He came did estimate then asked us to call the rental company to cancel the service, then he requested deposit, we did transfer, then he disappeared, no answering any calls.
We asked him to return the deposit, he said will transfer within 1 month.
Never deal with this company or this man.

Mahmoud Asks for money upfront to purchase the equipment. He will offer assurances to get you to trust him. He will be "in the parking lot of the supplier" waiting for your money.
Mahmoud will cancel your first appointment as he got busy. The second date will be canceled due to an Emergency. For me, his son was not breathing and had to be taken to the Hospital. Be assured, he does not have a son.
When you ask for an refund, he buys time, because he knows that you are a trusting person and want your money back, so will give the 30 minutes, the 3 hours, etc he asks for.
I gave him Until Tonight when he gets home from the hospital.
I gave him 30 minutes when he was leaving the Hospital.
I gave him 20 hours, because he has not left the hospital
I gave him until he got home to do it because his business account is no on his phone.
I gave him until 9 pm when his wife gets home from work to do it as he has not been home in 2 days (still at the hospital with his son, who is dying).
I called, once he was doing it "Right Now, and will call me in 5 minutes"
Mahmoud rents a place, and was told to not use the address for his Business. Mahmoud uses other houses on the same street on his invoices.
Mahmoud says he does not have the money. With all of us that gave him money, he has it. He tried to tell me that he returned the furnace and they wrote him a check, instead of refunding the money the same method it was purchased, which every company does.
There are a couple people that have filed with the Fraud department, and more that will be adding to the case.
Please contact your law enforcement with the details you have.
Description
If All Star Heating Cooling OR Canadians Heating Cooling is offering you a great rate for anything, Sure they will ask you for some advance. And once you pay 'some advance', you will realize your money is gone.
This guy 'Mahmood' will swear by the name of God, will give you copy of his Drivers License (so that you think you can catch him...) and convince you to take your money, and then all personal tragedies will start to happen (like sickness, supplier off, death in family, van broken, got injured, partner not available, funeral, too far from work....).

Scammer: Paid him (Mahmoud El Shorafa) a deposit over $1000 to install a new water tank and 4 months ago. Took the money and never came back. He still answers the phone calls just to offer you excuses (got sick, split the business, supplier didn't deliver the tank, etc). He seams to never run out of them !
A quick check on Better Business Bureau will give you the same image about his business
Now he runs under a new business : All Star Heating & Cooling Services
Looking into taking him to court soon
Stay away !
I want to add my voice to the others who posted here. Mr. Elsharafah cheated me, as well. I have been pursuing him in small claims court for over two years for money he agrees he owes me but has never had the time to pay back. Beware: he will cheat you.
If he asks for a deposit, you'd be best to get some kind of address, ID, and account information, so that you can track him down if he does not pay you back.
I am updating my review to say that, although he continues to promise to pay me back, he has not done so. He keeps changing addresses and phone numbers, so he is hard to track down, and I am trying to serve him for the contempt hearing that now awaits him.
I am happy to give for free whatever information I can (and that I am allowed to by law) to help others who have been cheated by Mr. Elsharafah. If you have information that can help me, in turn, I would be grateful.

Mahmood Sharafah installed water heater. Not working properly. He said the model was defective and wanted $1550 to order new one. Advised that he would get the $ back from the warranty, once he returned the defective one. Sent him the money. Never heard from him again. Found out later that water heater was not installed within code. Doesn't return calls or texts.
Mahmoud El Shorafa of Canadians Heating and cooling inc, I contacted him after seeing his ad on kijiji, he claims he is certified but had no card when he came to our house. We need our fire place to be repaired, he told us that he would need to order parts for it. He asked upfront for a $290 to order the parts, we emailed transferred him the money. After we realized the fireplace didn’t need to be fixed. We contacted him to return the money, he kept saying he will send back the money. He never emailed transferred me back my 290. He is a scammer and I doubt he is even certified.
As the above review states, the same thing happened with us. He replaced our furnace but after having problems with it he requested another $1200 to order a new one. He ended up fixing our furnace but has never returned our $1200 since November 11, 2018.
