Furnaces
Forced-air heat for most homes in the GTA. We repair ignition, pressure switch and blower faults on every major make, replace furnaces that are past saving with high-efficiency units, and do the yearly tune-up that keeps the warranty valid.

Furnace repair and installation →Heat Pumps
A heat pump heats your home through most of the winter and cools it in summer, using electricity. We install ducted heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, and can keep your furnace as backup for the coldest days.

Heat pump installation and repair →Boilers
Hydronic boilers feed radiators and in-floor heat, and a combi boiler also makes your hot water from one wall-hung unit. We install, repair and service them, including the pumps, zone valves and controls around them.
Boiler and combi services →Unit Heaters
Gas unit heaters warm garages, workshops, warehouses and commercial spaces directly, with no ductwork. We size the heater, install power-vent models and handle the venting and gas connection.

Unit heater installation →Pool Heaters
A natural gas pool heater lets you swim earlier in spring and later in fall. We size it to your pool and run the gas line and venting so it reaches temperature quickly and safely.

Pool heater installation →Fireplaces
Gas fireplaces add heat and atmosphere at the push of a button. We install, service and repair them, including the gas line and venting, so the unit is safe and ready for the season.
Fireplace installation and service →Snow Melting
A heated driveway, walkway or set of steps melts snow and ice from below, with no shovelling and no salt. We design and connect hydronic systems, including the boiler, pump and controls.
Snow melting systems →Floor Heating
Radiant in-floor heating warms a room from the ground up, with no cold spots or noisy vents. We design and connect hydronic systems fed by a boiler or combi, for new builds, basements, bathrooms and renovations.

A quick comparison of the systems above. Not sure which one is right? Call us and we will recommend one for your home.
| System | Best for | How it heats |
|---|---|---|
| Furnaces | Most homes with ducts, and replacing an old furnace | Natural gas burners heat air that is blown through your ducts |
| Heat pumps and mini-splits | Homes that want heating and cooling in one system; ductless units for additions and basements | Moves heat using electricity, with ducted or ductless units |
| Boilers and combi units | Radiators, in-floor heat, and homes that want heat and hot water from one unit (combi) | Heats water that circulates through radiators or tubing |
| Unit heaters | Garages, workshops, warehouses and commercial spaces | Gas burner with a fan, no ductwork needed |
| Pool heaters | Swimming pools | Natural gas heater warms the pool water |
| Fireplaces | Extra heat and atmosphere in a living space | Gas flame, vented to code |
| In-floor heating | New builds, basements, bathrooms and renovations | Warm water from a boiler or combi flows through tubing in the floor |
| Snow melting systems | Driveways, walkways and steps | Warm glycol mix from a boiler flows through tubing under the surface |
Our heating services
Emergency no-heat repair
Emergency service is available 24/7 across the GTA. Tell us what the system is doing, or the code on its display, and we start with the most likely cause.
New system installation
Installation estimates are free. We size the system to your home, not to the old unit, and handle venting, gas connection and controls to code. Financing is available.
Annual maintenance
Yearly tune-ups for furnaces and boilers: combustion check, heat exchanger inspection and a carbon monoxide check. Most manufacturers need service on record to honour the parts warranty.
Repair or replace advice
We give you the price of repairing and the price of replacing, and let you decide. If a repair is not worth it, we say so.

Not sure which system fits?
The right choice depends on your home: ducts or radiators, how much hot water you use, whether you also want cooling, and your budget. A furnace is the simplest replacement in a ducted home. A heat pump adds cooling and cuts gas use. A boiler suits radiators and in-floor heat.
We look at your home, give you the options with prices and let you decide. Installation estimates are free and financing is available.
Heating system showing a code?
Look up the code to see what it means and what to check first.
How a visit works
Step 1
Call or book online
Tell us the equipment and what it is doing. If it shows an error code, have it ready; it often tells us which part to bring.
Step 2
Diagnosis and a clear price
A technician tests the system, shows you what failed and gives you the price. You decide before any work starts.
Step 3
Fixed, tested, cleaned up
We finish the repair or install, run the system through a full cycle and leave the area as we found it.

We install, repair and maintain furnaces, heat pumps, boilers and combi boilers, unit heaters, pool heaters and gas fireplaces, and we design and connect hydronic in-floor heating and snow melting systems. Emergency no-heat service is available 24/7.
What is the best heating system for a home in the GTA?
Most homes with ducts use a high-efficiency gas furnace. A heat pump is a good upgrade or addition when you also want cooling and lower gas use, and a boiler suits homes with radiators or in-floor heat. We compare them for your home during a free estimate.

Yes. Emergency heating service is available 24/7 across the GTA. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Enbridge Gas or 911 first, then call us.
How much does a new heating system cost?
The price depends on the type, size and efficiency of the system and on the venting, ductwork and gas work your home needs. We give you a written estimate before any work starts. Installation estimates are free and financing is available.
Are there rebates for heating upgrades?
Ontario Home Renovation Savings offers rebates on new heat pump installs, and we are a registered participating contractor. Amounts and eligibility change, so check the official program pages; our heat pump rebate guide links to them.
