Quick answer: rent, lease-to-own or buy?

Renting means monthly payments to the rental company, and the furnace stays theirs unless you buy it out. Lease-to-own also means monthly payments, but the furnace becomes yours once the term ends and the final buyout amount is paid. Buying with cash means you own it from day one. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay and how you want to handle the upfront cost.

Megacity does not rent. Lease-to-own is offered through Enbridge Sustain on approved credit for residential customers.

Side by side

Renting, lease-to-own and buying a furnace

Rental agreements differ from one provider to the next, so the rental column tells you what to look for and not what any one company charges. The lease-to-own column reflects the Enbridge Sustain program.

Before you sign anything

Seven questions to ask any provider

These work for a rental, a lease or a loan, from us or from anyone else. Get the answers in writing, and ask for the total you will pay over the whole term next to the price of buying the furnace.

  1. What is the monthly amount, and does it go up over time?
  2. How long is the term, and what happens at the end?
  3. What is the total I will pay over the whole term, and what would it cost to buy the furnace instead?
  4. What is the buyout price today, and how does it change each year?
  5. What is covered: parts, labour, maintenance, after-hours calls?
  6. What does early cancellation or removal cost?
  7. What happens if I sell the house?

Common questions

Furnace rental in Toronto: FAQ

Does Megacity rent furnaces?

No. Megacity installs furnaces and sells them outright, and we offer $0-down lease-to-own through Enbridge Sustain. If a rental is what you want, we would rather tell you that up front than talk you into something else.

Is lease-to-own the same as renting a furnace?

No. With a rental you keep making payments and the rental company keeps owning the furnace unless you buy it out. With a lease-to-own agreement, the furnace becomes yours once the term ends and the final buyout amount is paid.

How long is a lease-to-own term?

The Enbridge Sustain program lists a 15-year (180-month) term. Programs change, so ask us for the current schedule and the buyout table before you decide.

What does the monthly payment cover?

Under the Sustain program Enbridge Sustain says maintenance, repairs and warranties are included for the term. Ask for the written terms so you can see exactly what is and is not covered.

Can I buy the furnace out early?

Yes. Enbridge Sustain publishes a buyout schedule. Ask us for the current schedule, because the price depends on when in the term you buy out.

What happens to the agreement if I sell my home?

The Sustain agreement can transfer to the new owner. Ask us how a transfer works for your agreement before you list the house.

Are rebates available?

In-house rebates are available. Ask at your quote. We don't file government rebate paperwork for customers.
