Furnace systems we install
Durham Region winters are serious. A furnace that’s properly sized and correctly installed is the difference between reliable heat and a system that struggles and costs more to run.
The right system depends on your home. Here’s what we install:
Repair or replace — how to decide
The honest answer depends on three things: age of the system, cost of the repair, and how efficiently it’s running. We’ll give you a straight answer either way.
If the repair costs more than 50% of a new system, and the furnace is over 10 years old, replacement is almost always the smarter long-term investment. A new high-efficiency furnace costs significantly less to run than an aging 80% AFUE unit.
Signs your furnace needs a service call
Not heating to temperature
If the furnace runs but the house never reaches the thermostat setting, there's likely a heat exchanger, gas valve, or airflow issue.
Short cycling
Turning on and off every few minutes is a sign of overheating, a dirty filter, or a faulty limit switch — all diagnosable and usually fixable.
Unusual noises
Banging on startup, rattling during operation, or squealing from the blower motor are all signs something needs attention before it fails completely.
Yellow or flickering pilot light
Should be a steady blue flame. Yellow or orange can indicate incomplete combustion and potentially a carbon monoxide issue — call us promptly.
Sudden increase in gas bill
A furnace that's working harder than it should — due to a dirty heat exchanger, restricted airflow, or worn components — will show up on your utility bill before it fails.
System over 15 years old
Even if it's still running, an aging furnace is worth having assessed. Heat exchangers can develop cracks that aren't visible without inspection — a safety issue, not just an efficiency one.

We assess your home, existing equipment, and heating needs. For repairs, we diagnose the problem first and give you a clear quote before any work begins. No surprises.
Honest recommendation
We’ll tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation, not the answer that’s most profitable for us. If your furnace has years of life left, we’ll fix it.
Installation or repair
Clean, careful work. Most furnace replacements are completed in a single day. Repairs are typically same-day or next-day depending on parts availability.
Testing & commissioning
We run the system through a full heating cycle, verify all safety controls are operating correctly, and check for any gas or carbon monoxide issues before we leave.
Walkthrough & ongoing support
A note from Zack
Furnaces are where people feel the most vulnerable — it’s January, the heat’s gone out, and you need someone you can trust to show up and give you a straight answer. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that the worst thing I can do in that situation is oversell someone a new system they don’t need, or underquote a job and hit them with surprises at the end.
Durham Region homes are all different — older Oshawa and Whitby houses with baseboard layouts that make ductwork complicated, newer Bowmanville and Courtice builds that are straightforward replacements, rural properties up past Port Perry with propane systems or older oil furnaces being converted. I’ve worked in all of them.
If your furnace is giving you trouble or you’re thinking about replacing it before next winter, call me directly. I’d rather have an honest conversation now than have you dealing with an emergency in February.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does furnace installation cost in Durham Region?
A: Typical installed costs range from $4,000–$8,000 for a high-efficiency unit, depending on your home’s size and whether new venting is required. A hybrid furnace and heat pump system runs $7,500–$18,000, with the heat pump portion eligible for Ontario’s HRS rebate of up to $7,500. The most accurate number comes from a free in-home quote — we need to see your existing setup to price it properly.
Q: How long does furnace installation take?
A: Most furnace replacements are completed in a single day. If new venting is required for a high-efficiency system, or if there are ductwork modifications needed, it may run into a second day — we’ll tell you upfront in the quote.
Q: My furnace stopped working — how quickly can you come out?
A: We prioritize no-heat calls, especially in winter. Call us at (705) 344-3124 and we’ll get a technician out as quickly as possible. For urgent situations, calling is faster than the quote form.
Q: Do you repair furnaces, or only install new ones?
A: Both. We repair all major brands across Durham Region — not just systems we’ve installed. Common repairs include ignitor replacement, heat exchanger inspection, blower motor repair, gas valve issues, and control board failures. We diagnose first and give you a clear repair cost before any work begins.
Q: What areas do you serve for furnace installation and repair?
A: We install and repair furnaces throughout Durham Region including Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Bowmanville, Clarington, Port Perry, and Courtice. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call.
Q: How often should a furnace be serviced?
A: Once a year, ideally in autumn before heating season begins. An annual tune-up covers burner cleaning, heat exchanger inspection, flue check, blower cleaning, and a full safety check. Regular maintenance catches problems early — a service call is significantly cheaper than an emergency repair or premature replacement.
