  • Horrible service. The owner did a job for us and gave us the bill before even telling us the price. Then proceeded to send us to collections. Worst experience I’ve ever had. Go somewhere else!!!

  • Had to replace old furnace and also add AC. Kevin came by for an assessment, he was friendly, took his time and answered all of our questions (which were many). Installation was done by Blair and Colin, they were on time, professional, in and out same day. Lots of work but everything was cleaned up and the only evidence they had been there was the nice cool breeze coming from our expertly mounted AC. Super happy!

  • Longstanding customer of 20 plus years. Benson Heating installed a new gas hot water tank this week & once again they went above & beyond. Kevin, Blair & Wilson did an excellent installation & removal of old unit. We highly recommend using Benson Heating. Also thanks to Kelly their most pleasant office manager.

  • Furnace died in this terrible winter. Contacted Kevin at Benson. And they installed a beautiful brand new furnace today. Did an awesome job! Great guys too.

  • I’ve known Kevin Benson of Benson Heating and Cooling for several years and have always found him to be professional, reliable, and a person of true integrity. He takes great pride in his work and consistently delivers excellent service. I highly recommend Benson Heating and Cooling to anyone looking for trustworthy and skilled HVAC support in Barrie.

  • Kevin and partners are the embodiment of professionals in what they do. Kevin has encyclopedic knowledge of the codes surrounding HVAC systems and will apply these in the way you’d want any professional working on your home or business to take care of you. He has done personal work at home and for friends as well as my own small business. I’ve had experience with him in both heating and cooling and he is punctual, professional and gets the job done right every time. I refer Kevin any time I can as he is a true pro.

  • I called Kevin on a Friday afternoon about our air conditioning not working. He was able to come to our house later that afternoon to have a look. Kevin was incredibly friendly, kind and thorough. He checked over everything and quickly identified the problem all the while taking the time to explain to me what he was looking for and what the next steps would be. Luckily it was a simply fix but I could tell Kevin had a wealth of knowledge that if it had been a more complicated problem he would have had no trouble solving it! I will without a doubt call him for any future furnace/air conditioning needs and will definitely be recommending him to others who could use his services!

  • Hired Kevin recently and have never dealt with such a kind professional individual. Can’t give enough credit. So easy to work with and went above and beyond to ensure our home was taken care of. Will recommend benson heating and air to anyone I know that is in the simcoe area.

  • Kevin recently came out to assess our furnace, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Kevin was incredibly thorough, taking the time to carefully inspect and evaluate everything. What stood out most was his kindness and willingness to explain every detail, ensuring I fully understood the situation and my options. He answered all my questions patiently and made me feel confident in the next steps. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet approachable. I highly recommend Kevin for anyone in need of honest and reliable HVAC services!

  • I just want to let you know how happy I was with Blair this morning. He was early for my appointment, extremely personable, polite and efficient. He made improvements to the furnace system with improved drainage, all while repairing the original issue, offering professional opinions and advice and giving me a heads up about the next likely issue with my furnace. You and your crew are always such a pleasure to deal with and I am always thankful for your work!

    Krysta C.

  • Kevin was brought in by my restoration company during an insurance claim. He provided expert knowledge, clearly explained the process, and then returned with his team and changed the furnace out once approved. Friendly, pride in workmanship, and cleaned my utility room up when job was complete. Would highly recommend, and will be using for all my needs moving forward.

    Martin A.

  • Very knowledgeable. He listened to us and understood the issues that we were having (after 2 separate companies came and dismissed us). He took the time and consideration to do the work that was necessary to get it back up and running. Would recommend Kevin 11/10 to anybody that needs HVAC services. It also helps that he is so extremely pleasant. Thank you Kevin for all your hard work and dedication!

  • Oct /2024 this started . From the start we called them, they weren’t available for over two weeks.. he got to my home I’m disabled I asked that he call me when he gets there as I can’t hear the door and when I’m alone I can’t come downstairs stairs by myself , he sat outside for over 15 mins before calling me .. so when he calls I’m not dressed so I needed time to get ready before letting a man in my home.. he complains to my landlord i made him wait .. I tell him he can walk in now , again I’m not able to answer to let him in as the stairs . he’s there maybe 30 mins looks over my Not digital Ac, not wifi AC unit that had stopped working, hoses it down with water as I live in a construction site and the dust is crazy and says I need a new one , this one is done and leaves . He writes a report that says because I need the home kept at a low temperature for my health condition that I’m abusing my unit and that it broke because it’s not meant to be used as a medical device or in low temperatures.. because the one day he comes in it’s cold outside .. then gave my landlord the whole report and sent a bill for $5200.00 stating it’s my fault because I’m using it like a medical device and that I stated I used it in the winter.. which in fact I never stated any of this, he never even asked wat temperature I keep it at , nor could he tell by looking at my thermostat .. I simply stated I’m sick and need the home at a certain temperature as I get very sick if I get hot and can’t function.. so I want it fixed before the heat comes . he leaves and my landlord states we’re waiting on his report for over 6 months .. I called another company who came in within 2 days and they found it’s still under warranty within an hour of arrival and it’s just the compressor needs replacing . The new company was able to order and will be installing it next week .. also had the guy look and says there no way to tell what I kept my temperature at that so that wouldn’t make since , and that most likely all the construction dust was probably the issue . The tech from benson told my landlord, which told me that apparently I stated I used my AC in the winter, which is a lie, so either these guys are friends with AG property and will write whatever they ask to try and money grab the tenants and just wrote whatever they wanted to try and hoax me into buying a new unit or they are just plain liars .. either way worst company to work with they don’t listen and don’t actually do there job are just out for money , wasn’t personable or accommodating. Found Kay-Gen of Innisfil small family run business and I’m very happy now!

  • Kevin is the only one we trust with our home. His recommendations are honest and have never let us down. We highly recommend him for every thing heating and air conditioning.

    Glen R.

  • I would give Kevin and his crew 6 stars if that were possible. They have been looking after our HVAC needs for over a decade. Trustworthy, reliable service every time. Kevin is very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions or concerns. He won't try to sell you anything that you don't need. He has gone above and beyond for us numerous times. Highly recommend.

  • I contacted Kevin Benson as I was interested in a ductless A/C unit for my cottage. However after inspecting my house Kevin talked me out of the more expensive ductless unit and I purchased a regular A/C unit that is integrated into my furnace... it works great. Kevin's team arrived promptly exactly when they said they would they installed the A/C unit neatly and were very professional. Subsequently I installed an Ecobee thermostat but could not get the A/C unit to run. Matt one of Kevin's technicians came the next day and cheerfully fixed the problem which was of my making all with out charge. This is amazing customer service. I have and will continue to recommend Benson Heating and Air. I'm glad I found them. Brian

  • Had an issue with our furnace and called Benson Heating and Air. Kevin came quickly and fixed our issue with ease. We have an older furnace and figured we would be sold a new one, Kevin did address that fact but advised how we could keep it running a little longer. We appreciated his honesty, the fair price and his professionalism. Thanks Kevin.
