  • Excellent job doing the annual service on our gas fireplace! Randy was professional, friendly and exceeded my expectations. The fireplace was thoroughly checked and cleaned. I am pleased to recommend Adventage and Randy.

    Diane P.

  • Reliable company. We've used Advantage for our heat pump, hot water tank, gas fireplace and gas work for an outdoor reno. All work was done well as fairly priced.

  • My furnace took a hit during a renovation. I called Advantage Heating and explained I had no heat overnight. The dispatch team was super responsive. Randy came out the same day, professionally and rapidly assessed the situation, made the repair and got our family warm again. Seamless…Thanks!

  • We love Advantage! I have now used AHC for 4 homes, from complete heat pump conversions fron oil to new installations and now today, my Mom needed a new hot water tank. I texted Norm and he had Michele call me me back ( within 10 min) and she had their amazing plumber, Randy be able to complete it today!! Randy showed up first to inspect the tank and then returned and installed the new tank all by 1 pm!!! This is the best company in Victoria!!! Thank you Cory Beaudry

  • Our family's thanks to the team at Advantage Heating and Cooling in Victoria who pulled out the stops to help us over the Christmas holiday weekend. We were away in Toronto (Dec.27), and a neighbor let us know the temperature had dropped to 9 C in our house despite the thermostat being set at 19 C (two cats in the house), and Victoria's forecast was for 0 degrees. Advantage's owner (Norm) let me know that he was dispatching Wayne (Service Technician) to troubleshoot the issue which turned out to be a fried control board on our 9 year old furnace. Wayne brought two compact space heaters to keep the house safe from freezing water pipes and our pets warm while a control board was sourced. Randy (Service Technician), installed it on Dec. 29th, so we returned to a warm and safe house (cats and pipes were fine) during Victoria's first cold snap. Their office support (Winnie) helped us get the accounts sorted quickly. We could not be happier with Advantage Heating and Cooling with respect to their quick response, professional expertise and communications throughout the process. I highly recommend them and have no hesitation in contacting them for future heating/cooling issues.

    Jackie M.

  • Thanks to Advantage, we're now enjoying our brand new, high-efficiency gas furnace! The team was cheery, responsive, polite, and efficient, especially given the fact that we have an old and sometimes-funky house that required ingenuity and patience. They also put up with our curious pets! Thanks to Rylan, Sawyer, Andrew and the entire Advantage team.

    Jillian S.

  • Advantage Heating and Cooling installed equipment in my home in 2007 and have taken care of it ever since. Rylan performed the annual servicing of the heat pump and gas fireplace today. He resolved an issue with the fireplace thermostat, performed the system checks, cleaned the equipment and cleaned/replaced filters. He explained what he had done and showed me deterioration in an EAC filter warranting replacement. Rylan was friendly and courteous.

    Frances R.

  • Problem arose with the sensor when our gas fire was serviced. Rylan and the Andrew promptly made a couple of extra visits to diagnose and sort things out at no extra charge. Now the fire works fine.

    Liz A.

  • Norm was genial, and frank, and straight to the point, with choices, prices, and options. Super high on educative advice, high on smart service, and easy on sales. He did point out what the current rebates look like on upgrading to heat pumps, which is obviously good to know. Felt like having a partner with us, facing the challenge. We've been with them for quite some time, and plan to continue.

    Mark H.

  • Jamie replaced my hot water heater today. He called when he was 5 minutes out to tell me he was arriving. He was very careful taking out the old unit and installing the new one. He was very diligent about checking for any leaks and made certain every thing was clean and tidy at the end of the job. My nature is to observe and ask question and Jamie was very understanding answering my many odd questions. Many thanks, Jamie!

    John P.

  • Huge thanks To Jamie for the great install and to Andrew for the great explanation on how the system works. Cheers

    Paul K.

  • They install our hotwater on demand in a quick and efficient manner and they cleaned up needed them to come back to put different clips in and it was done quickly and efficiently. I would recommend them.

    Hali S.

  • I had an air conditioner installed open 3/28/2023 at our home from Advantage Heating And Cooling. Laying down the air duct was very tricky for one option and Braiden did an amazing job of installing it. The option Braiden installed was much more aesthetically pleasing. The upstairs room is cooled very quickly on hot days, which is very much appreciated. Adrian & Bruce did a great job of installing the outdoor unit, did a quality job and explained all of the maintenance items to do to keep the outdoor unit in top shape. I would highly recommend Advantage Heating & Cooling Ltd to anyone looking to have an air conditioner installed.

  • Sawyer did a great job on our interior hvac system. Couldn’t have asked for better. Keep em coming !

    Mateo M.

  • I have been in the construction business for 4 decades and have witnessed many HVAC contractors come and go. Advantage Heating and Cooling is "Head and Shoulders" above them all. They have an expert team for both installations and maintenance. Their hard working attitude, friendly service and fair price is something that is not common in today's market . It's not often I get to recommend a company with confidence and pride.

    Bob S.

  • Excellent service in response to our furnace malfunction. Wayne was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We will definitely use this company again.

    Margaret

  • They charge 130$ per hour, I told the boss I have two washrooms and a range hood that needs to be installed, and you can bring all the materials that you need and I will pay for that. But the boss didn't tell the staff, therefore, the staff went back and forth twice to shop for the materials, which takes another full hour. When I asked if you could take one hour down because you wasted too much time on picking up the materials, the boss got mad at me and yelled at me. update: their boss is a psycho, after I made the payment, he still kept calling me even after the staff was gone, and asked his staff to come again to make trouble. Feel bad for his staff. I have no idea why he didn't directly answer my questions,but put something else into my mouth. I'm doing the secondary suite, with all legal permits and inspections. There is nothing wrong with 130$ per hour, but if you bring many people to come here at the last 30 mins without my permission and say I have to pay them ALL, Is that reasonable?

  • I needed help installing an under the sink filter in our house and got wonderful service from Winnie who quickly booked a plumber for me. The plumber was very punctual, assertive and efficient. Would totally recommend them!

    Anislene T.

  • Late Sunday got a report that a pipe was leaking in our church furnace room. Did a quick inspection, found a slow leak and called Norm at Advantage who called back in 5 min. Met their man Bruce on scene early the next day. After a short inspection he came up with a plan where the water would only be shut off for a short period so as not to interrupt the preschool. Got the necessary parts and fabricated a replacement section of pipe and installed it in short order. Gotta love these guys. Fast, friendly and efficient.

    Robert C.

  • Jamie Houston came to install a heat pump at our place. The heat pump works well, and we are happy with the system's efficiency. We appreciated very much Jamie's professionalism. He didn't hesitate to do what was necessary to ensure everything worked well. Thank you

    Yvon M.

  • We had fast dame day service when our furnace stopped working. It took a bit of digging but the problem was then quickly rectified. And now we are warm again.

    Catherine R.

  • We were very pleased with the service given for a problem with our furnace. Bobby was so helpful and cared about getting our furnace repaired as quickly as possible. He went above and beyond in helping us with this repair. Thank you.

    S. M.

  • Very helpful. Recommended.

    Jane J.

  • We found ourselves in the cold, on a snowy day in Victoria. Jamie was kind, quick and courteous. He found the issues within no time and rectified it with no fuss. We would highly recommend Jamie and this business.

    Reception A.

  • Advantage installed a high efficiency gas furnace in our home in 2020. They were easy to work with, came through on their commitments and helped us choose the right product for our home. Couldn't be happier.

    Darrell S.

  • Great company to work with. Called today for a service and the technician (Bobby) was here within 2 hours. He provided a quick and professional service and took care of everything. Our house is now warm and cosy!
