Iceberg Home Services HVAC Contracts in Ontario

Toronto-area HVAC and rental operator with sustained BBB complaint patterns regarding contract clarity, billing after equipment removal, and buyout disputes.

Iceberg Home Services — also marketed as Iceberg Comfort — is a Toronto-area HVAC and rental operator with a sustained pattern of Better Business Bureau complaints regarding rental contract clarity, billing after equipment removal, and buyout disputes. The agreements cover furnaces, air conditioners, water heaters, and tankless systems.

If your Iceberg agreement was sold at the door, contains long-term commitments, or has produced unexpected billing or buyout demands, the 2018 amendments to Ontario's Consumer Protection Act may apply.

Also known as: Iceberg Comfort.

What These Contracts Typically Look Like

  • Long terms — typically 10 years or more
  • Total obligations several times the equipment's installed value
  • Property registration on title common
  • Agreements sometimes assigned to a separate finance company
  • Buyout amounts disproportionate to the equipment

Complaints We Hear Most Often

  • Confusing contract terms not clearly explained at signing
  • Billing continuing after equipment was returned or removed
  • Buyout figures that do not match what was discussed at the door
  • Difficulty cancelling
  • Lien on title discovered at refinance or sale

Which 2018 Amendments Are Likely to Apply

The 2018 amendments to Ontario's Consumer Protection Act identify several practices that can render an HVAC agreement unenforceable. The grounds we see most often in Iceberg Home Services cases are:

1

Unconscionable Pricing

Iceberg agreements often run several times the equipment's installed value.

2

Unsolicited Contact

Where the original sale was at the door, the agreement may be unenforceable under the amended Act.

4

Unfulfilled Maintenance

Maintenance commitments not delivered are an independent ground.

Only one of these grounds needs to apply for the agreement to be challenged successfully.
