Ed has been our HV tech for several years. He has an eye for safety and always goes the extra mile to ensure everything is working. Even our dog loves his yearly visits!
We just had our central AC installed by Distinct Heating & Cooling, and I must say, I am very pleased and happy with our choice! Nate the owner is very knowledgeable and thorough with us when it came to initial assessment, he spent well over a hour with us and taught us a lot about HVAC maintenance, and when it came to the actual installation, Kristian the lead technician was very professional and he did a great job putting it all together. Once again I’m very happy with the AC unit and would definitely recommend them to anyone that’s looking to get AC installed in Calgary!
Erin was also amazing with booking our appointment and getting back to my emails quickly.
Every interaction that I’ve had with distinct heating and cooling has been professional and so easy. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, and am really happy I found them.
His office and technical staff are top-notch, prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly!
Aidan Burlando has big shoes to fill and is doing so with flying colors. Every time he is over for our annual servicing, he provides great service and advice to help us get the most out of our systems.
Thanks Everyone!
Highly Recommend! 5🌟
Kind and caring company
Thank you
We hired Distinct Heating and Cooling for the installation of a new furnace, an AC unit, and some minor jobs.
Their service team (Kristian, Jaden) were always on time (on the minute), communicated clearly, were minimally intrusive, performed the installation perfectly, and cleaned up perfectly.
We are very happy with their service.
The company had been recommended to us by 2 sets of friends, who also received air conditioners (and furnaces) from them.
We really wish we had found this company when we intially installed our furnace and we would have likely avoided a ton of problems from the previous installers. Highly recommend them based on both their professionalism, quality of work and fair pricing!
I had information packages from a Home Show a couple of years back and called in 2 companies for a quote.
The first company in did a walk about, asked a few questions and sent me a quote with 3 different options and combinations.
Nate from Distinct showed up; on time - did a walk around, asked many questions, pointed out several issues and problems with my current set up. Nate also explained exactly what they would do, how the job would go, the remedies to the issues he revealed and how York was a quality product with a very good warranty.
Nate then went through the various products they offered – all being the York brand, and explained the differences, and the benefits of each. We spent over one 1.5 hours and only ended because I had an online meeting. Following the meeting, I had a few more phone questions, before I made the choice to go with Distinct.
Two weeks later, Nate, Christian and Jordan completed the set up on the furnace, and did the rough in on the AC. The job took two full days, with dozens of measurements, (more like hundreds) making sure all was level, aligned and was finished to look neat, compact and easy to access for future maintenance. They even made sure that if I (or a future owner) wanted to finish the basement, all the work was done to make the finishing work easier.
During the install, all three who did the work answered all my questions, seemed to actually enjoy working together and were professional, pleasant and most of all - competent.
As an additional comment, Nate went beyond the scope of the normal job and sourced and installed 3 louvered vent covers, which were quite the eye sore. When you get him in for a quote, ask him about my steel roof! Not sure he will ever go up on one in winter ever again!
Summary
Over the last 2-3 months, I have spent a great deal of time researching the various HVAC brands and products available in Calgary.
My choice came down not to the brand, for I feel most of the major brands have good product, but to the quality of the install. That is why I went with Distinct and everything I have experienced so far confirms I made the right choice.
They were so thorough and meticulous in their work. It looks amazing in our furnace room. The went above and beyond our expectations. They were here for 3 full days as it was a huge job. They were super neat and tidy each day, cleaning up and putting things aside for the next day. They were organized, worked extremely hard all day and explained what was going on each morning and the progress being made. There was no wasted time, they just got to it and put in long days to get it done.
The work looks amazing. Both furnaces and the new air conditioner are so much more efficient now and we can feel the difference already with the heating system. We look forward to the cooling in the hot summer months. We also like that the new air conditioner is not a big old clunky green unit like we used to have. It's now attached to the side of the house and looks so much better.
We had originally met with the owner when we were getting quotes for this job, and we were impressed by his knowledge of what needed doing, especially as he looked around and found things the previous owner of our home had done in the basement development that needed fixing. He assured us that it would be done right and done well. He was not kidding. We know this system will serve us well for many years to come. We will continue to use Distinct for service moving forward.
We highly recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their home heating and cooling systems. You simply couldn't find a more professional company, whose owner and staff are wonderful to deal with, who treat your home like it's their own and really care about doing the job to the highest standards.
Thank you all so much for the great experience we had and for the excellent job that was done! We are extremely happy with everything!
** UPDATE - DEC 5th, We had our A/C fully installed by Kristian and Jaden. They were on time, friendly and polite, plus everything was cleanly installed. Jaden explained the new Thermostat and all its features, while Kristian explained everything in the furnace room and what he did to get our new unit installed. All the improvements they made when uncovering some bad work previously done was also amazing. Their care and attention was so appreciated. Couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Distinct and their team to anyone. Thank you!

Ed did our install for us he was prompt, professional and willing to answer all my questions and gave us some helpful tips as we plan to add A/C and dealing with an older furnace. He took the time to ensure parts were replaced and that the finished installation was tidy. His attention to detail is greatly appreciated.
I highly recommend Distinct Heating & Cooling Ltd.
“Nate, Kristian, and the team did an HVAC overhaul for me. I got a cold climate heat pump, back-up furnace, heat recovery ventilator, and air filtration system – and it all went into the smallest mechanical room you’ve ever seen.
Nate didn’t try to upsell me and helped me understand the pros and cons of different options. Kristian led the work on installation and was unfailing friendly and polite. They left my home spotless, and the work is excellent. The heat pump and backup furnace are all working beautifully and the wiring and ducting is the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Not only is my house warm, but we don’t get nearly as much temperature variation between floors. Truly impressed.”
