed the problem with my air conditioner.
Nick took the time to explain all of the available options in full detail.
After Nick's diagnoses/explanations I opted for a new air conditioner.
I chose a Mitsubishi air conditioner.
Nick and his apprentice did a flawless installation. They treated my home as if it was their home.
The air conditioner is state of the art. It is incredibly efficient and quiet.
If you want a quality installation versus a numbers installation choose Interior Climate Solutions.
This company exceeded their reviews and I would have no problem in recommending them to anyone.

Nick, Abel, and Matt were awesome! Punctual service. Clean installation. Everything as promised in the quote. They came prepared and worked non-stop until the equipment was installed. We're thrilled to have a new super quiet AC! We shopped around a lot for the new AC and Nick was the only installer who seriously listened to our requirements and knew what equipment would match our needs. Thank you Nick! Definitely recommending them to friends and family and will use them again for future HVAC projects.

Terrific service by Nick and his team

We had our furnaces installed 11 years ago by one of the large companies in Toronto. Their proposed service contract was outrageously expensive, but we were lucky to find a very senior HVAC service guy with very reasonable rates. But then he retired! It was quite a struggle to find a company willing to do service work, almost everyone prefers to do installations. We wanted to stick to a small, owner-operated company with excellent reviews. Nick at Interior Climate Solutions was just right.

Towards the end of winter one of our two furnaces gave out. The house was tolerable but not warm enough. Nick came over and diagnosed the problem - a blown motor on the furnace. Of course it had to be the most expensive part, on a furnace that was showing distressing signs of wear and tear, a year after the warranty was up. It wasn't worthwhile doing an expensive repair. We decided to replace the furnace.

Nick came up with two suggestions, both quite reasonably priced. It only took about a week or 10 days until he let us know that our new furnace had arrived - and that he had a cancellation, so could he come the next day? We were delighted.

Nick and his two man team showed up on time. They completed the work in less time than expected - about three hours. They were respectful and a pleasure to deal with, and they cleaned up beautifully. I couldn't be more satisfied.

New Furnace and Ducts, New AC, New Tankless Water Heater

Nick was great. He is straightforward, direct, honest, friendly. He explained everything clearly, gave us different options, answered all our questions, the quotes did not change and he did a great job installing the equipment. He answered all communications quickly, the work was done as scheduled and the clean up was good. I would recommend Nick and Interior Climate Solutions to anyone looking for furnace and AC installation and maintenance, and will definitely contact him again for any future needs.
