Ruud Heating, Cooling & Water Heating: A Legacy of Innovation and Quality

More than a century ago, Edwin Ruud, a pioneering Norwegian mechanical engineer, revolutionized the way we experience hot water.

Marty P.

Huge thank you to Shane, Keith, Rahul, and Thaer of JDK Heating and cooling for helping out my Mother-in-law Barb on New Year’s Eve with no heat. Could not have asked for more professional and quick acting company and crew to replace her old furnace with New RUUD furnace over the holidays. Top Notch Service!

Jordan B.

Thanks JDK for our furnace repair. Our furnace went out Saturday morning on the coldest day of the year. We tried a few different companies in Edmonton. JDK was the only one to answer and gave an approximate time they would be. They kept us updated with arrival times and were on time. Very professional and honest up front what the repairs would cost. They were able to repair our furnace quickly and get the heat back on in the low -30s weather which was very much appreciated!

With the great service we will be using JDK for our hvac upgrades in the near future.
