Absolutely amazing Service experience. Adam came and thoroughly cleaned our fireplace. Our fireplace was not working before he arrived and he got it up and running. We were told by previous company... that we needed parts. Adam was very polite and explained what he was doing as he did it. Thank you so much, Adam. I’m sure we will see you again.read more

We've had Harding clean our air ducts and they always do an excellent job. We recently had them come in to check our AC when it wasn't running during a heat wave. Would have paid anything to get... that sweet AC running again. Turns out it was just a blown fuse we missed. Honest people!read more

I am very happy with my purchase and the fireplace installation. My wife and I have used it multiple times since it was installed and it works exactly as advertised. It turned a cold room in to a... comfy room that we thoroughly enjoy.My wife and I were leaning towards purchasing a fireplace with high BTU output and a fan. The team at Harding pushed back, and said we would be too hot. I appreciate their honesty. Consider they gave up a bigger sale.The installers (James + Adam) were thorough, neat and patient answering our many questions. I told them that my former wood fireplace had an ice-cold hearth. I asked them why, and they showed me that the original fireplace was not assembled correctly; it allowed cold air to come down around the fireplace, especially the hearth. It was awful. I really appreciated how they sealed the leak and added insulation. The problem was eliminated.The finishing team (Brandon and colleague) were also meticulous. They did not rush the job. I was out of town during the finishing and they suggested WhatsApp video calls, which worked very well and allayed my concerns.I would especially like to acknowledge Kirsten Neumarker. She is the project coordinator at Harding who schedules resources to install and finish fireplaces. She is very organized and is an excellent communicator. She reached out to me proactively and worked hard to accommodate my schedule also. She would often answer my emails and phone calls in minutes. I find this uncommon among contractors. She made a difference.Overall, a positive experience and I recommend them without reservations.Oh, and check out the photo attached of the finished product. We love it!Mikeread more

The were able to schedule us in asap for the install before winter hit! They showed up on-time for the installation and all went well! Definitely recommend.read more

We had Luc and Dylan from Team Harding to our house to relocate a gas line for our kitchen range. The mechanics showed up on time and were very nice and friendly during the whole appointment.

AC Troubleshooting
Sometimes, an AC issue could have a simple solution that you can handle. Check and try these quick fixes before calling for AC repair.
Inside the Home
- Make sure the thermostat is turned to cool.
- Check to see if you need new batteries in the thermostat. If batteries are older than 1 year old, they should be replaced.
- Is the furnace switch turned on? (It looks like a light switch, and is located in the basement, usually higher on the wall near the basement stairs or door to the furnace room).
- Check the furnace filter- if your filter is more than one month old you should replace and/or clean it.
- Is the furnace fan running with the HRV switched off and the thermostat fan set to ‘auto’? This tells us if the thermostat is calling for A/C if the fan is running.
- Is the breaker in the breaker panel turned on? Normally it is a double breaker marked A/C.
- Is there water leaking from the furnace? If yes, it is probably frozen- turn off for 24 hours.
- Is there ice on the pipes or ductwork in the basement? If so, the unit must be thawed 24-48 hours before booking a service call. Readings will not be right if the unit is frozen and we will not be able to properly diagnose.
- Is your equipment an Enercare rental? You will have to contact the rental company for service.
Outside the Home
- Is the A/C cover removed from the unit?
- Is the disconnect box turned on? It’s a grey box with a plug/handle on the outside wall beside the unit.
- Is there ice on the outside of the unit or pipes? If so, the unit must be thawed 24-48 hours before booking. Readings will not be right if the unit is frozen and we will not be able to properly diagnose.
- Are the fins on the unit dirty or clogged? If so, disconnect the high voltage power for the A/C in the panel, then rinse with the water hose (do not use a pressure washer).
- It must be over 18C outside so we can diagnose your unit properly.
If none of these solutions work, call Team Harding for AC repair.
