Install or replace heating systems- 29 Apr 2026
I had Eco Star install a new 90,000 BTU Lennox furnace today, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. They showed up right on time, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy when they were done. What really stood out to me was how honest and transparent they were throughout the process—everything they quoted and explained upfront was exactly what they delivered. No surprises, no upselling—just straightforward, professional service. The team was also very friendly and easy to deal with, which made the whole experience even better. On top of that, the value for the work done was outstanding. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional HVAC company that does exactly what they say they will, I would highly recommend Eco Star.

Jamison Furnace Ltd
Rating: 5 out of 5
You've changed, HomeStars, you're no longer the website we fell in love with 11 years ago, and it's time for us to part. Homeowners-HomeStars changed it's model in late January from being a mutually beneficial website for homeowners and contractors, which it's been since at least 2014 when we joined, into a "lead buying" website who's model no longer serves the best interests of homeowners or ethical contractors, in our opinion, and we've cancelled our subscription as a result. I presume we'll continue to show up on here until their 60 day cancellation policy clocks out (which is a bitter pill to swallow in and of itself, as any of their subscribers who signed up before 2025 signed up for a completely different service than has been recently forced on us, but are apparently still bound to said 60 day cancellation polity), but our days here are numbered (literally; 59 more to go). If you're looking for a Calgary HVAC contractor that's won HomeStars' Best of the Year award 10 times in the past 11 years (dang 2017!), please don't try to connect with us via HomeStars or they'll charge us for letting you do so (same with the rest of the contractors on HomeStars), rather please Google Jamison Furnace LTD and you'll find our contact information right away.

Thank you Curt and Susan. Everytime I have issues with my furnace or air conditioner, I call Jamison Furnace. Curt is honest and provides options and lets me know how I can save money with the repairs. This time he repaired my furnace. Last time he was at my house to look at my air conditioner and since he was here I had him look at the furnace to see if everything looked okay and he told me the igniter may go out in 6months and it went out in 8 months. Jamison is always my 1st choice because they are honest and wonderful to work with. Thank you Curt and Susan. I always recommend you guys. Best Service!

Install or replace heating systems- 16 Jan 2026
My job was described as complicated 😊 As a 1940s Scarborough bungalow, it certainly has its challenges. But Eugene and the team took the time to make assessments of potential issues and delivered a very successful Furnace and Water heater replacement for me. AC was done as well, which we will test in the spring. The installation day was long, but they achieved it without having to consider an additional day for completion - that worked very well for me. The team was very professional, took care of my installation, knowledgeable and polite and were respectful of my property on a day when the weather decided to quickly change for the worse. This entire exercise was based on a very acceptable quote. All elements of documentation and process were well defined, executed quickly and managed by Marina. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the AC Furnace GTA Corp team to anyone looking for a high quality implementation at a fair price that’s done right the first time.

What Services Do Furnace Installation Pros Near Me Offer?

Installation is only one service that a furnace specialist can offer. They provide services for your furnace all throughout its lifecycle.

Here are some of the most common ones:

Furnace installation: Installation of new units.
Furnace replacement: Replacement once repairs are no longer sufficient or to upgrade to a more powerful or energy-efficient system, for example.
Furnace repair services: Changing of filters, general maintenance, and repairing panel or heating issues, including emergency services.

Skip the scrolling and cold-calling. Post your project on HomeStars now and get matched with furnace installation pros stress-free!

How Much Does Furnace Installation and Replacement Near Me Cost?

Most furnace work is quoted as a flat-rate project rather than hourly. For repairs and service calls, expect an hourly rate of $75–$150, or $140–$210 for emergency/after-hours work, plus a minimum call-out fee of $100–$200.

Here are some typical costs for common furnace services:

Furnace installation costs: $3,000–$9,500+, including the unit and labour; higher end for first-time installs, high-efficiency models, or complex setups
Furnace replacement costs: $4,000–$6,750 on average, including removal of the old unit
Furnace repair services: $80–$2,400+ depending on the part and complexity
Furnace maintenance costs: $70–$250 for a one-time tune-up; $150–$500/year for an ongoing plan

HomeStars tip: Make sure to get everything written down in an itemized quote. This avoids misunderstandings and supports transparency and clear communication for both you and the contractor.

Why You Must Hire a Pro for Furnace Installation?

Since they run on gas, furnace installation and replacement have legal requirements and involve safety risks. For several reasons, including safety and compliance, furnace work should only be handled by a certified professional.

Safety and gas lines: Furnace installation involves gas connections and venting, where mistakes can lead to serious accidents.
Permits and code compliance: Most municipalities require a permit and inspection for furnace work; pros know local building codes and can pull permits on your behalf.
Warranty protection: Many furnace manufacturers void the warranty if the unit isn't installed by a licensed HVAC technician.
Rebates: Government and utility rebates often require professional installation documentation to qualify.

Hiring a pro to help you with your furnace project protects you from risk and supports compliance, all while saving you time and avoiding stress. Post your project on HomeStars now to find the help you need.

What to Ask Before You Hire a Furnace Installation Pro Near You

When choosing a local furnace installation pro, asking the right questions can help you make an informed decision before hiring.

Here are five questions worth asking any furnace pro before you commit:

Do you carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage?

This protects you if something goes wrong during the job or a worker is injured on your property. Don’t hesitate to ask for proof.

Will you handle permits?

Furnace work generally requires a permit since it involves gas lines. Some contractors include this as part of the job, while others don't.

Confirm upfront who handles permits and, if the contractor handles it, whether it’s included in the quote or a separate charge.

Can you recommend a model?

A good furnace installation pro can match a unit to your home's size, existing infrastructure, and budget, rather than simply selling you whatever they have in stock.

How should I prepare before you arrive?

Ask what's expected of you ahead of time, whether that's clearing the work area, securing pets, or shutting off utilities.

Do you offer a written warranty, and what does it cover?

Make sure you understand the difference between the manufacturer's equipment warranty and the contractor's labour warranty, and how long each one lasts.

FAQs:Questions on Furnace Installation and Replacement Answered

How do I find a professional who can do furnace installation near me?

Start by reading verified reviews from homeowners in your area. HomeStars makes it easy to compare furnace installers near you, see their past work, and read ratings from real customers.

How does a furnace compare to other heating systems?

Furnaces are a popular choice for their ability to quickly provide consistent warmth, their high degree of compatibility with central air conditioning systems, and their cost-efficiency. Other systems, such as boilers or heat pumps, have a higher upfront cost, are generally more energy-efficient and provide more evenly distributed warmth.

What's the difference between a single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed furnace?

Single-stage furnaces run at full blast or not at all, while two-stage models can operate at a lower setting for milder days, improving efficiency and comfort. Variable-speed furnaces offer the most precise control, adjusting output continuously to maintain a consistent temperature. They cost more upfront but tend to deliver lower energy bills and quieter operation over time.

How long does a furnace installation take?

Most furnace installations take four to eight hours, though more complex jobs involving ductwork modifications or first-time installs can take longer. Your contractor should give you a realistic timeframe when they provide the quote.

How do I know when to repair vs. replace my furnace?

A common rule of thumb is that if the repair cost exceeds 50% of what a new unit would cost, replacement is usually the better investment. Age is also a factor; most furnaces have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, so an older unit with recurring issues is often worth replacing rather than patching.

How often should a furnace be serviced?

Most manufacturers and HVAC professionals recommend an annual tune-up, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they become costly repairs and keeps the unit running efficiently throughout the winter. HomeStars can help you find furnace pros who can perform regular maintenance on your unit.
