Almar Energy Group

I called Victor and scheduled him to do a health check on my rental property furnace and also on the 20 year old furnace in my Bungalow. For the rental furnace he thoroughly checked and cleaned everything including the flame detector, and measured the amps on the motor to let me know approximately how much life is left in the motor. He provided me and my tenant advice on how to run the system properly in the winter and summer as well.

For my bungalow furnace he did the same, but he verified that the condenser on top is building up too much heat and will schedule a follow up appointment to remove it and clean it out. The previous services that I had never checked on this issue before, and the last technician that I brought to check on this overheating issue, just advised me to just change the filters more often (every month or 2 vs 3 months to prevent it from overheating. Victor checked and found that it had already been overridden from the default 180 max temp to 250 so it really needs to be cleaned, as that would explain why it cycles off and on so quickly as it overheats.

Victor is polite, kind and knowledgeable and knows all that there is to know about HVAC repair and service. He is highly recommended.

My AC broke down in the last heat wave, and I called an HVAC company for service. The service technician told me that my AC fan was seized, and that all of the coolant had drained out through a leak. He also inspected my furnace, told me the heat exchangers were cracked, and red-tagged the furnace, giving me 45 days to replace it before the gas to my home would be cut off. The company subsequently quoted me $13,000 - $20,000 to replace both my AC and furnace ($20,000 - $28,000 to rent over a 15 year period).

Almar was one of the companies I contacted to get a quote on the replacement of my AC and furnace. Vittorio, the owner, let me know that my AC needed a simple replacement part, as did my furnace. My AC fan was not seized, there was no leak in the coolant line, and there was no crack in my furnace's heat exchanger. In short: the other company's technician had not been honest.

Vittorio replaced the necessary parts, serviced and cleaned my AC and furnace, and cleared the red tag so that my gas will remain on. The total charge was $700. I'm furious with the other company, and grateful that Almar saved me a minimum of $12,000.

I've referred Almar to friends, and wouldn't hesitate to refer them to others. Above all, I appreciate Vittorio's honesty and attention to detail.

Thanks!

I hired Victor to do gas line for stove and bbq. He is very knowledgeable and skilled professional. He explained the job very well and while pulling lines made sure to not impede future basement renovations.
He also provided his suggestions how hvac utilities can be relocated to make room in my basement as I am going to renovate and finish.
I will definitely recommend Almar Energy and would hire again for future hvac jobs.

The air conditioner hose was blocked and Vitoria cleared the blockage and it works again. He was polite, on time and it cost what he said it would.

Clean, detailed repair, not quite the most budget friendly but Victor was great and you get what you pay for! Nice work.

Great communication from the start. Vittorio is very friendly and personable, and he came over for a free on-site visit when I contacted him about this project. He was very knowledgeable in his work and was professional throughout the project; he took his time to explain to me what he was doing each step. The amount he charged was also very reasonable and competitive. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of HVAC service!

What amazing service! Victor was able to problem solve over the phone and we were happy to tip him for that!

Needed to replace our AC unit, we shopped around and received a few different quotes. Almar was the least expensive as they do not upcharge for the parts, what he pays is what you pay. The amount charged for labour was very reasonable considering the amount of work that was involved on our replacement. He took the time to explain what he was doing, he was very meticulous and very clean with his work. He even provided some tips on how to maximize air flow in the house and make our HVAC system even more efficient. I'm always hesitant to have contractors do work at our house but I was extremely satisfied with Almar. I would highly recommend him if you require HVAC work done.

Very responsive and professional. Great workmanship and provided a lot of information to help with using the new gas hookup. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional.

Victor is very knowledgeable and has done a great job to install the right fittings and quick connect to my Bbq line. He throughly checked the entire line for any gas leaks and has modified the bbq line to better suit my needs. Highly recommend him.
