Air Conditioner Blower Repair

Very happy once again with McKinnon's Service as they replaced a control card for the air conditioner blower. This job required three visits - both service personnel Hamid and Corey, as well as office staff Claudine were most responsive and attentive, and all did a great job to see all was working correctly. I have been very happy with this company for several years now.

Great Client Service Coordinator and Advice!

I am a single mom, with an old Hi-Velocity system - 20 years.

Needed to find a company in Toronto to look over my system for a "check out" to see if having a maintenance plan or new system would be the best choice.

The Client Service Coordinator was very friendly, professional and helped navigate to the best choice for a starting point.

The decision to have Owner call me to provide some insights on options to consider!

She also provided me with information about the different Maintenance contract packages they have, all of which are really reasonably priced!

FURNACE PLANS: p DH Annual Maintenance + 20% off any required
parts and labour...$205.00 p HH Annual Maintenance + Complete Furnace
Coverage...$340.00

So now the owner has called me, they are quick. We decided to go with a service call at a reasonable price, about 200. That any repairs on a 20-year unit would not make sense as we would be looking at most repairs being of several hundred, per repair which adds up quickly. He said really, let the unit die, then purchase a new more energy efficient one for about 3 - 4,000. I agree this would be a better investment option.

Thank you, for your help today, a pleasure to have met you.

Weekend Water Heater Repair

Called around. McKinnon was the only one willing to come out on the weekend.

Cory was amazing. Knowledgeable, pleasant, amazing. He is my hero! He got the water heater going in no time flat.

The company is so easy to deal with.

A long-time customer for almost 20 years.

I've been a customer of this family run company for almost 20 years and have always trusted them and been pleased with them. They've been with me for two houses and have been there for two new A/C units, one new furnace, one water heater, two BBQ hookups, fridge water line, outdoor water faucet, two fireplace hookups, and many many regular service/cleaning/inspections etc.

Great same day service

Had a gas leak near the meter and lost our hot water. Called McKinnon and they were really responsive, transparent about costs, and addressed the issue the same day. Really appreciated the communication and, of course, the quick resolution.

HVAC modification to water heater

HVAC modifications were needed to keep the pilot light of the water heater running. The technician was very kind and helpful in assessing the situation and worked very efficiently in a tight space to solve our problem.

Humidifier installation on furnace

We have been dealing with McKinnon for over 45 years. We have always been very pleased with the service that we have received from them.
We decided to get a humidifier installed on our furnace. I called the office to get a quote and was told that Michael, the owner, would either call me or email me. Within an hour, I received an email from Michael.
We set up a time that he would come to our house to have a look and give us a price. Michael came right on time, and we had some nice friendly conversation, as we had met Michael a few years ago when they installed our furnace. He said that he would send Hamid, who has been at our house several times to clean our furnace, to come the next day to install the humidifier. Hamid arrived right on time and installed the humidifier. Hamid is a very knowledgeable technician and did a great job.
I would recommend McKinnon very highly. Michael, the owner is very easy to deal with and his technicians are top notch.
We have been dealing with them for 45 years which must say a lot.
