I had the pleasure of speaking with Lindsay when I called Harding yesterday regarding an issue with our air conditioning. With... the weather heating up, our home had been reaching uncomfortable temperatures as high as 26°C for the past two weeks, and we were really starting to feel it.What truly stood out was how kind, professional, and genuinely helpful Lindsay was throughout the entire process. We reached out just before a long weekend—one of the busiest times of the year—and despite the tight scheduling, Lindsay went out of her way to ensure we wouldn’t have to suffer through the heat. She arranged for a technician to come to our home at the end of his shift that very same day. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy a cool and comfortable home over the long weekend.Lindsay went above and beyond to help us, and her customer service was truly exceptional. We’re so grateful for her assistance. Thank you, Lindsay, for your dedication and for making such a big difference—we really appreciate it!The technician Jon Houde come to our home to repair our air conditioning, which hadn’t been working for over two weeks. Like I mentioned earlier, when he arrived, our house was sitting at a sweltering 26°C, and we were beyond ready for some relief from the heat.What truly impressed us was that Jon came all the way from his last service call in Winchester to our home in Cumberland—right before the long weekend, no less. That kind of dedication is rare and so appreciated.Jon was incredibly kind, professional, and patient. He took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on with our system and made sure we understood the issue and the fix. It was clear from the start that Jon takes a lot of pride in his work. He mentioned he’s been with the company for quite some time, and it absolutely shows. His experience, attention to detail, and genuine care for his customers really stood out.Thank you so much, Jon, for going the extra mile (literally) to help us out. Your hard work and dedication didn’t go unnoticed, and we’re so grateful you made time for us right before a busy long weekend!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

Harding Heating & Air Conditioning were excellent. We had an issue with our furnace fan and I spoke to Natasha Wright (Service... Coordinator) who first tried to troubleshoot the problem with me to save costs, etc. Once that didn't work, a technician, Marc Gagon, attended. He quickly diagnosed the problem (faulty control board), but didn't stop there. He investigated the source - water under the AC coils. Further, he went outside to ensure the A/C unit was working properly. Marc Gagon is very professional, competent and took the time to explain things. He is a asset to Harding Heating & Air Conditioning, along with Natasha Wright. I highly recommend this company for your heating and a/c needs. Shawnread more
