We purchased a high-efficiency furnace from Costco. Mike answered all my questions at Costco and was available over the phone when we had more questions. Once purchased, we were connected with John, our project manager. He went to the house to see the space and find out if anything else needed to be done with the installation. The Costco package covers a basic installation, but our set up required a couple of extra things, which he patiently explained. He included some optional extras in his quote as well. We had to book an Alberta energy evaluation before we could get the furnace installed. John explained the process and gave us the name of a company that other clients have used and been happy with. You have to book the evaluation first so the auditor can see your old equipment. It's a full house energy audit, so they check the efficiency of your home and make recommendations. VerdaTech is the company we used and it was very quick and easy to book the appointment. It took about two hours and Marco said we could install a new furnace that same day if we'd wanted to. He gave us a number that Arpi's would need in order to get the rebate paperwork processed for us. We had David and his helper, Kale, installing the new furnace for us. David called and let me know he was about to leave that morning and how long it would take to get to the house. It was great and helpful to get the heads up from him. It looked like a lot of work and they seemed very thorough and efficient throughout the day. They explained what they needed to do and made sure the order was correct before they began work. They had to core through the concrete out the side of the house, remove the old furnace, etc., and at the end of the day, everything was clean and organized. They even closed off a vent we no longer needed. They were friendly and patient with questions, and got it all completed around 5 PM. We received the warranty information via email, as well as information on booking a city inspection for the furnace, which we did right away. We're very happy with the team and how seamless the installation day went. We would definitely recommend them!
