Fast, Reliable Furnace Service From Your Neighbours
A broken furnace in an East York winter is not something that can wait. That's why Megacity HVAC provides 24/7 emergency furnace repair from our location at 885 O'Connor Dr — right in the heart of East York. When you call us, a TSSA-certified technician can be at your door in 30 to 60 minutes, because we're already here.
We've been repairing and installing furnaces in East York since 1999. Over 27 years, we've worked on every type of furnace in every type of East York home — from the original cast iron radiator conversions in pre-war houses to modern high-efficiency gas furnaces in renovated semis. We carry common parts on our trucks so most repairs are completed same-day, on the first visit.
East York's housing stock presents specific furnace challenges. Many homes here were built in the 1940s and 1950s with furnaces that have been replaced once or twice but still sit in tight basement spaces with older ductwork. We know how to work in these spaces. We know which units fit and which don't. We size every installation to the actual heat load of your home — not just the size of the old unit.
For new installations, we're an Authorized Lennox Dealer and also install Carrier, Trane, Ducane, and Rheem. Every furnace we install meets or exceeds 96% AFUE efficiency, which means at least 96 cents of every gas dollar goes directly to heating your home. As an Enbridge Sustain Trusted Partner, we process all rebate paperwork so you get every dollar you're owed — up to $1,000 back on a qualifying furnace.

Common Furnace Problems in East York Homes
We see these issues regularly in East York. Our technicians carry parts for the most common repairs and can usually fix the problem on the first visit.
Furnace Not Starting
Could be a faulty ignitor, flame sensor issue, thermostat problem, or tripped safety switch. Common in older East York homes where original components have worn out.
Blowing Cold Air
Dirty air filter, pilot light issues, malfunctioning gas valve, or a cracked heat exchanger. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety concern that requires immediate attention.
Short Cycling
The furnace turns on and off frequently. Usually caused by an oversized unit, dirty filter, thermostat problems, or overheating. Common when a furnace was improperly sized for the home.
Strange Noises
Banging, squealing, or rattling sounds often indicate loose components, a failing blower motor, or ductwork expansion. Older East York ductwork can amplify these issues.
Yellow Flame
A yellow or orange flame instead of blue can indicate incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide production. This is a safety emergency — call immediately.
Rising Energy Bills
If your gas bills are climbing despite normal usage, your furnace is losing efficiency. Older East York furnaces running at 60 to 70% AFUE waste significant energy compared to modern 96%+ units.

We don't push new furnaces when a repair will do. And we won't keep patching a furnace that's costing you more in repairs and gas bills than a new one would.

How much does emergency furnace repair cost in East York?
Emergency furnace repair typically ranges from $150 to $500 depending on the issue. Common repairs like a faulty ignitor or flame sensor run $150 to $300. More involved repairs such as a blower motor or control board replacement run $300 to $500. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work — no surprises. Our diagnostic fee is applied to the repair cost if you proceed.
How long do furnaces last in East York homes?
A well-maintained furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Many East York homes still have furnaces that are 20 to 30 years old — well past their expected lifespan. These older units run at 60 to 80% efficiency, meaning 20 to 40 cents of every dollar you spend on gas is wasted. If your furnace is over 15 years old and needs a repair costing more than $500, replacement is usually the smarter investment.
Should I repair or replace my East York furnace?
Consider replacement if your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs (more than once per season), your heating bills keep rising despite maintenance, or the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new unit's price. A new 96%+ AFUE furnace costs $3,500 to $6,500 installed and qualifies for Enbridge rebates up to $1,000. We provide honest assessments — if a repair makes sense, we'll tell you.
What Enbridge rebates are available for East York furnace installations?
As an Enbridge Sustain Trusted Partner, we help East York homeowners access rebates of up to $1,000 on qualifying high-efficiency furnaces (96% AFUE or higher). Heat pumps qualify for up to $1,500 in rebates. Smart thermostats are eligible for up to $75. We handle all the rebate paperwork on your behalf — you just enjoy the savings.
