Furnace installation & replacement in Whitby, ON
Durham Region's owner-operator HVAC tech who shows up when he says, does the job right, and handles Durham Region furnace replacements from start to finish.
Furnace installation by someone who actually knows Whitby
Whitby's housing stock spans older homes near the downtown core and Lynde Creek all the way to large newer builds in Rolling Acres, Pringle Creek, and along Taunton Road. Each era comes with its own sizing and venting requirements — older homes often need ductwork modifications, while newer builds tend to be more straightforward replacements. Zack has been installing furnaces across Whitby for over 15 years and knows what each neighbourhood needs, including whether a permit is required and handling it if so.
Proper sizing
An oversized furnace short-cycles and wears out fast. An undersized one never keeps up. We calculate your home's actual heat load before recommending a unit.
Permits handled
A permit is required in some cases depending on the scope of work. We assess whether one is needed and handle everything if it is — you don't have to think about it.
Single-day install
Most furnace replacements are completed in a single day. Old unit removed, new unit installed, tested, and commissioned before we leave.
Transparent pricing
You get a clear quote before anything starts. No surprise line items, no upselling to a unit bigger than your home needs.
What we install
Durham Region winters are serious. The right system depends on your home's size, age, and existing venting. Here's what we carry:
High-efficiency gas furnace (95–98% AFUE)
Required for all new gas furnace installations in Canada. Significantly lower operating costs — and we confirm your venting is compatible before quoting.
Furnace + heat pump hybrid
Pairs a gas furnace with a heat pump. The heat pump handles most heating; the furnace kicks in on the coldest days. Eligible for Ontario HRS rebates.
Propane furnace
For Whitby properties not connected to natural gas. Same high-efficiency options, properly configured for propane supply and venting.
Replacement of oil or older systems
Converting from oil or an aging low-efficiency unit? We handle the full switchover including new venting, gas line connection, and disposal of the old system.
What does a new furnace cost in Whitby?
Costs vary based on efficiency rating, home size, and whether new venting is required. Typical installed ranges for Whitby homes:
High-efficiency gas furnace (95–98% AFUE): $4,000 – $8,000
Hybrid system (furnace + heat pump): $7,500 – $18,000 — heat pump portion eligible for Ontario HRS rebate 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.

Permit pulled, install scheduled
If a permit is required, we handle the application before the job starts. Most installations are booked within a few days of the quote.
Old unit removed, new unit installed
Clean, careful work. Most replacements are completed in a single day. The old unit is hauled away and disposed of responsibly.
Testing, commissioning & walkthrough
We run the system through a full heating cycle, verify all safety controls, check for gas issues, and walk you through the new unit before we leave.
What Whitby customers say
"Zack was there when he said. He did an excellent job on a rush basis — professional, clean, and most of all trustworthy. Exactly what you want when you need a new furnace fast."
A note from Zack
A furnace installation is one of the bigger purchases a homeowner makes, and I take that seriously. Showing up when I say, doing the job cleanly, and leaving you with a system you understand how to use — that's the job. I've seen other contractors cut corners on sizing or skip the permit process, and it causes problems down the road. That's not how I work.
I've installed furnaces across Whitby for over 15 years — from the older homes near Lynde Creek and the downtown core to the bigger builds in Rolling Acres and along Taunton Road. If you're thinking about replacing your furnace, call me and we'll figure out what actually makes sense for your home and budget.
