When any HVAC system fails, one call covers it all
A heating or cooling failure, a gas smell, or an Enbridge red tag shutdown does not wait for business hours. Our TSSA-certified team holds a two-hour response window across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area every day of the year, and the phone at 647-254-4113 is answered live, any hour. Whether your furnace stops working on a January night, your air conditioner quits during a July heat wave, or Enbridge has shut off your gas, our field crew is equipped to diagnose and repair all of it under one call.
This page covers every HVAC emergency we handle: no-heat calls in heating season, no-AC calls during summer, gas leaks and smell-of-gas situations, Enbridge red tag shutdowns, CO alarm activations, and cracked heat exchanger diagnoses. We hold overnight and weekend capacity specifically for these calls, because emergencies do not cluster between nine and five on a weekday.
Every emergency call starts the same way: you call, a live person answers, your situation is assessed, and the right technician is dispatched with the right equipment. Common parts for furnaces, air conditioners, and gas systems are stocked on every service vehicle, which is why most of our emergency calls are resolved on the first visit rather than requiring a callback for parts.
No-heat emergencies in Toronto
A furnace failure on a cold Toronto night is the call we receive most often in heating season. Indoor temperatures in an unheated home or semi-detached can drop several degrees per hour, and frozen pipes become a real risk in basements and exterior walls within a few hours at minus fifteen or colder. Our team dispatches immediately, every day of the year, with a target arrival window of two hours across the GTA.
Common no-heat failures our technicians see every season: a failed hot surface igniter, a dirty or failed flame sensor, a blocked or disconnected pressure switch hose, a tripped limit switch from a clogged filter, and a failing draft inducer motor. All of these are within standard diagnostic scope, and igniters, flame sensors, and pressure switches are stocked on every van for same-visit repairs.
If the diagnosis shows that a furnace replacement is the better call, our TSSA-certified team can provide a written quote for a high-efficiency furnace installation during the same visit. Installations carry a 2-year labour warranty alongside 5 to 10 years of manufacturer coverage.
No-AC emergencies during summer heat waves
Toronto heat waves push indoor temperatures into dangerous territory for older adults and young children, and a failed air conditioner in that context is a genuine emergency. Our team responds to no-AC calls 24/7 during the cooling season with the same two-hour target response as heating calls.
Common causes of summer AC failures include a failed run capacitor on the condenser unit, a refrigerant leak that has finally depleted the charge, a failed condenser fan motor, or a frozen evaporator coil from restricted airflow. Capacitors and common refrigerant fittings are carried on the van. Refrigerant recovery and recharge require EPA-certified technicians, and our team holds that certification.
If a central AC system or ductless mini-split has reached the end of its useful life, our team can quote an air conditioning installation or replacement on the same call, giving you written options rather than only a repair bill.
Gas emergencies and Enbridge red tag response
A gas smell, a CO alarm activation, or an Enbridge red tag shutdown falls into a different category of urgency. For gas leaks or CO alarms, the first step is always to evacuate the property and call Enbridge’s 24-hour emergency line before calling us. Once the property is declared safe, our TSSA G1/G2 certified technicians handle the diagnosis, repair, and certification required to restore service.
An Enbridge red tag, whether Type A or Type B, cannot be cleared by the homeowner or by an unlicensed contractor. Under Ontario Regulation 215/01 and the CSA B149.1 gas code, only a technician holding a TSSA G1 or G2 certificate can correct the fault and sign the clearance documentation that lets Enbridge Gas restore service. Our team carries that licence on every dispatch. Most red tags we attend are cleared with gas restored within 24 hours of our first visit. Our Enbridge red tag compliance service covers the complete inspection, repair, and re-certification process.
If another company or a meter reader has told you that you have a cracked heat exchanger, we provide second opinions using a borescope camera and a calibrated combustion analyzer, so the decision to repair or replace is based on evidence rather than pressure.
What emergency HVAC service costs in Toronto
The diagnostic fee for any emergency call is $150, applied to the repair if you proceed. Most emergency repairs land between $300 and $800 CAD including parts, depending on the failure. Weekend and after-hours calls carry a slightly higher rate, and you will see the exact number in writing before our technicians start any work.
Single-component failures such as a capacitor, an igniter, a flame sensor, or a refrigerant recharge typically resolve in the $300 to $450 range. Larger components such as a blower motor, control board, condenser fan motor, or gas valve sit in the $500 to $800 range. If the repair cost approaches or exceeds the value of a replacement system, our technicians will present both options side by side with written prices in CAD, and the decision is yours.
There are no hidden fees. Nothing starts until you have agreed to a written quote.
24/7 HVAC emergency coverage across Toronto and the GTA
Our two-hour emergency response covers all of Toronto, including North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, East York, and York, as well as the wider GTA: Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Woodbridge, Maple, Thornhill, Markham, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and the Durham region including Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, and Oshawa.
Toronto’s older housing stock creates additional urgency around HVAC failures. Brick semis and detached homes in North York, Scarborough, and East York lose heat quickly once the furnace is off, and basements in those areas often have minimal insulation in the rim joist zone. Condo units with fan coils or forced-air systems present a different set of challenges, including tight mechanical rooms and building management access requirements. Our field crew is experienced working in all of these environments.
Whether your home is a semi in Scarborough, a condo in downtown Toronto, a bungalow in Etobicoke, or a detached house in Markham, the response window, the pricing model, and the technician credentials are the same. Overnight and weekend capacity is not reduced during peak demand periods such as cold snaps or summer heat events.
