An Eco-Friendly HVAC Upgrade

An Eco-Friendly HVAC Upgrade

Guelph, ON

Buchanan & Hall recently completed an installation project for Mike Schreiner, a Guelph resident committed to eco-friendly living. Our team installed an air source heat pump and a high-efficiency electric water heater, aligning with Mike’s goal of reducing and eventually eliminating his reliance on carbon-based gas appliances.

Mike Schreiner is actively transitioning to more sustainable living by minimizing the use of fossil fuels in his home. His decision to switch to electric-based heating and cooling systems, including modern HVAC solutions, reflects his dedication to combating climate change and promoting a healthier planet. This upgrade aligns with his personal values and serves as a strategic investment that promises significant savings on utility bills in the future.

Mike has been particularly thrilled with the smart thermostat feature, a key component of this modern HVAC system. He appreciates the convenience of being able to manage his home’s temperature remotely. Whether preparing his home for visitors or ensuring energy efficiency while he’s away, the remote control capabilities have proven to be an invaluable feature.

By choosing Buchanan & Hall for his HVAC needs, Mike Schreiner is not only enhancing his home’s sustainability but also paving the way for a greener future.

This air source heat pump system provides heating and air conditioning by transferring heat to and from outside using an eco-friendly liquid refrigerant. It extracts heat from the outdoor air for winter heating and expels heat outside during summer, ensuring year-round indoor comfort.

The unit’s adjustable inverter modulates according to the needs of the living space. This helps in sustaining a consistent room temperature, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing the noise level of both the indoor and outdoor units.


Mike’s Experience


What led you to contact Buchanan & Hall, and what factors influenced your decision to choose us for your project?

“I want to save money and reduce climate pollution by eliminating fossil gas from my house. Buchanan & Hall was recommended to me as a quality company that installs electric heat and cooling pumps at a fair price. B&H gave me a clear quote with options so that I could make the best decision for our family’s home.”

How would you describe your experience with the sales and design process at Buchanan & Hall?

“B&H clearly outlined the options I could choose from to meet the objectives I had to save money and reduce pollution from our home. The staff clearly explained the costs and benefits of various options so that I could make the best decision for our family.”

How was your experience with the installation process conducted by Buchanan & Hall?

“B&H quickly installed the system as described and did a great job of cleaning up. You could barely tell they had been working in our home.” 

How did you feel about customer service and interacting with our team?

“I received professional, high quality service from B&H. The team was easy to deal with and explained everything clearly to me from start to finish. They followed up with me to make sure the system was working properly and to inquire whether I had any questions.” 

Would you recommend Buchanan & Hall to others for similar projects?

“I am more than satisfied with the quality and service I received from B&H, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a heat and cooling pump installed.” 

What did you enjoy most about working with our company?

“I really valued the fact that B&H clearly shared my goals of saving money and reducing pollution in our home. It was a positive experience working with a company that shares my values, provides high quality work at a reasonable price, and was so easy to work with.” 

Did you encounter any problems during the process, and how did we assist in resolving them?

“The only challenge we faced with B&H was that the team mistakenly removed a rental hot water heater that I needed to return. When it was clear that they would not be able to retrieve it, B&H offered to pay the rental buyout without hesitation. I’m sure that was a financial hit, but B&H was professional and prioritized customer service. My respect for them only increased.”
