Heating
No heat on a cold night? Our licensed technicians diagnose and repair most furnaces the same day, safely and with upfront pricing.
A furnace that fails in a Toronto January is not an inconvenience, it is a burst-pipe risk. NorthPoint provides fast furnace repair across Toronto and the GTA, including after-hours emergency service, on every major brand of gas, electric, and high-efficiency condensing furnace.
The failures we see most are consistent: a dirty flame sensor shutting the burner down seconds after ignition, a failed igniter, a pressure switch tripping because the condensate trap or vent is blocked, an inducer or blower motor on its way out, a clogged filter causing the limit switch to trip on high temperature, or a control board fault. Our technicians read the diagnostic codes, then verify with actual measurements rather than swapping parts and hoping.
Safety comes first on every gas appliance call. We inspect the heat exchanger for cracking, verify combustion and vent draft, and test carbon monoxide levels. If we find a genuinely unsafe condition we will tell you immediately and explain exactly what we found and why — that is not an upsell, it is the reason you call a licensed contractor.
You approve a written price before any repair begins, and we carry the common failure parts on the truck so most Toronto furnace repairs are finished on the first visit.

Every call includes a heat exchanger inspection, combustion and vent draft verification, and a carbon monoxide test. If we find a genuinely unsafe condition we will tell you immediately and show you what we found. That is not an upsell — it is the reason you call a licensed contractor rather than a handyman.
Under fifteen years with a contained repair, fix it. Past twenty, or facing a cracked heat exchanger or a failed control board on a mid-efficiency unit, replacement is usually the better spend — a modern condensing furnace runs 95–98% against the 60–80% of what you likely have. We quote both.
Our trucks carry the parts that actually fail: igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, capacitors, thermostats, and common motors and boards. That is why the majority of Toronto furnace repairs finish on the first visit instead of waiting on a parts order in January.
“We switched from another plumbing and HVAC service to NorthPoint and we couldn’t be more happy. Their prices are more affordable, their people more knowledgeable, and they get to you fast — especially important when your AC blows out in the middle of summer!”
— B. Parker
“The techs are prompt, friendly and trustworthy. They are knowledgeable and professional, and they explain what they are doing instead of just handing you a bill. I highly recommend them.”
— Barbara K.
“Showed up the same afternoon and explained everything he was doing. Very thorough, polite and professional — and cleaned up the whole area afterward.”
— Aimee B.
Don't wait for a total failure. Call for repair if you notice:
We diagnose and repair every part of a gas or electric furnace:
From high-efficiency condensing furnaces in newer Vaughan and Markham builds to older mid-efficiency units in Toronto's established neighbourhoods, we repair every type of furnace — and we know how hard GTA winters push them.
In most cases yes. We prioritize no-heat calls during cold weather across Toronto and the GTA.
Common causes include a failed igniter or flame sensor, a thermostat issue, or a safety lockout. We diagnose the exact cause.
No-heat and any suspected gas or carbon-monoxide issue should be handled immediately for safety. Other issues still get worse if ignored.
If your furnace is 15+ years old or the heat exchanger is cracked, replacement is usually safer and more economical. We advise honestly.
Yes — all major gas and electric furnace brands, regardless of installer.
