I had problem with a backyard tap that had come off the pipe and was leaking water, probably for at…read moreleast 2 months, due to an old malfunctioning shut-off valve. I emailed a well known plumbing company directly but they never responded, and likely blocked my phone number. I then posted on the Yelp Marketplace and Misho of Weston Plumbing responded the same day. We booked a day and he came over and replaced the tap. On his way out from the job I threw a replacement job for a kitchen faucet at him and he took on the project without hesitation. A week later he came back with the new faucet, did the installation as well as replace the defective basement shut-off valve. What I like about Misho is his willingness to be flexible about doing 'small' repairs (apparently some plumbers won't respond if the job is not 'big enough'). Also, as a now retired middle school teacher I always looked favourably on the Skilled Trades and supported opportunities for students to experience learning how to use tools and machinery. Artificial Intelligence ain't gonna do your electrical work, nor handle a hammer, nor put up your dry wall! Misho takes on apprentices and individuals wanting to learn the trade (he also does HVAC work). This is supporting the next generation of Skilled Trades practitioners in invaluable ways. All-in-all a very thorough repair project at a reasonable cost. I would definitely use him again. Sorry that the accompanying images are out of order but they are numbered in the captions.

I'm beyond frustrated with Reliance Home Comfort. My AC broke Tuesday (July 15/25) and I scheduled…read moreservice Wed (July 16) specifying that my friend would be home Friday (July 18) between 1-5pm, and I even left his direct contact number. Instead, the tech showed up at 2pm, rang the doorbell once, waited 2 seconds, and left. No knock, no call; even though Tim was the only person available. That doorbell is linked to my phone (which I had on me at work), so no notification reached him. Within 20 minutes, I called Reliance; was promised someone else would come before 5. Nothing. By 6pm, I was told they don't know when a technician can actually come. I've been shuffled between reps, no one takes responsibility, and I've now wasted a full day and had to cancel plans. I placed my pets in someone else's care for their comfort since Wednesday and now I still can't bring them home. As well I've been in quite a bit of discomfort in a sweltering house. Reliance failed spectacularly in communication, execution, and accountability. If you rely on their service to keep your home functional and comfortable, beware your time and comfort mean absolutely nothing to them.

Yet when we called we were told that we would be charged a much higher price to buy it out. The salesmen was a con man, he provided misleading information.

This review also posted on Google…read more Buyer beware! This experience is with who I presumed was a technician but turned out to be a salesman. I called to have my ducts cleaned and then to have a free inspection of my home for air quality. The "technician" did not do an inspection but asked about my furnace, age etc. He came to the conclusion that it would be best to replace my furnace as soon as possible because of age, 16 years, to avoid a breakdown (which admittedly is possible). Then we could start talking about air quality. He started quoting me these exorbitant prices for furnaces (no A/C included), anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000 stating furnace prices have gone way up. He kept calling back for a few weeks before the scheduled duct cleaning even when I told him I am going to hold off purchasing one for now since we have an Enercare maintenance/repair plan and don't want to go into debt. His offer was a "deal" of around $11,800 for a $15,000 furnace. I investigated furnace prices and found out that the price of a furnace for my home came to about $5000 to $6000! I finally cancelled the duct cleaning out of frustration and feeling deceived. I thought calling a local company that has been established here for a long time with many positive reviews would be a good idea. Rather, it seemed that the salesman was likely deceitful and out to make $$$, trying to take advantage of a couple of older folks who he thought probably would not investigate what he was up to. Deplorable conduct and I will never use Boonstra to install a furnace in this house. I really wonder if Boonstra has inflated their Google review numbers using hired reviewers. I am very disappointed by this experience and I am going to update this review for a period of time so that it comes up first in the sort as the latest review allowing others to see it right away and they are not taken advantage of. Update April 2nd - I called Boonstra to inform them of my name, address, and the date, March 30th, that the duct cleaning was scheduled for and cancelled plus gave them the name of the salesman who came over. If I remember correctly it was Sean. The response by management of "they couldn't find me in their system" is obviously a fabrication to deflect the seriousness of this negative review. It is identical to how they responded to some other reviewers who have had negative experiences. A standard answer and shameful.
