Furnace Repair & Installation in Etobicoke
Your furnace breaks down on the coldest night of the year. You need a team that picks up the phone and dispatches a technician — not a voicemail. Megacity HVAC has been providing 24/7 furnace repair across Etobicoke for 27 years.
Fast, Reliable Furnace Service for Etobicoke Homes
An Etobicoke winter without a working furnace is dangerous. Temperatures regularly drop below minus 15 degrees Celsius, and the wind coming off Lake Ontario through neighbourhoods like Mimico, Long Branch, and New Toronto makes it feel even colder. When your furnace fails, you need a technician who can be at your door quickly with the right parts to get your heat back on. That is exactly what Megacity HVAC delivers — 24/7, every day of the year.
Etobicoke's housing stock spans several decades and styles. The Kingsway and Princess Anne Manor feature larger homes from the 1930s through 1960s, many with original or twice-replaced furnaces sitting in deep basements. Islington and Eatonville have a mix of post-war bungalows and 1970s side-splits where space around the furnace is often tight. Rexdale and the newer developments along Highway 27 tend to have more modern homes, but even these frequently have builder-grade furnaces that were not built to last.
Our TSSA-certified technicians have worked in every type of Etobicoke home over the past 27 years. We carry common furnace parts on every truck — ignitors, flame sensors, pressure switches, blower motors, and control boards for all major brands — so most repairs are completed on the first visit. We diagnose the problem, provide a clear upfront price, and fix it. No guesswork, no upselling.
For new furnace installations, we are an Authorized Lennox Dealer and also install Carrier, Trane, Ducane, Rheem, and Daikin. Every furnace we install meets or exceeds 96 percent AFUE efficiency, meaning at least 96 cents of every gas dollar goes directly to heating your home. We size every installation to the actual heat load of your home — not just the nameplate of the old unit — to ensure proper performance and comfort.
As an Enbridge Sustain Trusted Partner, we process all rebate paperwork so Etobicoke homeowners receive every available dollar back. Qualifying high-efficiency furnaces can earn rebates of up to $1,000, and we make sure you do not leave money on the table.

Common Furnace Problems in Etobicoke Homes
We see these issues regularly across Islington, Mimico, The Kingsway, Rexdale, and every other Etobicoke neighbourhood. Our technicians carry parts for the most common repairs.
Furnace Not Starting
Faulty ignitor, flame sensor issue, thermostat problem, or tripped safety switch. Common in older Etobicoke homes where original furnace components have reached the end of their lifespan.
Blowing Cold Air
Dirty air filter, pilot light issues, malfunctioning gas valve, or cracked heat exchanger. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk that requires immediate professional attention.
Short Cycling
Furnace turns on and off frequently without completing a full heating cycle. Usually caused by an oversized unit, clogged filter, thermostat issues, or overheating from restricted airflow.
Strange Noises
Banging, squealing, or rattling sounds from your furnace. Often indicates loose components, a failing blower motor, or expanding ductwork. Etobicoke homes with older sheet metal ducts tend to amplify these sounds.
Yellow Burner Flame
A yellow or orange flame instead of steady blue indicates incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide production. This is a safety emergency that requires immediate professional service.
Rising Gas Bills
If your Enbridge bills keep climbing despite normal usage, your furnace is losing efficiency. Many Etobicoke homes still run furnaces at 60 to 70 percent AFUE when modern units achieve 96 percent or higher.

How much does furnace repair cost in Etobicoke?
Furnace repair in Etobicoke typically costs between $150 and $500 depending on the issue. Common repairs like ignitor replacement, flame sensor cleaning, or thermocouple swap run $150 to $300. More involved work such as blower motor replacement, control board repair, or inducer motor replacement falls between $300 and $500. We diagnose the problem and provide an upfront price before starting any work.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency furnace repair in Etobicoke?
Yes. We offer around-the-clock emergency furnace repair across all Etobicoke neighbourhoods including Islington, Mimico, Long Branch, The Kingsway, Eatonville, and Rexdale. A furnace failure in an Etobicoke winter means pipes can freeze within hours. Call (416) 286-5665 at any time and we dispatch a TSSA-certified technician. No extra diagnostic fees for nights or weekends.
How long do furnaces last in Etobicoke homes?
A well-maintained furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Many Etobicoke homes built in the 1950s through 1970s have had one or two furnace replacements but may still be running units that are 18 to 25 years old. These older units often operate at 60 to 80 percent efficiency, wasting 20 to 40 cents of every gas dollar. If your furnace is over 15 years old and needs a repair costing more than $500, replacement is usually the better investment.
What Enbridge rebates are available for Etobicoke furnace installations?
As an Enbridge Sustain Trusted Partner, we help Etobicoke homeowners access rebates of up to $1,000 on qualifying high-efficiency furnaces rated 96 percent AFUE or higher. Heat pumps qualify for up to $1,500 in Enbridge rebates. Smart thermostats are eligible for up to $75. We handle all rebate paperwork on your behalf so you receive every dollar available.
Should I repair or replace my Etobicoke furnace?
Consider replacement if your furnace is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs (more than once per heating season), has a cracked heat exchanger, or if the repair cost exceeds 50 percent of a new unit price. A new 96 percent AFUE furnace costs $3,500 to $6,500 installed and can reduce your Enbridge bill by 25 to 35 percent compared to an older 60 to 70 percent efficient unit. We provide honest assessments every time.
