Alex from Calgary

Finally I have some time to write the review (sorry, folks) and doing it with great pleasure. Let me begin by saying that recently I had a very unpleasant experience with a local business (unfortunately!) and was very cautious about making the decision hiring someone to install central air conditioner. Nate is great! I would like to believe that in all the years working with different technologies I've developed a decent sense for either dishonesty or embellishment when it comes down to sales speeches. There was none of that here! I would definitely call Distinct Heating and Cooling a top quality very affordable company. I also decided to replace my existing humidifier control and the old thermostat with Honeywell Total Control product with remote control and external sensor - money well spent! That added a good chunk to the cost. Without it the cost would be quite lower. The job that Nate and the crew did is very clean and professional. Nate showed some examples of poor job and it looked awful. I saw similar pictures on different forums when I was doing research and too true - a lot of angry folks out there because of that). At first I was waiting to get through some decent heat wave to write the review, so I could really test the system (then got super busy with work.. not making excuses!;)). So the answer is - YES, it works great as advertised. Here is what I find kind of interesting - it doesn't matter how hot it is inside, air conditioner drops 0.5 degree in 5 minutes. Often I would come home and it's about 27 degrees inside. Also depending on if it's a sunny day or partly cloudy (it does make a huge difference - on sunny days walls radiate noticeable heat), it would drop down to 24 degrees in about 20-25-30 minutes. But (here is the good part), while maintaining the house cool, it doesn't turn often even on sunny days. During the last heatwave we had, my outside sensor showed 38-39 degrees (it's behind something but on the sunny afternoon side) and it was super comfortable inside and the unit would turn on, run for a couple of minutes, not much longer, and then it sits quite for a while. Thanks again to Nate and the Company. P.S. We'll see how it turns back on after winter, but I have faith!:)

Having a recent bad experience with one of local companies, it took a careful consideration hiring Gecko Projects team to work on the garage. And I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Derrick, just like many point out, is a friendly professional - very easy to deal with and he does go above and beyond. Initially my garage was scheduled to start around August 28 of 2015, but for some reasons my project was moved ahead of its schedule and first week of July I'm already parking in the garage. The first thing that stands out is the quality of work - nothing is out of line and the structure looks professional. Derrick will definitely listen to the wishes, but still recommends to do some things certain way and explains the reasons behind it. The pad was poured about a month before the start date, and since that was already done - it took about 3-4 days of work to complete everything including roof and siding - impressive. Once the job was done, the site was left clean. The City's Inspection was also completed without any issues. Overall I'm very pleased with the job done and it was worth every penny spent. I definitely recommend Derrick and his crew for an affordable and high quality garage job in Calgary area.
