Furnace and Heating Repair Company in Ottawa, ON

How long should my furnace last?

The average life of a furnace ranges from 18 to 22 years. Some will last longer, but those that do have usually been maintained on a yearly basis. A lot also depends on the quality of your furnace, before you buy let us help you navigate all the different options to ensure you get a great quality furnace. Payne, Keeprite and Comfortmaker are all good models, they are also owned by ICP which is owned by Carrier.

When you are spending $3,000+ on your furnace we highly recommend you obtain 3 quotes before you select the company to install your furnace. Pay attention to warranty, type of furnace, who will be installing, and again make sure they are insured and have a valid TSSA license.

Free quotation available, we also offer a referral program. If you are looking for a great price and outstanding customer service give us a call. We are big enough to get the job done but small enough to care.
