Heating System Installation Etobicoke: New Furnace, Worry-Free Winters

A couple in Markland Wood called us three years ago about their 22-year-old furnace. It still worked, but their gas bills had crept up to $350 a month. They were worried it would die in the middle of winter. We installed a new high-efficiency furnace in one day. Their first winter heating bill dropped to $180. They wished they had upgraded sooner.

Heating system installation isn't just about replacing broken equipment. Sometimes it's about saving money, increasing comfort, or getting ahead of an inevitable breakdown. When you need a new furnace in Etobicoke, you want someone who does the job right the first time. That's what we do.

When You Need a New Heating System

Furnaces last 15-20 years with good maintenance. After that, repairs become more frequent and parts get harder to find. If your system is approaching 15 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense.

Other signs you need a new heating system include rooms that never get warm, yellow pilot light flames indicating incomplete combustion, frequent cycling on and off, strange noises like banging or screeching, and rising energy bills despite similar usage patterns.

Older furnaces also lack modern safety features. New systems have better heat exchangers, improved combustion efficiency, and smart diagnostics that alert you to problems before they become dangerous. If you have an old furnace, upgrading protects your family and your wallet.

How Heating System Installation Works

We start with a free home assessment. Our technician measures your home, checks existing ductwork, reviews insulation, and calculates your actual heating needs. Proper sizing matters. Oversized furnaces cycle too often and wear out faster. Undersized units run constantly and never keep up.

Once we know the right size, we recommend equipment options at different price points. Basic single-stage furnaces cost less upfront. Two-stage and modulating furnaces cost more but run more efficiently and quietly. We explain the differences so you can choose what fits your budget and comfort priorities.

Installation day typically takes 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement. We arrive in the morning, disconnect and remove your old furnace, modify ductwork if needed, install the new system, connect gas and electrical lines, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely.

You get a full walkthrough of your new system. We show you how to change filters, adjust thermostat settings, and what sounds are normal. We register your warranty, provide all documentation, and schedule a follow-up check after your first month of operation.

Choosing the Right Furnace for Etobicoke Winters

Etobicoke winters are cold. You need a furnace that handles sustained sub-zero temperatures without struggling. We install high-efficiency models rated for Canadian winters, not cheaper American units designed for milder climates.

Gas furnaces are most common in Etobicoke because natural gas is reliable and affordable. We install Lennox, Carrier, Trane, and Goodman furnaces depending on your budget and preferences. All are quality brands with good warranty coverage and available parts.

Efficiency ratings matter for long-term savings. A 95% AFUE furnace converts 95% of fuel into heat. Older furnaces often run at 60-70% efficiency. The difference shows up in your monthly gas bills. Higher efficiency costs more upfront but pays back through lower operating costs.

We also consider your home's specific needs. Older homes in neighborhoods like Kingsway and Islington Village might need ductwork upgrades. Homes with additions or finished basements might benefit from zoned heating. We identify these factors during our assessment and include them in our recommendations.
