Emergency HVAC Repair in Toronto, Ontario

Heating or cooling failed when you need it most? We respond fast to urgent HVAC emergencies across the GTA.

Emergency HVAC Repair in Toronto & the GTA

No heat in January or no cooling during a July heat warning is not something that waits until business hours. NorthPoint provides 24/7 emergency HVAC repair across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, with licensed technicians dispatched to homes without heat, without cooling, or with a suspected gas or carbon monoxide concern.

Call us immediately — do not wait — if you smell gas, if a CO detector sounds, if you see scorching or smell burning around the equipment, if there is no heat with temperatures below freezing, or if a vulnerable family member is in the home during a heat warning. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call from outside.

Our emergency trucks carry the parts that actually fail: igniters, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, pressure switches, thermostats, blower and inducer motors, and common control boards. That means the majority of after-hours calls in the GTA are resolved on the first visit rather than turning into a multi-day wait for parts.

You get the price before the work starts, even at 2 a.m. And if the honest answer is that your system cannot be safely repaired, we will secure the home, get temporary heat sorted where we can, and lay out replacement options the same day.

What counts as an emergency, and what happens next

Call immediately if

You smell gas, a carbon monoxide detector sounds, you see scorching or smell burning around the equipment, there is no heat with temperatures below freezing, or a vulnerable family member is in the home during a heat warning. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call from outside.

What to do while you wait

For no heat, keep interior doors open, run taps at a trickle if temperatures are well below freezing to protect pipes, and avoid unvented space heaters. For no cooling in a heat warning, close blinds on the sun side, run fans, and move to the coolest floor of the house. Do not keep resetting a breaker that keeps tripping.

First-visit resolution

Our emergency trucks carry igniters, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, pressure switches, thermostats, blower and inducer motors, and common control boards. That is why most after-hours calls across Toronto and the GTA are resolved on the first visit rather than becoming a multi-day wait for parts.

Pricing at 2 a.m.

You get the price before the work starts, at any hour. And if the honest answer is that the system cannot be safely repaired, we secure the home, arrange temporary heat where we can, and lay out replacement options the same day rather than leaving you to work it out alone.
