Furnace Repair Service in Windsor Ontario

Yes — we keep slots open in the daily schedule specifically for no-heat calls, because a cold house in a Windsor winter is not something that can wait until next week. Beyond the discomfort, an unheated house risks frozen and burst water pipes within roughly 24 hours once indoor temperatures drop near freezing. Call (226) 213-4886 and we will tell you honestly how fast we can get someone to you.

Most single-component furnace repairs in Ontario land between $200 and $600, with a diagnostic fee of roughly $80 to $150 that is typically credited toward the repair if you go ahead. Common fixes sit at the lower end — a flame sensor clean or igniter swap — while blower motors, gas valves and control boards run higher. After-hours emergency calls carry a premium. We quote you the parts and labour before any work begins, so you are never guessing at the final number.

Repair usually makes sense if the furnace is under 15 years old and the fix costs less than about a third of a new system. Replacement becomes the better call when the unit is 15 to 20 years old, the heat exchanger is cracked, or repair costs are stacking up year after year — a cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk and is not repairable, so that one is always a replacement. A new high-efficiency furnace in Ontario typically runs $3,000 to $8,500 installed depending on size and model, and rebates may apply. We will give you the straight assessment either way.

Once a year, ideally in early autumn before Windsor's heating season starts. Annual furnace service catches the small things — a dirty flame sensor, a weak igniter, a partially blocked condensate line — before they become a no-heat emergency in February. Most manufacturers also require documented annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid, so skipping it can cost you twice.

The common ones are short-cycling (turning on and off every few minutes), blowing cool air, banging or booming on ignition, a burning or metallic smell, rising gas bills with no change in usage, and a yellow rather than blue burner flame. A yellow flame and any soot around the furnace are urgent — they suggest incomplete combustion, which produces carbon monoxide. Ontario's Fire Code requires a working CO alarm near sleeping areas in any home with a fuel-burning appliance, and if yours sounds, leave the house and call for help before doing anything else.

Yes. In Ontario, work on gas-fired appliances must be carried out by a technician certified by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) — a G2-certified technician can work independently on residential furnaces up to 400,000 BTU/h. Hiring an uncertified handyman for gas work is both unsafe and grounds for your home insurance to deny a claim. Always ask any Windsor furnace company for their gas technician certification before they touch the unit.

We are local, we answer the phone, and we tell you what is actually wrong instead of upselling a system you do not need. Pricing is explained before the work starts, gas technicians are certified and insured, and every call includes a venting and carbon monoxide check as standard rather than as an add-on. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals across Windsor-Essex, which is the honest measure of whether a furnace repair company is worth calling.
