Dr HVAC > Furnaces and Heating

Fast, Friendly Service in Toronto

Our Toronto office is located minutes from Riverdale, Leslieville, the Danforth, Leaside and the Beaches. Most calls get a licensed technician to your door in four hours or less.

Toronto’s older housing means mixed systems. Forced-air furnaces, combi boilers, and conversions between the two, often in a basement with no room to work. We are in those houses every week.

Best of all, we provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee on our work. We promise the work will be done correctly, or we will fix it for free.

Recently I had a technician from Dr HVAC help me with a furnace problem. The technician took the time to explain to me what was going on, and to suggest my next course of action in dealing with the situation. I am grateful that he worked hard to help me understand.

Darrell’s furnace never seemed to shut off
His Etobicoke home was warm enough, but the system ran almost constantly. Here is what we found in the basement, and what changed after the new furnace went in.

My visit with Bryan Malloch from Dr HVAC, was an extremely positive, intuitive and delightful experience. Bryan arrived on time, introduced himself to me, had indoor booties ready to slip on over his shoes, and was ready to find a solution to my problem. Not only did he solve the issue, he was attentive to all the other mechanical appliances around him. He offered solid advice to prevent future problems and he was extremely clean, he did not leave any mess! I was absolutely delighted with Bryan and the service and will use Dr HVAC again in the future! 10/10

Noah from Dr HVAC did an excellent job servicing my AC unit yesterday. He was professional, thorough, and clearly knowledgeable. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond—taking the time to walk me through maintenance tips not just for the AC, but also for my heater and water heater. I really appreciated the extra care and advice. Highly recommend!

Thank you Dr HVAC for the speedy response and sending out a Service Technician so promptly when our hot water tank stopped working. Contact with office was smooth, both texts and emails were sent to confirm appointment. Received updates letting me know when Technician was on the way and was on time! Our Tech Lyndon quickly diagnosed issue, gave us options and went to work to fix the problem. Great communicator, friendly and happy to answer all questions along the way. We will definitely call Dr HVAC again when in need and request Lyndon for future calls. Thanks again for the amazing service!

Dr HVAC merits the 5 stars. It was my first time having them come, and I was quite impressed. Jamie was excellent both in communicating in great detail the various options and prices on fixing or replacing an old tankless water heater. She was so helpful and professional, and her work was meticulous. My first phone call to the company was very easy and friendly. I plan to use the company for recurring maintenance and future projects. Thank you.

Sherman recently fixed our HVAC system and did an impressive job. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to replace a broken part and get the system back up and running quickly. He was polite, respectful and thoroughly cleaned up his work space.

After the installation, he carefully checked the radiators throughout the house to ensure each one was working as expected. This process led to a few adjustments in the boiler room, but he handled everything like the seasoned professional he is.

Sherman provided white glove service and I would definitely give him a five star rating! I would be very happy to work with Sherman again!

Our heater broke down during the coldest week of the year, and we had to replace it quickly. This company was fantastic from start to finish.

Gary, Chris, and Binny were thorough and professional. Adam explained everything clearly and kindly. Marcus went above and beyond – his skill and perseverance solved our pipe issues, and his kindness truly stood out.

This is a wonderful company with a team that truly cares. Highly recommend.

My boiler stopped operating earlier this month. I placed a call to Dr. HVAC late at night and given that I was without heat, they sent a technician early the next morning. Bryan checked out the boiler and advised that it would need several new components. The cost was such that it made more sense to replace the entire boiler. As the boiler was older and I had not been happy with it for some time, I accepted this diagnosis. Within an hour, Jennifer from Dr. HVAC arrived to discuss my options for a new boiler. We quickly settled on one, I was happy with the price, and early the next day Sherman and Garey arrived to install the new boiler. By that evening we had heat and hot water. Separately, Sherman also adjusted the manifold feeding radiant heat to an ensuite bathroom, providing floor warmth that we had done without for many years. Overall, my wife and I were very grateful for the prompt service and extremely pleased in our dealings with all four of the people from Dr. HVAC.

(WORST EXPERIENCE EVER) Update as of December 12, 2025:
It has been 4 months since our AC broke – not that we need it now given its mid-December. However, two repair technicians arrived today, pulled more parts off of our AC, left them on the floor, left other parts in stair wells and then left without a word to anyone! The also left the AC completely uncovered with wires sticking out everywhere. (See Photos)
This is completely unprofessional and disrespectful. Our “brand new” AC has now been broken for 4 months! We are also mind blown that they would not only leave the house and stop working without letting any of us know, but to also leave parts all over the place. We called them and their admin has no idea what is going on.
Highly recommend buying your AC from anywhere else. Worst experience we have ever had! They have continuously not respected my elderly father.

Update: Two weeks later we have still not received a call back from a manager and our AC is currently in this state, unusable (see photo).

Original Review

Our brand new $9000 air conditioner which was installed less than six months ago started pouring water through the air vents of the unit (inside our house) last week. We had a technician come in who told us multiple parts of the unit where completely burnt out.

Dr. HVAC does not want to simply replace the entire unit but rather is insisting on ordering replacement parts -a fix we understood would occur in a timely manner. One week later we still do not have a working AC; parts of our house are sweltering, and every time we call in we are told a manager will call us back yet we never receive a call back.

Currently our AC is in pieces, some of which are still sitting in our stairwell.

We also explained to them that two of the residents who live here are elderly and we need the AC fixed ASAP.

Not sure if the company is under new management but this experience has been greatly disappointing and frustrating.

Toronto’s Heating Systems

Most of the housing we work in downtown predates forced air. The semis and rowhouses in Riverdale, Leslieville and the Danforth were built for radiators and converted later, and the conversion is usually where the trouble starts. Ducts run through closets and boxed corners with almost no return air, so the furnace can be working perfectly while the second floor never warms up.

The other pattern we see constantly is a furnace sized for a leakier house. Windows and insulation got upgraded over the years, the furnace did not. Now it is oversized, so it fires, satisfies the thermostat in a few minutes, and shuts off again all night long.

And a lot of these houses run heat and hot water off one combi unit, which means when it fails you lose both at once. That is why our trucks carry boilers and not just furnace parts.

The calls we get most often:

  • No heat at all
  • Blowing cold air
  • Keeps shutting off, or short cycling
  • Will not ignite, or the pilot will not stay lit
  • Banging, scraping or screeching
  • Leaking water around the unit
  • Weak airflow, or the blower runs constantly
  • Some rooms cold while others are fine
  • Gas bill up with no change in use

We repair every make and model.

Repair or ReplaceWhen should you repair or replace your furnace?

Most furnaces that get replaced could have been repaired. The only way to know which one you have is to open it up and test it.

We show you what we found and give you both numbers. It is your home, so the call is yours.

Age First

Under 10 years, repair almost always wins. Over 18, replacement usually does.

The cost test

If the repair approaches half the price of a new unit, put the money into the new one.

Stop signs

A cracked heat exchanger is not repairable. That unit gets replaced.

Running cost

An old mid-efficiency furnace can cost more per winter than the repair saved.
