Drake from 1888heatpumps arrived on time for the scheduled appointment to address the issue with my Fujitsu heat pump wall thermostat. He communicated clearly, thoroughly examined the system, and successfully restored its proper functioning. Drake's skilled and efficient approach impressed me, and I decided to add an additional task to the work order. The second part involved installing hardware to enable remote thermostat control via my mobile device. Again, Drake demonstrated excellent communication, efficiency, and accuracy in his work. This is the best HVAC company I have ever dealt with.
This is the most exceptional company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are honest, caring, and genuinely good people, but what truly sets them apart is their professionalism. The installation of a mini-split unit in our home was flawless from start to finish. They maintained cleanliness and organization throughout the project and were incredibly accommodating. The team even made multiple visits to strategize and ensure the unit would be properly installed considering our unique home layout. I highly recommend requesting Soepa for a quote and Andrei and Mike as your installers - you won't be disappointed.
The team at 1888 Heat Pump was absolutely wonderful to work with. As a client, I greatly appreciated their transparent and open communication throughout the entire process. The installation experience was seamless and enjoyable - the crew collaborated efficiently and professionally to get our unit up and running. I was particularly impressed by their teamwork and attention to detail, which ensured a smooth journey from start to finish. The quality of the product they installed is excellent, and the level of service they provided was refreshing. I would wholeheartedly recommend 1888 Heat Pump for any heat pump-related needs. They made the entire experience amazing, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Our heat pump installation went incredibly smoothly. Everyone we interacted with, from the planning stage to the scheduling and the actual installers, was highly responsive and helpful. It is evident that they take great pride in delivering exceptional work. I would highly recommend working with this company.
I cannot speak highly enough about the YJ Team! We had a fantastic experience with them installing two ductless mini split units. The consultation process was thorough, with Andrei taking the time to address our numerous questions and discuss the pros and cons of ducted versus ductless systems. The proposal was competitively priced, clearly explained, and included YJ handling multiple incentives on our behalf. Owen, Drake, and Mike executed the installation flawlessly, consulting us on all aesthetic decisions, arriving punctually, and efficiently completing the work without disrupting our work-from-home environment. Even after the installation, Andrei assisted us in gathering additional documentation to qualify for an extra incentive. It was a pleasure working with this team, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them for your heat pump installation needs.
