Heat Pump Installation
17+
Years of Experience
Professional. Local. Certified Installs You Can Trust
At Hemlock Mechanical, our installation service reflects everything we stand for: expertise, integrity, and care for our community. We’re not a big national chain — we are your neighbour, your local HVAC and refrigeration expert, and we treat every job as a priority.
A one-man company may be smaller —
but the service is bigger, the workmanship is better, and the accountability is stronger.
If you want a system installed with care, expertise, and long-term reliability,
you’ll feel the difference working with Hemlock Mechanical.
Why Choose a One-Man, Owner-Operated HVAC Company?
Every install, every service call, every warranty visit…
it’s me who shows up at your door.
No guessing who’s coming, no inexperienced apprentice learning on your home, no rushed sub-contractors paid by the job.
You get:
My technical knowledge
My 17+ years of hands-on experience
My careful approach
My pride in neat, clean installations
I take the extra time to do things right because I’m the one who has to stand behind it.
Large companies often run on speed:
install fast, move on to the next home, hope the callback rate stays low.
I don’t work like that.
I take the time to:
route lines cleanly
seal penetrations properly
protect your home
level and support equipment correctly
size systems honestly
explain how to use your new system
test, commission, and balance everything before I leave
It’s the difference between “done” and done right.
You don’t call an office.
You don’t wait for dispatch.
You don’t get put in a queue behind dozens of other installs.
You call me — the same person who installed it —
and I come back personally to make it right.
That alone gives homeowners more peace of mind than any big brand name.
Bigger companies often push:
certain brands
certain SEER ratings
upgrades
extended warranties
upsells to hit quotas
I don’t.
I recommend what your home actually needs, the way I would for my own house.
My reputation is built locally, one install at a time — not through sales scripts.
I live in this community.
My customers are my neighbours.
Almost all of my business comes from referrals and reputation.
When you hire me, you’re not just buying a heat pump or a furnace —
you’re hiring a craftsman who genuinely cares about how your system looks, runs, and lasts.
I take pride in:
clean lineset installs
tidy electrical
solid mounting
quiet operation
accurate sizing
proper commissioning
long-term reliability
It’s the kind of pride you only get from an owner-operator.

Brands we Trust and Recommend
Choosing the right heat pump or HVAC system is more than picking a popular name — it’s about finding a system that fits your home, your budget, and your expectations for long-term support. At Hemlock Mechanical, we install a carefully selected range of brands based on reliability, parts availability, serviceability, and manufacturer support.
A Note on “Big Dealership” Brands
Large manufacturers like Daikin, Carrier, and similar offer strong products, but their dealer programs often come with heavy commitments. These include sales quotas, mandatory marketing programs, and restrictions on how service is performed or documented.
For many homeowners, the dealership badge doesn’t necessarily mean better installation quality — it often just means the company selling it has paid into the program.
The truth is:
The installer matters more than the brand badge.
The performance, efficiency, and lifespan of your heat pump depend on the quality of the installation, not the size of the dealership network.
That’s why we focus on brands that allow us to provide the highest quality install, transparent pricing, and unbiased recommendations — without locking you into a corporate sales structure.
