This company doesn't do that. It's clear, simple, fair and reliable.

AVOID. They installed a heat pump in my neighbour's unit…read more All is good until outside temperatures get low. When the outside temperature is below approximately 10 degrees Celsius, the unit, which they installed BTW maybe a couple of centimetres from my wall, vibrates very intensely. Once the temperature drops even lower it becomes truly unbearable. I'm getting headaches and even becoming dizzy. Based on my Internet research, the problem of heat pumps specifically causing problems like that for the neighbours of the heat pump owners is caused by either POOR INSTALLATION or a hardware problem. After dealing with the problem for approximately a year I am finally starting to understand it (with the help of AI). Now I'm collecting the data so I can get the strata or a court to enforce a fix for this problem.

Theo was the technician the first visit, and Sia did the recent call, both provided top shelf service. I found them to be on time, accurate, very fair price wise and ultimately highly trustworthy, along with being good people. They won't sell you something you don't need, but also won't just band aid a solution. They will recommend what is necessary to do now with an eye down the road as to what will be your best choice long term. In our case, they could have replaced the blower and other parts on the old furnace for about half the price of a new one (which comes with a 10 year warranty), so the decision was easy to replace the entire unit. Expensive now but don't have to worry about again. Cannot recommend these gentleman and this company enough!

This company solicited their service for furnace cleaning by telephone…read more They quoted $100 for this service. While cleaning the furnace they said they had to replace the furnace igniter and flame sensor. For the furnace ignitor they charged $349 and the flame sensor $189. On line you can see a furnace ignitor is $85 and the flame sensor is $13. So, I was charged $538 for parts valued at about $100 plus the furnace cleaning! When I complained about the high costs they gave me $100 back. I asked that they refund another $100 but they would not. My furnace was running fine before they worked on it and is working just the same now. So, it is hard to judge the quality of their work. I know they ripped me off with way too high prices for the parts. So, I would say this company has very poor ethics, don't let them into your home. They are just looking to take advantage of their customers, especially unsuspecting seniors.

In early Dec. 2025 I made a requested an estimate and servicing to BCVAC for air duct cleaning,…read moreservice of tankless hot water system, furnace and fireplace. Service was made next day however, to my surprise, it was a contracted provider (Midland Mechanical) who spent a total of 95 minutes (8:45 am - 10:20 am) completing all the work. Air duct cleaning was questionable. Most registers were not removed; no brush was used to loosen dirt in the vents and only a tiny nozzle was used to remove/suction external dust. I had questioned BCVAC regarding the use of a portable vacuum and was confident that large suction tubing was not required for a home however, in my research, it is clear that the air duct service was less than adequate. Most of MM's time was spent with the fireplace for my non-functioning remote. An initial quote of $348 by BCVAC turned out to be a cost of $867.55 to MM. MM insisted that the charge for tankless water heater was extra (later confirmed as an oversight and rectified by BCVAC). MM replaced fireplace remote (charging an added $393 including labor) and I had to provide the batteries as he didn't have any!! I disputed the charge for labor and cost of the remote but he was insistent. I later discovered that he had replaced the fireplace remote with a broken one. This, I believe, was intentional, as he demonstrated to me that he taped in the batteries telling me it was to prevent them from slipping out of place. There was no packaging indicating the remote was new. 2 days later, the first time I used it, the remote didn't work. Upon investigation we discovered that the battery latch locks were broken. I immediately cancelled the cheque, notified BCVAC and called to have the remote (batteries included!) removed by MM. I believe that BCVAC should have assumed the role of notifying MM however, it became clear at this point, that BCVAC functions only as a mediary and assumes no responsibility for the sub-contracted work. MM was angry that I hadn't given him an opportunity to replace the remote but it was clear that he intentionally charged me for broken equipment. I wanted nothing more to do with MM. Curiously, following his visit to disconnect and remove the remote, the fireplace pilot wouldn't maintain a flame. I then contacted Heritage Mountain H & C (a very reliable company) who spent nearly 1.5 hrs. at a cost of $396.38 to install a remote that I had purchased online. He determined that the safety circuit had been removed and wiring to the thermal couple port was not connected. (How did this happen??) He also cleaned the burner area, fixed the log placement and also issued a detailed invoice. In my opinion, had the fireplace been properly serviced by MM, the burner area would not need to be cleaned nor would the logs be out of place. Jesse from BCVAC was very cordial, honoured the quote for tankless water heater and issued a $50 gift certificate for future use but this experience will not encourage me to use BCVAC again.

I had two gas fireplaces installed by Vaglio last year. The one in the basement operated…read morebrilliantly. The remote control of the one on the main floor worked intermittently. Various solutions were attempted including replacing the remote. Nothing solved my problem. It didn't help my credibility that everything worked whenever the Vaglio people visited. Fortunately for me, Vaglio took me seriously. After trying everything else, they changed the type of remote control I had. Since then, all has worked perfectly. :-) The best explanation of my problem is that there is probably some intermittent radio signal that interfered with my original remote and that operated mostly out of business hours. The new remote uses a different system and thus manages to get through. Through all this the Vaglio people continued to work with me. I really want to thank Jeff F, Angus, and everyone else involved for their perseverance. It would have been very easy for them to just label me as a "problem customer". I really appreciate their effort and highly recommend Vaglio to anyone wanting a very nice gas fireplace. Thank-you! ... (another) angus

Sadly this would have been a 5 star review for this company. The showroom has many products on…read moredisplay, very good fireplace items, and the sales person was very knowledgeable with any of the questions we asked. We selected the Valor insert model that we wanted, and when we received the cost estimate, we gave the go ahead thinking that the overly high installation cost would be reduced once the installers completed the install. Such was not the case. Everything was cleared and wide open, ready to go. The two installers were at our place for 1 hour 40 minutes, and the installation fee was $1350. We were then told that the charge is the same whether the installers were on site for 1 hour or 8 hours. That's outrageous. Had I known, I would have let them tear the drywall out and remove the existing framing.
