"I’ve had ongoing issues with my ducted system over the years, and Canar ended up replacing the entire system for me. After the install, we still had problems with airflow, but he stuck with it and kept trying different solutions until we got to the root of the issue. Because my system was older with very long duct runs, it needed additional fans to properly push the air through, something most modern systems don’t account for.
He really went above and beyond, especially during a very hot summer when we needed it most.
He’s also done a lot of maintenance work for me over the years and has consistently fixed issues that larger companies like Fonko couldn’t resolve."

"We entrusted I Air Projects with the heating, cooling, and ventilation system for our architectural home, and the result is nothing short of exceptional. The system combines luxury design with advanced functionality, elegant grills and diffusers that blend seamlessly as a piece of art, paired with a smart zone controller that works effortlessly with WiFi and Android. What impressed us most is the quiet comfort: no sound, no draft, just perfect indoor climate. This is not a standard installation; it is a bespoke solution executed with remarkable skill and attention to detail. Canar has delivered something truly unique, and we could not be happier."

""I Air Project recently installed a heat pump in my house, and I am absolutely thrilled with their service. Their team displayed dedication, professionalism, and expertise from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, and scheduling was handled smoothly, making the entire process stress-free.
What stood out to me was their commitment to using high-quality materials and delivering exceptional workmanship with a perfect finish. Every detail was taken care of with precision, leaving me confident in the durability and performance of the installation.
I followed their advice throughout the process, and I can confidently say it paid off. I won. These guys are incredibly knowledgeable about HVAC systems, offering insights and solutions that truly make a difference.
After experiencing their outstanding service firsthand, I completely agree with all the positive reviews I read before choosing them. I Air Project has genuinely earned its stellar reputation, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality HVAC services.""

"I've done the research so you dont have to! Working with Canar was fantastic. While being reasonably priced, Canar was attentive, with excellent communication and no task too small. Canar was incredibly thoughtful and mindful and while he was doing the installation, I was trying to work, while also having 2 inside cats that we didn't want to go outside. Canar made sure that he, and all those working with him for the installation were mindful of both, while also trying to complete their own work. I couldn't recommend Canar enough and personally, for future heatpump installation needs I will look no where else! The units installed on Canar's recommendation are perfect - extremely quiet which is what we were after with excellent features, and incredibly cost effective. Canar also found time to fix the door to the under the house area which had broken off a week prior to the installation - which now operates better as a door than it did before it broke! Thank you Canar!"

He listened to what I wanted to achieve and made recommendations accordingly. His quote was competitive, his workmanship excellent, and his communication and commitment to the job outstanding. I felt in very capable hands. To top it off, he is a very nice guy and it was a pleasure to have him around.

"Canar has now supplied and installed two different aircon units in our home over the last few years. Both times, he was impeccably on time, did what he said he would, and was clean and tidy, with a smile. I'd never hesitate to recommend him to anyone, and I hope that his business can continue to thrive off the back of his hard work and integrity.
Thanks Canar, I almost wish we'd need another unit at our place (but we're now cool in summer through the house!)."

"I am thrilled with I Air Projects' exceptional service in supplying and installing the Daikin central ducted system in our spacious home. Complete with fresh air and a Wi-Fi-controlled zone controller. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with their service.
First and foremost, their knowledge and expertise in HVAC were truly remarkable. They demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the system and its intricacies. What stood out even more was their ability to offer alternative solutions and various creative ideas. Evidently, they approached the project as if it were being installed in their own home, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered.
One of the standout features was their ingenious plan to minimize the noise from the outdoor unit. Their thoughtful approach not only enhanced our comfort but also considered the well-being of our neighbours. This level of consideration showcased their dedication to customer satisfaction.
Moreover, their passion for their work was unmistakable. This enthusiasm translated into a clean and tidy installation process. They left no mess behind, which is something I greatly appreciated.
In conclusion, I Air Projects exceeded my expectations in every way. Their HVAC expertise, innovative thinking, and dedication to customer satisfaction made the entire experience exceptional. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch HVAC solutions.👍 🙂"

We could not have been happier with the work he did, from guiding us to the correct, to the installation which was not straight forward. He was professional and considerate of our wishes every step of the way, and even arranged for us to have an additional electrical job done not related to what he was hired to do. His pricing was fair and his service top quality."

"I cannot speak more highly of the experience with Canar at I Air. Took the time with multiple site visits prior to deciding to proceed. He provided great advice on options, installation approach and best choices on appliances, sizing and installation locations to maximise efficiency.
Once making a decision to proceed, the communication regarding delivery and installation timing was always ensuring our expectations were being met gave us a very high degree of trust.
The installation was not an easy straightforward one, however Canar handled it as a true professional working hard to keep customer satisfaction as his number one priority.
I would highly recommend Canar and I Air as someone to work with and the service provided was first class and was priced very competitively. Thanks for your great work, we are thrilled with the results!"

When we decided that we would like the heat pump to be a floor-standing one, he returned willingly to discuss this and re-quote for that portion of the job. Installation was a breeze, with the job being done without fuss and minimal disruption and no mess afterwards. We are thrilled with our heat pump and have no qualms in having Canar and his men come back in the Spring to install the ducted system."

"Canar and his tradespeople were friendly, hard-working and reliable. Our job was a four day complex one to replace a gas ducted unit with a heat pump central unit. The quality of work was great. Canar was so hardworking, friendly, professional and communicative. His timings were spot on and his work ethic was proven repeatedly as trustworthy (in terms of when payment required, and sorting out removal of old system). He took the extra care to hide the ducting inside a cabinet with a builder, when I asked if another alternative given could be avoided. He was patient with me when I needed to make decisions. I immediately knew he would be a good person to deal with when he came to quote, and was really happy when his quote came in very competitively. I’d recommend him to anyone who would treat him fairly as he did us. Thanks so much Canar and all the best. Will hope to use you again in other projects."

We had two rentals that needed heating installed and he quickly arranged to meet me on site where we agreed to install Daikin Heat Pumps in both. His quotes were reasonable, he promptly installed the units, showed the tenants how to use them and sent me details of the job including pictures of the installed sysytems. The installations were done well and both the tenants and ourselves are very happy with the result.
I highly recommend Canar."

"Canar installed a heat pump at my house recently. He was highly professional, efficient and polite from start to finish. He came to my house for a consultation and site inspection. We then discussed the heating needs of my home and Canar recommended the most suitable model, also taking energy star ratings etc into consideration. It is very clear that he is a real expert in the field! Canar followed up very promptly (on the same day) with a very competitive quote, and politely & comprehensively answered any questions I had. He was able to install the heat pump just a few days later. He and his colleague worked very diligently all day - they were very thorough, and did an outstanding job. And so did the electrician who came on site as well. I am very satisfied with the end result & highly recommend Canar and I-Air Projects - thank you very much, Canar!"

"Canar did an excellent job of replacing an old Daikin 3.5kw unit that I had installed over 21 years ago in 1998 with a new Cora FTXM50U after first replacing an old Mitsubishi electric in a bedroom with a FTXM25U that hadn't lasted anywhere near as long a few weeks earlier. Both went faulty in the winter of 2019. Not worth fixing.
I had been searching high and wide for the best units to have fitted and decided to go with Daikin again as it was probably the best as it lasted so long and was quiet, they are also still made in the same country after 22 years. In the USA on Amazon they have a 12 year warranty, here we get 5 years, I never had a call out in 21 years out of warranty and just cleaned the filters, I find it best to wash them as they can get a little grease on them, this one was close to the kitchen.
So yearly servicing by a tech is probably best saved up if you can wash the filters and put it toward a replacement in future.
The wifi is great to turn on the unit when out for dinner or coming home early from work to work in the office, although a little challenging for a bit at first, I should have read the Manual on the app as you need to save details of "Not at Home" (out of house) on the left side of options in app after creating the user name and password on the right side.
And you need to wait a bit for the app to work, some times it takes a few seconds for it to work, once setup it can take over a minute to work through there system, but work it does, so all good for go in the end.
I got the best deal for the wifi add on from Canar and overall am very impressed, sad to have to need these in 2020, in the 1970's we just needed more heaters and air cond in the car.
Canar knows what to do if we get over 46 c, they use a different system in hotter countries, so we are all good for the future, he is very knowledgeable and does the installs so you get the professional on the job. Which is great . On time and took the old heat pumps away and cleaned up well after a long day each time. Best installs I have had done. Go well."

"Needed a heat pump installed into rental property town house, I reached out to several suppliers, Canar was first to respond.
He got that he needed to liaise with the tenants, quoted quickly and had the tenants approval.
Another supplier was off hand, missed the first appointment and kept trying to set time up with me not the tenant.
Canar was marginally cheaper but a much beeter experience.
The install was done well on time on quality and on price. He tidied up too.
The sparky he used was... adequate, there was a bit of damage around the wall outlet and a minor amount of mess. Canar had worked to such a good standard that the sparkys work was the only thing that stops me saying perfect job.
Excellent service and a good experience"

"Introduction/Background:
Our old heat pump suddenly stopped working just as the temperature dropped so we were looking to quickly obtain a new one.
Although we were in a hurry to purchase a new heat pump, i wanted to ensure that the replacement unit was the correct size for the space, energy efficient and made by a reputable brand. I did extensive research before contacting numerous companies to obtain quotes and/or organise an on-site consultation.
There are a vast number of heat pump suppliers/installers in Auckland providing varying levels of service. Some wouldn't provide an estimate over the phone, others wouldn't give unbiased advice and pushed the brands that suited them.
Eventually i decided to go with either; Mitsubishi Electric or Daikin. I obtained a few quotes for each model and the Mitsubishi was cheaper to purchase/install but the Daikin was more efficient to run. I was struggling to make a decision until i stumbled upon I-Air Projects.
Review - Consultation and Quote:
I phoned Canar and asked for a quote over the phone; he was upfront, honest and provided a very competitive estimate. He explained that Mitsubishi currently had a supply issue and we would have to wait weeks before he could obtain a unit. I phoned him back later that afternoon and arranged for him to come to my house the following day for an on-site consultation and an accurate quote.
He advised/confirmed the best models for the intended space and provided some brochures for each brand. He was polite, genuine and promised to give me a good price; which he emailed through later that evening.
He was true to his word and did provide a very good price, I initially thought it was too good to be true and wondered what the catch was! However, based on the reviews on this website and after some further email communication with Canar i decided to proceed. I accepted the quote on Wednesday evening and he agreed to do the install on the coming Monday - Going out of his way to satisfy our request for an urgent installation.
Review - Installation and Workmanship:
He turned up on time and worked tirelessly throughout the day. He gave me the option to keep the existing capping or replace it with new capping. He recommended replacing it and upon viewing the new capping i agreed.
He was polite throughout and happily answered my questions about the unit and the installation. I got the impression that he would rather take his time and do the job properly, rather than sacrifice quality for speed.
The end result is a tidy and professional install; the pipework and capping to the outdoor unit were very well executed even though it is largely out of site. I'm disappointed that i didn't take a 'before' photo to help illustrate how much better it looks now.
Conclusion:
I'm quite particular and i know i can be hard to please, especially when it comes to work on my vehicles and house. Having said that, I'm very satisfied with the advice, product and workmanship provided by Canar. He communicates well and genuinely appears to put the customer's needs first.
We are very satisfied with our new Daikin Cora FTXM50R heat pump and the Wi-Fi option is a game changer. The app allows you to monitor and control the unit whilst you are away from home, it also makes programming the timer a breeze. We have only used the unit for heating so far but it has done the job with ease.
I would happily use Canar for our future heat pump requirements and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Canar and I-Air Projects to family and friends."
